Linked to the rising call for gender equity worldwide, women’s sports were enjoying unprecedented attention and support before the coronavirus pandemic. The World Cup in France put a spotlight on women’s soccer, culminating with the United States lifting the trophy to chants of “Equal Pay!” — a nod to the team’s gender discrimination lawsuit against U.S. Soccer — and the sport remained in the public eye to open the year. The professional National Women’s Soccer League, home to many of the U.S. national team’s players, was expecting to open its eighth season with a new television contract. Women’s pro softball was looking toward the sport’s return Photo courtesy of Lindy Stallard to the Olympics for the first time Powers athletic director Sam Stevens stands in the press box at the Cruisers’ football field last week as the high school had its own take on the “BeTheLightOR campaign. since 2008.
