The US women's national team captain has gained the love of her fans in such a way that they named her President of the United States.
Megan Rapinoe has been subject of a lot of headlines during the last couple weeks and not just for her participation with the United States women's national team, but also her opposition against the current US government.
Such is the case that the USWNT captain was identified as 'President of the United States' on her Wikipedia profile, which was edited by her followers, naming her POTUS. In response, Wikipedia blocked Megan Rapinoe's page so that no one else could have a go at changing her profile.
