Tomorrow marks the last day Megan Rapinoe will play at Lumens Field. The activist and soccer mega-star is retiring after 14 years in the Women's Soccer League, two World Cup titles and one Olympic gold medal. But you haven't heard the last of her yet.

Seattle Times soccer reporter Jayda Evans tells us about Rapinoe's legacy as an activist on and off the pitch, and how that work will continue after her final game.
