Why Soccer Matters
|
By Kali Villarosa
July 18, 2011
Fifteen year old Kali Villarosa writes about why she's inspired by the players and excited at the attention paid to her favorite sport.
It mattered but it didn't. I wish the United States had beaten Japan in the Women's World Cup finals. But the bigger win was that millions of people tuned into one of the most watched women's athletic events in history and brought attention to a sport so important to girls like me.
The World Cup tournament was held in Germany this year, and the United States played Japan in the final in front of a sold-out crowd of thousands of fans. ESPN televised the matches and tens of millions more watched the very exciting final, including soldiers in Afghanistan and even President Obama with his family in the White House. In New York, fans flocked to Times Square to cheer for the US. team on giant video screens. And, when Abby Wambach scored her header in overtime, my family and I could hear cheers up and down 5th Avenue near my house in Brooklyn. It's amazing to see how far Women's soccer has come. Just a few years ago, nobody even acknowledged the women in the sport, and they were often forced to play on small unimportant fields. Now fans from all over the world look up to these women as role models, and that is truly what they are.
