Three months before the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the players filed a class-action, gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation, which sets the stage for LFG. The film interweaves transcendent athletic performances, including a record-breaking World Cup victory in 2019, with the players’ ongoing pursuit for equal pay. LFG grants viewers unprecedented access to these game-changers as they meet the physical demands and pressures of being some of the world’s top athletes, while showcasing their courage, unflinching spirit and resiliency in an effort to create long-lasting social change. Told by the players themselves, including Megan Rapinoe, Jessica McDonald, Becky Sauerbrunn, Kelley O’Hara, Sam Mewis and others, this emotional and cinematic film uncovers what it takes to be at the center of the biggest fight for women’s rights since Title IX.
The income generated from women’s soccer doesn’t cut it. Nobody really gives a sh— about women’s sports in general.
Following the logic of the U.S. Women’s National Team, the boys’ high school teams that can beat them deserve an equal share of their pay.
Are we supposed to know what “LFG” stands for or did they just choose three random letters?
I couldn't find out what the acronym meant just by reading the description and I'm not interested enough to watch the documentary to find out. Kind of a mini summary of women's sports in general. And they wonder why they can't get paid the same as men.
OK, I looked a bit further and found the following:
“Let’s f****** go!” I guess.
Sounds like the sequel should be WFC, as in Who F****** Cares.
