Let’s talk about Michele Kang, a name you might already know as the trailblazing owner of the Washington Spirit, but now she’s making waves in another sport: rugby. Yeah, you read that right. Rugby. This powerhouse just donated a jaw-dropping $4 million to USA Rugby, specifically to elevate women’s rugby. And can we just take a second to appreciate how awesome that is?
Women’s rugby doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves. It’s fast-paced, intense, and packed with talent, but historically, it’s been underfunded. Enter Michele Kang, stepping up like the absolute legend she is. With this donation, she’s saying loud and clear: women athletes matter, their dreams matter, and their sports deserve investment. That’s a mic-drop moment if I’ve ever seen one.
