I enjoyed reading several articles over the last 24 hours about the US Women's team's victory in the World Cup. This was one of my favorite.
From the article, a quote from Megan Rapinoe: “Getting to play at the highest level at a World Cup with a team like we have is just ridiculous,” Rapinoe said, “but to be able to couple that with everything off the field, to back up all of those words with performances, and to back up all of those performances with words, it’s just incredible.”
When I was a little girl playing soccer with a magazine spread of Mia Hamm's bicycle kick on my wall, I knew that women's soccer was something really special in the United States. But I wouldn't have guessed that it would someday become part of a bigger moment for equal rights in America (and the world), and that is now my hope.
I believe that we will win!
