"This is my charge to everyone: We have to be better. We have to love more, hate less. We've got to listen more and talk less. We've got to know that this is everybody's responsibility." - Megan Rapinoe

00:00This is my charge to everyone. We have to be better. We have to love more, hate less.
00:08We gotta listen more and talk less. We gotta know that this is everybody's responsibility.
00:14Every single person here. Every single person who's not here. Every single person who doesn't want to be here.
00:20Every single person who agrees and doesn't agree. It's our responsibility to make this world a better place.
00:27I think this team does an incredible job of taking that on our shoulders and understanding the position that we have
00:36and the platform that we have within this world. Yes, we play sports. Yes, we play soccer.
00:41Yes, we're female athletes, but we're so much more than that. You're so much more than that.
00:47You're more than a fan. You're more than someone who just supports sports.
00:52You're more than someone who tunes in every four years. You're someone who walks these streets every single day.
00:58You interact with your community every single day. How do you make your community better?
01:03How do you make the people around you better? Your family. Your closest friends.
01:08The ten closest people to you. The twenty closest people to you. The most hundred closest people to you.
01:15It's every single person's responsibility. There's been so much contention in these last years.
01:21I've been a victim of that. I've been a perpetrator of that. With our fight with the Federation.
01:27Sorry for some of the things I said. Not all of the things.
01:32But it's time to come together. This conversation is at the next step.
01:36We have to collaborate. It takes everybody. This is my charge to everybody.
01:41Do what you can. Do what you have to do. Step outside yourself.
01:46Be more. Be better. Be bigger than you've ever been before.
01:50If this team is any representation of what you can be when you do that, please take this as an example.
01:58This group is incredible. We took so much on our shoulders to be here today.
02:03To celebrate with you today. And we did it with a smile.
02:08So do the same for us. Please. I ask you.
02:13New York City, you're the mother****** best!
