Quotable

“Even though we’re making such incredible strides in women’s sports, we’re nowhere near where we need to be and it takes work and it takes investment and it takes really hard stances at times—even taking your employer to court during a World Cup. These things seem big and scary, but the magnitude and how far it pushes us not only in women’s sports, but women in the workplace in general, it’s a huge deal. And we have to keep doing this and showing and giving space for these younger players, to educate them and have them have a voice as well in these really important decisions because it impacts them for a really long time.”
– Former Professional Soccer Player and Gotham FC Global Creative Advisor Ashlyn Harris at the CNBC x Boardroom Game Plan Summit on the state of women in sports
