Women's soccer is a feminist issue? Umm, ok. But it's a racial issue. *intersectional gasp*

Team USA acting like brown girls don't play fútbol in here.... Ugh.

The fact of the matter is that there are brown girls that play—and they play well. But they have to play in dirt fields because racism.

For example, after rich whites gentrified Silverlake, they started banning kids from playing fútbol there.pic.twitter.com/LkfbpKz0nG

Like, if you go to this park, this is the only sign that's translated into Spanish. It basically reads, "Fuck you brown people go home."

And at the professional level, brown girls are basically told the same thing. Just ask Teresa Noyola.

Noyola is an excellent player—but got told to go back to Mexico instead of play for Team USA: http://espn.go.com/espnw/news-commentary/2015worldcup/article/12962975/dual-citizens-help-comprise-mexico-women-world-cup-roster …pic.twitter.com/wq8h94pGhL

Oh, you're such a good player, but yeah, just go to Mexico. Ridiculous.

Funny how that "women's soccer is a feminist issue" thing misses out on intersectionality entirely.
-
Create a program that brings girls who look like us to play front and center for Team USA. That would be feminist. Like actually feminist.
