But given the scope of her societal impact, dubbing her Sportsperson of the Year felt like a massive understatement.During Rapinoe's meteoric rise, she drew the ire of President Donald Trump after she was caught on video telling a journalist that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/megan-rapinoe-not-going-to-white-house-if-us-wins-2019-6">she was not "going to the f------ White House"</a> if the USWNT won the 2019 World Cup in France. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-says-megan-rapinoe-should-win-before-she-talks-2019-6">Trump responded</a> by suggesting that Rapinoe should "win before she talks," and the prolific scorer answered by winning the Golden Ball and Golden Boot for her outstanding efforts in securing the USWNT's fourth World Cup victory. And earlier this month, the international soccer community recognized the USWNT captain as the world's best female player of the year by awarding her with the most-coveted honor in the game - the Ballon d'Or.Even though her summer performance - and feud with the president - attracted the world's attention to an unprecedented degree, Rapinoe has a long history of speaking out against homophobia, racism, sexism, and other forms of injustice. Notably, she was one of the first white athletes to kneel during pregame renditions of the national anthem in solidarity with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/colin-kaepernick">Colin Kaepernick</a>. <a href="https://www.out.com/travel-nightlife/london/2012/07/02/fever-pitch">She came out as gay</a> four years before same-sex marriage was legalized across the United States in a considerably risky move for an athlete who relies on lucrative endorsement deals to make a sustainable living. Later, she encouraged USWNT teammates Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris - who will marry this month - to have the courage to do the same."Megan said something," <a href="https://www.si.com/sportsperson/2019/12/09/megan-rapinoe-2019-sportsperson-of-the-year">Krieger told Sports Illustrated's Jenny Vrentas</a>, "that I will never forget: that there are young kids who are too scared to be themselves, and if we keep hiding, it doesn't make it normal to be in a lesbian relationship."Perhaps it was that increased vulnerability Rapinoe and her teammates experienced in coming out that forced them to consider the implications of gender on their financial situation. While many high-profile athletes look for endorsement opportunities to supplement their incomes, the vast majority of female athletes in the United States literally cannot make ends meet based on their salaries alone. Today, the maximum salary for a player in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) - the world's most elite women's soccer league in which Rapinoe, Krieger, and Harris all play - is $50,000. And last year, the <a href="https://www.slamonline.com/wnba/nba-releases-average-wnba-salary-figures-2018-season/">average WNBA salary was $116,000</a> - nearly half a million dollars less than the minimum for an NBA player.Rapinoe and her teammates on the USWNT recognized that this disparity extended to their compensation relative to the US Men's National Team. Citing the US Soccer Federation's 2015 financial statement, <a href="https://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/story/_/id/15102506/women-national-team-files-wage-discrimination-action-vs-us-soccer-federation">ESPN reported</a> that "despite the women's team generating nearly $20 million more revenue last year than the U.S. men's team, the women are paid about a quarter of what the men earn." Shortly after the team's 2016 World Cup victory, Rapinoe joined Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, and Becky Sauerbrunn in filing a complaint against the US Soccer Federation through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).The five women's efforts led to 28 members of the USWNT filing a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/national-team-womens-soccer-players-sue-for-equal-pay-2019-3">lawsuit against US Soccer</a> mere months before the 2019 World Cup. In the suit, the team accused the federation of gender discrimination and unequal treatment that violated both the Equal Pay Act and Title XII. Though the lawsuit forged on throughout the USWNT's World Cup run this summer, mediation began in August, after the team returned stateside. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/megan-rapinoe-us-soccer-equal-pay-negotiations-2019-8">But when talks with US Soccer stalled</a> shortly after that, Rapinoe spoke out."If and when, and ever, they are willing to have a conversation about equal pay that starts there and goes forward … We're always open for that," <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/u-s-women-s-soccer-team-ready-take-fair-pay-n1042566">Rapinoe told NBC's "Today."</a> "We won't accept anything less than equal pay."My colleagues and I have covered the 34-year-old striker regularly since she made waves at this summer's World Cup, so I was invited to Monday night's ceremony honoring Rapinoe. Held at Ziegfeld Ballroom, a swanky venue in midtown Manhattan, the event featured a red carpet, bottomless cocktails, and a multi-course meal.When I arrived, Rapinoe was sitting on a modern white couch in the center of a dim-lit VIP room swirling with supermodels, elite business professionals, and other high-profile athletes - including Shaquille O'Neal. And as I made my way down to the main reception area, I noticed more of the same. I couldn't help but take stock of the predominantly white, male, wealthy, and middle-aged makeup of the audience.It struck me as ironic given everything Rapinoe stands for. As it turns out, this irony wasn't lost on the evening's honoree, either.She began her speech by thanking her teammates, friends, loved ones, and "all the people who make whatever the hell this all is happen" before pivoting to the importance of truth."As I stand here today, I find myself dead struck by the gravity of responsibility of what it means to bear witness and how incredibly important that is," Rapinoe said. "To bear witness, by definition, is to show that something exists or is true. Think about that for a second - to show that something exists or is true. As members of the media and myself as a public figure - whatever that means - to have some sort of platform goes so far beyond any playing field or any story that we could write. And while we don't get to choose what it is that we witness, we are the gatekeepers of those stories, and we do get to decide how we bear witness to the world around us and to the truth that we see."Then, Rapinoe spoke some truth to power right then and there."Is it true that I am the fourth woman deserving of this award? I don't think so," she said. "Is it true that so few writers of color deserve to be featured in this publication? Is it true that so few women's voices deserve to be heard and deserve to be read in this publication? I don't think so."Rapinoe's speech was emblematic of her personal brand of heroism and the fearless defiance with which she approaches all of her passions. On the pitch, she cowers in the face of no opponent and boldly attacks each defender who challenges her. Off the field, she is unflinching in her advocacy and unapologetic in her confrontation of each instance of injustice she encounters - even within systems from which she explicitly benefits. She knows that it's her superpower, and she said as much on Monday."And thus, my success, let's get into that," she said. "I think my success bears witness to not only the necessity of speaking truth to power but also just the power of truth."Few athletes have so bravely stood against inequitable institutions at the height of their careers. She joins an elite group including prominent figures like Muhammad Ali, who was convicted of draft evasion during the Vietnam War; Billie Jean King, who advocated for equal prize money for men and women's tennis champions; and Colin Kaepernick, who was blackballed from the NFL after kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality against people of color.Like those three transcendent athletes, Rapinoe forever altered society as we know it. She's inspired a generation of women to take up space and fight hard for fair treatment unabashedly. She helped bring an unprecedented level of attention to women's soccer - and perhaps women's professional sports on the whole - in the United States, with <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/soccer/2019/08/06/world-cup-since-uswnt-win-nwsl-teams-see-attendance-skyrocket/1923490001/">NWSL games drawing record-breaking crowds</a> after the World Cup and the <a href="https://frntofficesport.com/wnba-viewership-growth/">WNBA enjoying a ratings bump</a> during the 2019 season.Indeed, it's difficult to argue that Rapinoe hasn't helped paint women's team sports in a new, more serious light. The magnitude and seemingly enduring nature of that impact is the idea that young girls can more realistically dream of making a comfortable living playing the sport they love thanks in large part to their outspoken idol.That makes the significance of her Sportsperson of the Year win look comparatively small. <ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/megan-rapinoe-asks-messi-ronaldo-ibrahimovic-to-fight-racism-sexism-2019-12">Megan Rapinoe calls out Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to do more to fight racism and sexism</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/megan-rapinoe-nike-ballon-dor-cleats-2019-12">Nike made one-of-a-kind cleats for Megan Rapinoe inspired by her hair and trophies to honor her Ballon d'Or win</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/paige-bueckers-uconn-highlight-shows-why-shes-genos-next-star-2019-12">UConn's top recruit dropped a jaw-dropping dime that shows why she's primed to be one of the next big stars in college basketball</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/most-memorable-college-basketball-teams-of-the-decade-2019-12">The 13 most memorable college basketball teams of the decade</a></li></ul>

 Even though cricketers are winning the brand endorsement game hands down, many sportspersons such as <keyword id="28211" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Abhinav-Bindra">Abhinav Bindra</keyword>, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=saina+nehwal&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Saina Nehwal</a>, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=gagan+narang&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Gagan Narang</a>, etc are also bagging deals worth crores. 
 
The latest to join the bandwagon of multi-crore brand deals becomes cricket’s current heartthrob, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=virat+kohli&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Virat Kohli</a>, who has just signed a Rs 110-crore deal with Puma, pegging him right up the order.

Some of our sportspersons lost the chance to get the medal by a whisker as shooter Abhinav Bindra, rower Dattu Bhokanal and judoka Avtar Singh finished fourth, missing the third spot by a point or two. 
 
Indian weight-lifter Sathish Sivalingam was also out of the medal bracket and India’s hope for medals from Jitu Rai, Gagan Narang and Heena Sidhu also ended. 
 
Indian swimmers Sajan Prakash, Shivani Kataria were also knocked out of the competition and even archer laxmirani Majhi crashed out of women’s individual archery event. 
 But, there is still hope for India, which has sent its largest contingent ever, as boxers <keyword id="23353" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="manoj-kumar">Manoj Kumar</keyword>, Vikas Krishnan and gymnast Dipa Karmakar are still in the foray.

Here are the hopefuls that will open the scorecard for India on medal tally. Fingers crossed!

Price perfectly summed up Williams' dominance in 2015:Williams, 34, won three major titles, went 53-3 and provided at least one new measure of her tyrannical three-year reign at No. 1. For six weeks this summer-and for the first time in the 40-year history of the WTA rankings-Williams amassed twice as many ranking points as the world No. 2; at one point that gap grew larger than the one between No. 2 and No. 1,000. Williams's 21 career Grand Slam singles titles are just one short of Steffi Graf's Open-era record.

India is a country obsessed with sports and the <keyword id="1177390" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="sportspeople">sportspeople</keyword> that play the game. Many of them have a fan following so large and so dedicated, that it ensues in hero worship. But along with adoration from fans, thrill of the game and acclaim from peers, the other aspect that drives sportspeople to ace and excel in the game is the cash flow. A successful sportsperson in India comes with its own set of perks, including those of the monetary kind—usually enjoyed by cricketers here. Here are ten of <keyword id="2562301" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="wealthiest-cricketers">wealthiest cricketers</keyword> in the country.

Top Ten Wealthiest Cricketers In India

A lot of us are afraid to fail despite knowing success is not a guaranteed thing. Our defeat is a weakness we do not want to face or let others know not understanding that the biggest failure can become the key to the biggest success in life, only if we take it in our stride and let nothing in the way affect our determination. Sounds philosophical, right? But the fact is, it couldn’t be more true. 
 
We may believe it as a sign of weakness that we can hide from the world and from ourselves, but contrary to this belief, a number of highly successful achievers often credit a failure or two to their success. 
 “I enjoyed my sweat because hard work doesn’t guarantee success, but without it I didn’t have a chance.” These are precious words that give out the inspiring success story of <keyword id="3125605" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Alex-Rodgriguez">Alex Rodgriguez</keyword>, American professional baseball infielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball. 
 So, whenever you feel let down over the littlest of things, remember these quotes by the most successful sportspersons of all times like <keyword id="6354267" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sachin-Tendulkar">Sachin Tendulkar</keyword>, <keyword id="28723" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Usain-Bolt">Usain Bolt</keyword>, <keyword id="20491" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Tiger-Woods">Tiger Woods</keyword> because they are the epitome of hard work and determination, and they must have done something right to achieve the laurels that they have!

A proposed marriage between <keyword id="6355013" type="SPORT" weightage="100" keywordseo="tennis">tennis</keyword> and the world of business, International Premier Tennis League (<keyword id="1685851" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="IPTL">IPTL</keyword>) aims to model itself after the grandiosity and market intelligence of other <keyword id="879680" type="SPORT" weightage="100" keywordseo="international-league">international league</keyword> sports. Businesswise, too, it makes sense. After all these years of hardcore sports that we have seen, the world has started looking at sports in a way that’s beyond the actual <keyword id="17101" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="sports-events">sports events</keyword>. 
 In a global village, we are well aware of the fact that sports events are no longer limited to <keyword id="756385" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sporting-activities">sporting activities</keyword> alone. For a player, it is definitely about winning (if possible) some coveted events and competitions that are pitted to receive some hyped up <keyword id="36914" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Media-coverage">media coverage</keyword>. Then things move onto a different league, literally. <keyword id="65389" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sponsorship">Sponsorship</keyword> is part of a sportsperson’s life, if he dreams of making it big, nationally or internationally. Therefore, when business houses support <keyword id="1969519" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Budding-sportspersons">budding sportspersons</keyword>, the underlying message is never just encouragement or philanthropy. 
 With the grand success of the <keyword id="6354831" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Indian-Premier-League">Indian Premier League</keyword> (IPL) where cricket reached a new height and stirred up the kind of frenzy we had never seen before, other sports are just waiting to join the big league. Tennis and <keyword id="1226" type="SPORT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Golf">golf</keyword> are glamorous games as well, with a plethora of international events providing the much-needed exposure to sportspersons. And when a champion like <keyword id="39497" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Andy-Murray">Andy Murray</keyword> decides to entrust Bhupathi (one of his chief business managers) with the entire <keyword id="1969521" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Branding-exercise">branding exercise</keyword>, it won’t be wrong to surmise that tennis is just waiting to be ‘discovered as a brand’ in countries that are yet to witness its full potential from every aspect. 
 Bhupathi is a heady mix of sports and sheer business acumen – a rather uncommon and prized combination in the arena. As a winner of multiple <keyword id="6410539" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="doubles">doubles</keyword> and mixed double Grand Slam titles during the days when the media didn’t pay much attention to tennis, he had seen the world slowly take note of the business sense that sports made. The winners are already basking in <keyword id="1969522" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Media-limelight">media limelight</keyword> for their achievements and this means instant familiarity with the viewers. 
 At his swanky office on Linking Road in upmarket Mumbai, Bhupathi sits to unravel the equation between <keyword id="1969517" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Tennis-and-business">tennis and business</keyword>. Here, the sport will be packaged as entertainment and sold to the excitement-hungry crowds. An ideal content for the mass media would be up for grabs, sooner than later. 
 
What would it pack apart from excitement? The joy of watching the tennis stars live as they sweat it out on the courts. Right now, we don’t get to see too many of them. Players will be soon chosen through an auction, which is scheduled to take place before the Australian Open in January. And bidders, depending on their choice and capacity, can pick up the players across five price categories. 
 Players at the IPTL will be categorised based on their <keyword id="41681" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="ranking">ranking</keyword>, popularity and potential. Not a single element that makes for the market would be left out while considering the categorisation! So who all will be there on whom you can feast your eyes? Of course some big names – both men and women – would be roped in to add zing to this project. Former tennis stars might be seen here too, whipping up some action on-court and bringing back the good old days of pure sport. 
 But what about the <keyword id="34412" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="economy">economy</keyword> behind this? For starters, Bhupathi says that there will be five-set matches lasting for three hours in all and teams of 6-10 players. He has also worked out a ballpark figure for a sports event of this stature and it is going to be around $4-10 million in franchise alone, including salaries of the players across the table. 
 Viewed as an elite <keyword id="5189" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="competition">competition</keyword> that will feature the world’s best through six franchisees across the nations, IPTL has surely raised high expectations and excitement among the tennis fraternity. 
 The potential of this project is immense. Going by world No. 1 <keyword id="55696" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Novak-Djokovic">Novak Djokovic</keyword>’s response, this plan is ‘revolutionary’ and Bhupathi is not among those who would want to see the excitement wane. Now that expectations are running high, he knows that he should get cracking with the plans at the earliest; else this can fall flat on the face. 
 
Curtain will go up on the IPTL in November 2014 or latest by December that year. Till then, Bhupathi and his team hope to keep up the excitement, starting with the bidders and holding events relating to the inauguration. 
 Interestingly, the event will be held at the hot seat of fashion and arts. <keyword id="106" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Paris">Paris</keyword> has been chosen to play host to IPTL’s inaugural event. Now all ye tennis lovers, you know where you are going to be when the event takes place. Book your tickets, Now!
