Disappointed in USSF I am very disappointed in the response United States Soccer Federation gave in its interim contract renewal offer to the women of the national team. There should be, at the minimum, equality with the men's contract, and far greater if one considers both teams impact on the world of soccer. It is as if we are fighting FIFA so the women can use a size-5 ball and play 45 minute halves. Yes, the women's game is different than the men's. Yes, a good U-19 boys team would probably beat the women's national team.
All games are relative.
One would have a hard time convincing me that any other sports team has faired better than these women on our national team. Also ask USSF to support the Title IX initiatives by supporting a reduction in the football scholarships, rather than a reduction to the minor sports such as men's soccer, swimming, wrestling, baseball etc. For, all things being equal, football would make the same amount of money if all Division I schools reduced their football scholarships. There would be fewer boys playing at the collegiate level but the pros would still get the cream of the crop and there would be more parity in the college ranks. I will not watch any game or purchase anything from any advertiser of the games until the original team is rehired and given a fair contract.
