Celebrating the Women's Soccer World Cup Win

Members of the U.S. women's soccer team, including Megan Rapinoe, center and Julie Ertz, at right waving, celebrates during a ticker tape parade along the Canyon of Heroes, July 10, 2019, in New York.

New York is hosting the ticker-tape parade for the U.S. Women's Soccer team to celebrate their World Cup victory. We are joining the celebration with Lindsay Gibbs, Sports Reporter at ThinkProgress and co-host of Burn It All Down podcast and Isabel Angell, associate producer of WNYC's The Takeaway. Then, WNYC's health reporter and associate producer, Gwynne Hogan talks to us live from the parade. Plus, the ceremony at City Hall.

@BrianLehrer The USWNT generated more revenue than the men's team since 2016 though.

@BrianLehrer there's a significant correlation between girls playing sports and then growing up to become leaders in commerce and public service. #titleix matters
