(5,626 posts)38. FIFA needs to invest more in womens sports
They need to really open up to female refs, judges, whatever you call those macho dudes that decides on calls.
Same goes for other sports. Female soccer players are still a curiosity in most of the soccer crazy countries. And many of those soccer ladies are incredibly good at what they do but unfortunately the money isn't there. Why male teams generate the big bucks vs. women teams is the reason so many outstanding female athletes are at a disadvantage. sad, but true.

If FIFA doesn't want to see the games turn into a disaster they should cancel all games in the U.S.
