FS1 Offers Extensive Coverage of Soccer Legend Abby Wambach's Final Professional Match FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, Dec.14, 2015 FS1 OFFERS EXTENSIVE COVERAGE OF SOCCER LEGEND ABBY WAMBACH’S FINAL PROFESSIONAL MATCH Special One-Hour Pregame Show Precedes Icon’s Dec. 16 Finale Los Angeles – FOX Sports pulls out all the stops for the final farewell in the legendary 15-year career of U.S. Women’s National Team superstar Abby Wambach, as the team she led to two Olympic Gold medals and the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup title faces China at the Mercedes- Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Wednesday, Dec. 16 on FS1. A special one-hour pregame show at 7:30 PM ET precedes the international friendly, which kicks off at 8:30 PM ET. The U.S.- China game is a rematch of the 2015 Women’s World Cup quarterfinal in June, which the Americans won, 1-0, on a Carli Lloyd goal. The world’s all-time leading goal-scorer – male or female – with 184 in 252 international matches, Wambach takes the field as a professional for the last time, as the USWNT wraps up its Women’s World Cup victory tour. Play-by-play announcer JP Dellacamera, analyst Cat Whitehill and reporter Jenny Taft call the momentous occasion, all of whom have covered over a dozen U.S. women’s matches this year for FOX Sports, including the squad’s incredible run to the World Cup final, the most-watched soccer match in American history. Retired USWNT defender Heather Mitts, longtime teammate of Wambach at both the University of Florida and the national team, also contributes to pregame and game commentary on-site in New Orleans, with both Wambach and head coach Jill Ellis scheduled to join the FOX Sports’ set on the field. Rob Stone hosts pregame coverage from Los Angeles on FS1 with comprehensive analysis and commentary from a formidable panel of analysts featuring more former Wambach teammates and international foes who have known her both on and off the field. Stone is joined by retired USWNT midfielder Leslie Osborne, England’s record goal-scorer Kelly Smith and former Canadian Women’s National Team goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc, who retired following the 2015 Women’s World Cup. Stone, Osborne, Smith and Mitts were all major contributors to FOX Sports’ critically- acclaimed tournament coverage in Canada this past summer, and LeBlanc was a guest. FS1’s pregame coverage is highlighted by an inspiring feature on Wambach’s contributions to soccer, her impact on women, men, girls and boys, and includes #ThanksAbby tribute video clips compiled from fans across all 50 states. The feature is also set to reveal Wambach's reaction to seeing it for the first time. In addition, during the pregame show, FOX Sports announces the winner of the 2015 U.S. Soccer Female Player of the Year with nominees Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe, Hope Solo, Becky Sauerbrunn and Lauren Holiday in the running. - FOX SPORTS - .

  • What Employers Should Consider About the Women Soccer Players' Wage Discrimination Claim
    04.07.16 What Employers Should Consider about the Women Soccer Players' Wage Discrimination Claim What would you say if you were paid less money for winning than someone else was paid just for showing up? Is that wage discrimination? Yes it is, according to the stars of U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. Last week, five stars of World Cup Champion women's team filed a wage discrimination claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against U.S. Soccer. Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd, Becky Sauerbrunn, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe claim that despite winning more, they are paid less than the men. According to the complaint: − The women's yearly salary is $72,000, compared to the men's yearly salary of $100,000 − The women are paid less for winning exhibition games than men get for simply showing up. The base pay for women to play in exhibition games is $3,600 and they get a bonus of $1,350 if they win; compared to the men who get paid a base of $5,000, with a bonus of $8,166 if they win; − The women receive a lower per diem rate for daily travel expenses. The women receive $50 per day for domestic travel and $60 per day for international travel, whereas the men receive $62.50 and $75.00 respectively; and − "The pay structure for advancement through the rounds of World Cup was so skewed that, in 2015, the men earned $9 million for losing in the round of 16, while the women earned only $2 million for winning the entire tournament.

  • 1 BEFORE the UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant Vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAIN
    BEFORE THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAINT UNDER SECTION 220527 OF THE TED STEVENS ACT I. INTRODUCTION 1. Pursuant to the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act1 (the “Stevens Act”), the United States Olympic Committee (“USOC”) has recognized the United States Soccer Federation (“USSF” or the “Federation”) as the National Governing Body (“NGB”) for the sport of soccer in the United States. This Complaint is being filed because the USSF has become blinded to its fundamental obligation as an NGB to “develop interest and participation throughout the United States and be responsible to the persons and amateur sports organizations it represents.”2 Instead, because of the power, prestige, status and money flowing from the Federation’s alliance with Major League Soccer, a professional men’s league (the “MLS”), and its affiliate, Soccer United Marketing, LLC (“SUM”), the USSF’s paramount concern has become protecting and nurturing the MLS, even if at the expense of other stakeholders, including those involved in professional women’s and amateur soccer. 1 36 U.S.C. § 220501 et seq. 2 Id. § 220524(1). 1 2. Because of its institutional bias in favor of MLS and commercial partnership with SUM, the Federation now appears to believe that its effectiveness should be judged not by how well amateur, youth, women’s and non-MLS men’s professional soccer are doing, but how well MLS is performing and how much money the Federation’s partnership with SUM is generating. Some Federation officials believe they are doing a good job because the entry fee MLS charges new teams keeps increasing even though not a penny of that money goes to the Federation or its non-MLS stakeholders.

    DAILY NEXUS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2019 www.dailynexus.com UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA U.S. Women’s Soccer Captains Speak on Gender Equality, World Cup Success at Arlington Theater Barbara Soccer Club and American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO). “It’s weird seeing her in person and not on my phone screen,” Reese Termond, a 17-year-old who attended the soccer clinic, said after seeing Rapinoe. “She’s actually human and not a robot that dribbles through people and scores goals.” Both on and off the field, Rapinoe was relaxed, personably cracking jokes as she gave advice and answered questions. Morgan was unable to assist at the clinic due to a knee injury but came later to the event to speak to the younger players, urging them to believe in themselves and their abilities. “Did I think that this would actually happen? I’m not sure. But I had the dream when I was 7, my mom believed in me, my family believed in me and that encouragement helped me become who I am today,” Morgan said after being asked by a player at the clinic if she always believed she would play professional soccer. Morgan and Rapinoe’s personal and professional growth was also discussed in-depth at their evening talk. Moderator Catherine Remak, from the radio station K-LITE, brought up their experiences playing high school and college soccer; Rapinoe played for the University of Portland and Morgan for UC Berkeley. Rapinoe joked about her experiences getting “walloped” as a high school player who was “never on a winning team.” But she admitted that the experience of losing led to growth, stating how “even at this level, we’ve had some really tough losses in our career and you can’t let that define you.” Both captains discussed some of the difficult defeats they’ve endured, referencing their loss to Japan at the 2011 FIFA World Cup on a penalty shootout in overtime as an example.
