As the MLS fan base grows, so does its contingent of female fans and the influence they have on the game of soccer.
In this edition of MLS RoundTable pres. by SNHU, host Susannah Collins sits down with Fox broadcaster Katie Witham, Orlando City SC Founder Kay Rawlins, Atlanta United super-fan Vera Zeigler, and Yael Averbuch of the Seattle Reign to discuss women’s influence on the game, working in soccer, equal pay, and how women can shape the sport in the future.

US women are beautiful

ALWAYS ROWDY!!! ALWAYS PROUD!!!
That table isn’t round
The USWNT lost 5-2 to FC Dallas’ U15 academy team. They sure are good.
Great video
Thank you, MLS and all 4 ladies here on the video! Going forward, I have a question for any women (or male advocates) about USA’s soccer in amateur ranks and the “minor leagues”, I have a hard time learning about great young players who will grow to fill slots in my home region’s Washington Spirit and other NWSL teams. I admit I don’t know how to recognize great soccer play outside of the work of the high pros! Yet, unlike even women’s basketball or other men’s sports, I don’t know where to even look to find the next Julie Foudy, Marta, or Mia Hamm. Is there a way to get more attention on the great women players in college and developmental leagues?
I love women soccer,because there is (most of the time)more goals, and not so much tactics, (yes i know they have tactics)
Why was the us goalkeeper, Hope kicked out of the us woman soccer team?
You can get paid better when the national teams stop losing against under-15 16 boy teams. People say they wanted to be treated fairly but really want be treated better. Not saying the pay is right but stoo blaming others for your down fall.
Im going to hell for this BTW
I've probably seen all of these women on my tv screen at one time or another so it's nice to put a story to the face. We definitely more videos like this, I just need to remember not to read the comment section next time.
KAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! VAMOS ORLANDO!
Katie is smoking hot and she loves soccer! Ayayay 😍
Kay is bae.
Are women trying out for MLS teams? Why not?
I actually love the balance of have women in soccer weather it be media or gm role
Allowing women into men’s soccer would only make the 99.99% of women who can’t compete with men feel like their leagues are just a joke. (Which, I mean, they low key kind of are already)
If I wanted to watch subpar sports I would watch highschool boy's competitions.
The thing here is that they want woman football to be as popular as male football. Popularity is interest and interest pays. If you want equal pay then do your best to make it popular i dont care and i dont believe 99% of football fans care either just dont throw the victim card to get the same pay before youre as popular as male football (never gunna happen)…. With all due respect. Plus its great that woman play. Nothing wrong with it im Happy for them
Yours Sincerely. Facts
You have a hater that wanna keep women in one box, in soccer the side is the most successful, they win world, I don’t understand why the giving the women them such a time the should pump more money in the women games, and the national team will just continue to stay strong yeah!
I hear ppl say the game is boring, but I don’t but, I been watching the women since 96 at the college level and I didn’t fine that to be boring specially the college tournament like the big east, Acc, pac10 NEC, those conference was as competitive as the man game in my opinion, the reason why the women don’t take as big as the MLS it’s because there isn’t enough money there league like big tv deal, that all the big league around the world use to stay relevant leagues ELP with the big buck tv deal globally year after year they take over living room and bars, now if the women game have that kinda machine behind it will take off, cause globally little girls all over the world could view and fall in love leagues and teams, now that would just happen off the back, but in 5 to 8 year time they would see growth, and everything take time
thanks for the inspiring and hopeful conversation. here's to more progress in the future
I don't even understand why MLS has to do anything with women's soccer, they think they can do without they men, so let time either compete(with Men vs Women) or leave men's soccer alone.
I got nothing against promoting women in soccer, I just don't see how people can get away with saying "American women soccer players are better than the Men, therefore they should be paid more", whilst ignoring the hurdles the men have to go through to win their world cup.
