Opinion: Women’s soccer settlement is a landmark win for fairness
Opinion: Women’s soccer settlement is a landmark win for fairnessAthletes such as Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka, and – most recently – Mikaela Shiffrin have spoken openly and honestly about mental, not just physical, wellness. Soccer’s Mana Shim and Sinead Farrelly (with support from high-profile stars like Alex Morgan) bravely talked about their allegations of sexual misconduct against coach Paul Riley (who denied them but was fired from his post)And the seeming entirety of American gymnasts, including Biles, not only brought justice to the victims of sexual predator Larry NASSAR, but testified before Congress to ensure that those who enabled the abuse to continue were brought to light. In this vein, this case, launched by 28 soccer players who wanted to fight decades of discrimination at the hands of those they report to, should be seen as much more than a win on the pitch or an attempt to change policy. Rather, it’s a move to change the culture that surrounds not just women’s sport, but women writ large.
