Ubuntu Peoples Podcast, Ep #68--Thori Staples Bryan: Hope SoloEd--Black Women in US Soccer & The Impact of The WNT

Thori Staples Bryan earned 64 caps with the US Women's Senior National Team, 1993-2003. She played in the 1995 World Cup, was an All-American, a two time college Player of the Year nominee. She has always been one of the few Black players on any team from rec on up. What impact did that *SoloEd* existence have on her personal development, on success? What does she recall about her WNT days? What does it take to make it that far and be a dominant woman? What does she see now with the young crop of [Black] players, what is her hope for them in US Soccer. Thori talks about the impact of the core 1999 WNT group on soccer and women's sports in general... and about the infamous fight she was involved in vs Trinidad :)
