President of U.S. Soccer quits 3 days after the organization sparked a backlash when its legal papers in a gender discrimination lawsuit claimed the women's national team players had less physical ability and responsibility than their male counterparts.
Cordeiro had issued an apology for the arguments late Wednesday night while the women's team was still on the field against Japan. He added the federation had retained new legal counsel, a move the men's national team on Thursday called “window dressing" and “a sleight of hand.”
She was elected to the U.S. National Hall of Fame in 2018, and was voted in as USSF vice president in 2019. Earlier in the day Parlow Cone posted to Twitter that she was"hurt and saddened" by the brief that USSF's attorneys filed. “I played with Cindy for many years. I know Cindy. She understands ALL the players are going through having lived it. And she is one hell of a human. Give her a chance to succeed. Please,” Foudy posted.
