[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well - there is a lot on the USSF plate currently and I would say it is 50/50 if it can survive next year.  It does have an entirely new leadership team so there is some hope.  The biggest drag on immediate change is the deal with SUM does not expire until the end of next year.

But - that does not make up for 30 years of discrimination against women and girls to say - hey moving forward we won’t discriminate.

And - other very big issues:  The men’s national team has not had a contract since the end of 2018.  Now - the popular players are not MLS guys and their commitment in playing on the national team is very different.  (World Cup stuff - no problem.  Everything else has to fit around their club schedules.)   The USSF needs a deal with the men’s side.

Youth clubs all pretty much hate the USSF and would happily see it die.  They are pretty sick of the MLS first policy that has routinely and regularly screwed them.

Refs gave up on the USSF 10 years ago.

If the USSF can keep it together through next year - maybe moving forward they can do some deals with the national teams and the women/girl’s sides.  Maybe.  Very maybe.

Male players are discriminated against as well, but in different ways. It’s about those in charge (coaches and owners) and those not (players). Men get yelled at and belittled all the time but they’ve been raised to accept that. As far as the sexual quid pro quo, that’s different obviously and any coach or owner proven to have done that should be handled appropriately both civilly and depending on the scenario criminally.
