Star striker Megan Rapinoe said she does not think the United States' Women's World Cup-winning team would accept an invitation from President Donald Trump to visit the White House.

"I would not go and every teammate that I've talked to explicitly about it would not go," Rapinoe said on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."
Rapinoe, one of several gay players on the team, also took aim at Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, saying the president is looking back to a time that "was not great for everyone."
The president responded on Twitter that "Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team."
