WPS its all about Inspiration

The fans love their heros, the stadium was packed, a good game was played and none of that was the point. The inaugural game has come and gone for Women's Soccer. The Los Angeles Sol left the field as the winners. And it's about so much more than that.

The existence of Women's Pro Soccer is success in itself. Its giving young girls and women across the nation a group of role models to look up to and a sport to aspire to play on a professional level. So often in America today, sexism is ignored and it still exists. Professional sports are great example of the unlevel playing fields. Its great to have another step taken to create a more equal field to dream on.

As Peter Wilt, president of the Chicago Red Stars, one of the WPS's seven inaugural teams said, "Our definition of success is not 10,000 fans a game, or being on 'SportsCenter' every night, or even on the front pages of newspapers,". WPS's success is being the inspiration they are to women across America. Thank you!
