Sue Bird is a Rockstar and so is her Girlfriend

This essay, written by the legendary Sue Bird, for the Player's Tribune dropped today.  If you do one thing today, take the five minutes to read it.  You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go "awwww"and you'll be reminded just how dangerous a certain someone's Tweets are.

"O.K. so now that that’s out of the way, I’ll answer The Question. The one that’s probably most on your mind. And by that I mean: What’s it like to have the literal President of the literal United States (of literal America) go Full Adolescent Boy on your girlfriend? Hmm. Well… it’s WEIRD. And I’d say I actually had a pretty standard reaction to it: which was to freak out a little." 

I've been a huge fan of Sue's since her days at UConn.  I'm pretty sure she literally bleeds ice cold Husky blue!  Husky fans adore her.  Even now, if you talk with a UConn fan and the topic turns to Sue it's all accolades, swoons, and smiles.  When her relationship with Megan Rapinoe, soccer's superstar, was revealed right before the All Star game a few years ago everyone was so happy.  Husky fans knew Sue to be a very private person.  It was so amazing to see Sue so happy and to be so proud of who she was.  Megan and Sue have since become Seattle's ultimate power couple, and the most dominate sports couple ever.  

The closing of the article says it all:

"But on Friday? It was like for this one, perfect, fleeting, uncomplicated day….. I was everyone.I was happy.
I was crazy.
I was PROUD.
I was pretending to know about soccer.
I was a little overwhelmed.
I was pretty damn American.
And I was in love with Megan Rapinoe."

We should all celebrate the amaziness of Sue and Megan and we should all be so lucky to find a partner that loves you as much as the love between Sue and Megan that this article lets us see.  I spend a lot of time on social media reading comments after games and some of them are just so horrible.  If you're giving up watching soccer because you can't stand that Rapinoe knelt for the anthem or doesn't sing the words, you were never a real fan to begin with.  But if you love a good love story, read this article.  You'll feel better about the world!
