Our beloved Portland Thorns are quite exceptional. Back to the top of the table. Smith was a fearless force, but Sugita and Dunn put on a show. #BAONPDX #PortlandThorns #NWSL #Soccer #PDX

Today in Labor History June 23, 1972: Title IX of the United States Civil Rights Act of 1964 was amended to prohibit sexual discrimination to any educational program receiving federal funds. As a result, there has been a huge increase in girls’ athletic programs in high schools and colleges and, consequently, professional women athletes. It is probably one of the reasons why the U.S. has been able to produce so many top-level women soccer players and dominate women’s soccer for the past 20 years. In 2022, after filing a claim for equal pay, the U.S. women’s national soccer team won equal pay to the men. The World Surf League has been providing equal pay to female and male athletes for four years now. Title IX also prohibits banning transgender athletes from competing in school sports.

Sometimes offsides in soccer brings me to a rage. I feel like saying:

"Hey defenders. You better learn to run faster!"

This is Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu. He’s a midfielder for the English football (soccer) team Luton Town, who were just promoted into the Premier League.

Their story is a fairytale of sort. Especially Pelly’s. He’s now the first player to play in all five flights of English football with the same club.
