"All 28 members of the world champion United States women’s national team filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the United States Soccer Federation on Friday, a sudden and significant escalation of a long-running fight over pay equity and working conditions that comes only months before the team will begin defense of its Women’s World Cup title."

Guess this was coming.[/quote]

This takes a lot of guts at any time.  But with the World Cup looming, major major guts.  Performance should not matter to the merits of their claim.  But we know that the public may be a little more skeptical about the lawsuit if they don't do really well.  I am sure the players were all committed to victory before this, but after filing, you know they know they feel like they have to win it.  Best of luck on both fronts from a dad who has only a son but saw his military mom fight a lot of gender discrimination for years.[/quote]
