Daily News | Becky Sauerbrunn thanks U.S. Soccer for taking a stand on abortion and gun violence
And in talking to lots of people around U.S. Soccer, from players to coaches to staff, there’s simply a lot of emotion — on the record and off it — about the state of things these days.
“That’s something that we’ve been asking of them for a very long time,” said Sauerbrunn, who in addition to being a national team veteran serves on the Athlete Council that is the players’ voice in governance matters. As Sauerbrunn spoke with the media, the subject came up of whether national teams should play in states with laws that are discriminatory, or harmful in other ways the players and staff don’t like.
“We’re going to be playing in states where people won’t be able to access abortion,” she said. “It’s definitely crushing, and with the federation we hope that the states that we go to, we can continue to use our platform, and really to push for change and to educate and elevate and bring awareness.”
