00:00Let's go!
00:30I mean, pretty devastated, obviously, losing the World Cup final, but, you know, I think
00:47we have a lot to be proud of, and we're going back to a country that's extremely proud of
00:51us, and, you know, that means a lot.
01:00Before the games, I made the choice to come out and say that I was gay, and I can't exactly
01:14put my finger on it, but I think it was the best decision I ever made.
01:18I just felt very free heading over to London, and I think I play my best, and am my best
01:23me when I'm doing that.
01:32After this World Cup, we hope that the league is more stable than it was before, and we
01:37hope that the state of women's football is bigger and better than it was before in terms
01:42of, you know, performances by teams, and marketing dollars, and TV rights, and on and on.
02:11We need to do more to make sporting spaces safe for LGBT youth.
02:28A lot of times in women's sports, it's just like bootstraps so hardcore and the budgets
02:45are so tight, like you can't expect to have a business to increase your budget like a
02:50half a percent every year, it's just not going to work.
02:58These things need to be talked about and it's going to take a long time to break down a lot
03:12of the systems that have been ingrained in our culture and society for hundreds of years.
03:17So it's not like one movement or one somewhere where people are excited to talk about it or
03:23one hashtag that goes viral.
03:25We really need sustained conversations, sustained efforts to chip away at these deep grooves
03:32that we have in our culture.
