    EVERYONE’S GAME PROGRESS PLAN A WAY FORWARD Soccer in the United States is at an infection point. In the two-plus decades since the World Cup came to the U.S., MLS launched, and our Women’s team won the frst Women’s World Cup, we have made tremendous strides as a soccer nation. But now—to ignite the next phase of growth—we need new vision and new leadership. The U.S. Soccer Federation has risen with the tide of interest of the game in the U.S., generating record profts and an impressive sur- plus. Yet while riding that fnancial wave, it has also lost touch with the grassroots soul of the sport, failed to invest in success at all levels of the soccer pyramid, and, most importantly, overlooked the critical role of its membership in helping build an enduring soccer culture. Over the past several months, I have traveled the widespread perception that the standing of individuals nation and have spoken with hundreds of U.S. Soccer and associations in our soccer family has less to do with members, coaches, athletes, administrators, referees, merit and more to do with the favor of those at the top. and fans. From these conversations, it is clear that the We need not just a new leader but a culture change in Federation is failing to adequately serve its members. leadership, a new approach that is inclusive, transparent, Our nation is full of association and club leaders, and empowering. coaches, players, and parents who love this game— many of them have devoted their lives to helping grow That is what I intend to bring to the Presidency.

    Marketing of Professional Women's Soccer in the United States

    MARKETING OF PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S SOCCER IN THE UNITED STATES THROUGH FEMINIST THEORIES by CHRISTOPHER HENDERSON (Under the Direction of James J. Zhang) ABSTRACT Despite the success of the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT), two women’s soccer leagues have quickly failed in the U.S. This doctoral dissertation examines the past and present of the marketing of professional women’s soccer in the United States emphasizing feminist themes to fulfill three objectives: (a) to critically examine the history of the marketing of women’s soccer in the United States to identify and gain a better comprehension of changes in theory and practice of marketing in women’s soccer in the U.S. over time; (b) to identify and explain the use of three feminist themes in the marketing of women’s soccer, specifically in the NWSL; and (c) to analyze the impact of these three feminist themes on the related marketing strategies used within in the NWSL in an effort to build a framework while also developing recommendations for marketing practitioners for the promotion and marketing of professional women’s soccer in the United States. The historical analysis segment revealed that the failure of the first two professional women’s soccer leagues in the United States were largely a result of poor resource allocation and an inability to connect with and retain fans, the media, and sponsors. The Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) burned through capital at an unsustainable rate and was unable to maintain the excitement of the 1999 Women’s World Cup, leading to microscopic television ratings and perennially falling attendance.
