9 Pics of the USWNT New York Parade that Will Make You Cheer All Over Again
This week should really be declared U.S. Women's National Soccer Team Week since none of us can stop celebrating their glorious win over Japan in the Women's World Cup final last Sunday. Los Angeles hosted a rally for the champions on Tuesday, and today, New York City held a ticker tape parade for them. The icing on the cake for us is that the venerable Robin Roberts emceed the event! But we weren't the only ones who were impressed. Roberts had the following to say about the historic moment in women's sports:
"As a proud product of Title 9, as a woman who played sports at a time when it wasn't really embraced, to see this and to see the level of play, just warms my heart. And then to be emcee, a drop-the-mic moment for me in my career," Roberts said, according to ABC News.
