JAKARTA - United States female soccer player Megan Rapinoe has revealed the reasons for her decision to dye her hair pink and what she is trying to represent.
Rapinoe is one of the most recognized football players in the world, both for what he does on the pitch and for his actions off the pitch.
Her struggle for social justice has accompanied Rapinoe throughout her career, although not everyone likes her.
Such is her sense of self-importance that she even claims her pink hair color has significance for society.
"I always say to myself: look good, feel good and play well, in that order. You have to have it for yourself. When you have it you just go there with a little pressure," he was quoted as saying by Marca, Wednesday, 27 July.
Just before the last World Cup, Rapinoe started to have pink hair.
"It was a fun way to express my style and individuality. Obviously at the World Cup everything was so serious and tense. It was a fun way to send everyone to hell," he said.
“I think the beauty industry only likes one gender. If you want to be beautiful, you have to look like this and that is feminine. And if you want to be sportier, then it's masculine. Why do you have to separate them? I can be sporty and strong and still feel beautiful.
"For me, having pink hair is a way to express how I relate to beauty. When I'm on the field, I want to look beautiful. It's a different form of beauty than when I go out to dinner or when I'm in a photo shoot."
