The World Cup champs are going to be honored with the prestigious parade Friday, and everyone is suddenly realizing that no female athlete/athletic team has been giving a parade in NYC since 1960, when Olympic Champion Carol Heiss Jenkins got one.
The championship game the US women played Sunday night against Japan got the highest ratings of any televised sport since 2010.
I hear people complain that women's sports aren't as exciting to watch as men's sports...and on the whole, professional women's sports doesn't rake in the $$ like professional male sports.
But for pete's sake, did we have to deny female athletes a ticker tape parade for 50 plus years???
