The future of women's soccer

ESPN had a piece "The women try to find a way" on the state of women's soccer in this country - the hopes of reviving the professional league don't look so great right now. On the other hand, the national players did settle their labor contracts  - here is the AP piece appearing in USA Today. The highlight being that if the team wins the Olympics or World Cup each player could earn up to $200,000. (The U.S. men's players contracts stipulate bonuses in the $750,000 range for winning the World Cup - but, of course, that's a huge long shot -sorry guys).  The women's agreement also included maternity leave provisions.
