00:00 When you're looking at a game that already doesn't have a lot of black
00:03 women and then you see Breanna Scurry and you're just like this is strange but
00:10 I'm liking it and she's dominating she's dominating. Breanna Scurry she was it.
00:16 She was before Venus and Serena. She was the one that broke the mold. What she did
00:22 was get the world ready for people like me for people like Megan Rapinoe to step
00:27 in and Megan Rapinoe it.
00:31 Goalkeepers have to be a little bit bat-sh*t crazy. One of the greatest we've ever seen
00:39 not just in the US but in the world. My kick is insignificant if she doesn't
00:44 make a save. She was the right goalkeeper at the right time. When I look back I
00:49 feel like I've always been the only. The only girl. The only black kid. The only
00:55 openly gay player. Even on the field I was the only one that could save us. But
01:00 the real challenge was saving myself. Off the field the things that she was going
01:06 through he didn't talk about stuff like that.
01:08 Rye's story is an epic story because the outcome wasn't guaranteed and the
01:14 struggle was profound. I was in the depths of hell and somebody threw me a
01:18 lifeline.
