The US Football Federation president Carlos Cordeiro has resigned on 12 December after offensive comments about women. The decision to resign from the head of USSF was made after the fierce reaction from superstar Megan Rapinoe.
The American women’s soccer captain is not the only one to respond to USSF’s comments. In this record, the USSF said that wearing the men’s national team requires a higher level of skill based on strength and speed compared to competing in the women’s team. The record argues that male players are more responsible than women when representing the country.
The files were submitted earlier this week in a gender discrimination lawsuit filed by the US women’s team against the federation last March. They demanded a return of $ 66 million returned under a law of fairness and civil rights with the lawsuit scheduled for trial this May.
As soon as Cordeiro resigns, USSF Vice President Cindy Parlow Cone will take over the presidency according to the federation’s rules. Cone was among those who criticized comments made in the legal record that Mr. Cordeiro said did not scrutinize.
The Coca-Cola Company is a long-term sponsor of the USSF. And FIFA has criticized the comments as saying that they cannot accept this. On the evening of 11.5, Mr. Cordeiro issued an apology from the American women’s football team.
It was the team that won its second consecutive World Cup title in France last year. Prior to the final of this tournament, the American women’s players who wore jerseys deliberately covered the USSF logo during the warm-up. They do so in response to unfair treatment of wages and training and competition conditions compared to male players.
He wants the best today to find a new direction. The debate and language in this week’s legal profile has caused great insult, especially for the outstanding female national team players. He had no chance to review the entire file before submitting and he was responsible for not doing so. If he did, he would object to such languages
