PLAYERS for the US women’s national team may have been dealt a blow by a judge’s ruling in their gender discrimination lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation (USSF) but the case is far from over.

The women have vowed to keep up the fight, encouraged by the likes of Joe Biden, Billie Jean King and even the men’s national team.

“This is just a setback,” King said when asked what she would tell the team. “There’s so many of these ups and downs. Just keep learning from it, keep going for it. You’re still such a great influence, not only in soccer, but for equality for everyone.”
