   U.S. women soccer team co-captain Megan Rapinoe, who is publicly   
   feuding with President Donald Trump, confirmed on Tuesday night   
   that the World Cup champs have not been invited to the White   
   House, but that the team has accepted invitations from lawmakers   
   to visit the U.S. Capitol.   
      
   Rapinoe, the team's top scorer and an outspoken activist for   
   civil rights, declared before her team's historic win that she   
   would boycott a potential White House visit and told CNN on   
   Tuesday that "every teammate that I've talked to explicitly   
   about it would not go."   
      
   "I don't think anyone on the team has any interest in lending   
   the platform that we've worked so hard to build, and the things   
   that we fight for, and the way that we live our life -- I don't   
   think that we want that to be co-opted or corrupted by this   
   administration," she said.   
      
   So far, there is no word from the White House on whether the   
   team will receive an invitation.   
      
   But the women's soccer team did receive invitations to   
   Washington by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Senate   
   Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,   
   along with a bipartisan group of House members and was honored   
   by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio at a ticker-tape parade on   
   Wednesday.
