Megan Rapinoe And Sue Bird Announce They're Splitting

Former USWNT starMegan Rapinoeand WNBA legendSue Birdhave announced they are splitting up after nearly a decade together.

According toYahoo Sports, the two sports stars got together in 2017. But, despite having similar backgrounds and pretty similar political views, they couldn't make it work.

"This hasn’t been an easy decision but it’s one we’ve made together, with so much love, respect and care for each other. We’ve shared a whole life over the last decade, through big moments and in quiet ones, and that is something we’ll always carry with us."

Man, the last thing I was expecting on this beautiful Friday afternoon was to have the conscious uncoupling of sports' biggest lesbian power couple come sliding across my desk.

Honestly, though, if I were expecting it and it happened, I wouldn't be writing this. I'd be out buying Powerball tickets as we speak.

Now, ‘round these parts, you’re not going to find too many Megan Rapinoe fans thanks to her, uh, "outspoken" (read: bats--t insane) nature.

That said, I'm never going to cheer on someone's marital failures. That's just cool.

Something like this isn't just tough on the two people involved; it's tough on their friends and family, too.

You can disagree with people and still wish them pleasant personal lives.
