Although the concept of leaving the nation to protest or make a message is not new, it gains more weight when expressed by well-known individuals like Rapinoe and Goldberg.
Their talks about perhaps moving highlight a long-standing discontent with the way their efforts and achievements are seen and appreciated. According to Goldberg and Rapinoe,
The idea of leaving is not just motivated by personal discontent but also by a larger critique of the status of American society and the deference given to those who advocate for change.
Both Goldberg and Rapinoe have mentioned a number of important topics in their public remarks that add to their sense of undervaluation.
Goldberg has drawn attention to the difficulties experienced by people who question the current quo as well as a lack of tolerance for other viewpoints.
