Description

Guest: Bruce Arthur, sports writer and Star columnist Canada’s national women’s soccer team is playing in the SheBelieves Cup in Orlando, Fla. this week, an important warm-up event in the lead-up to the World Cup five months from now. Instead of wearing red and white jerseys during our national anthem, the team has been wearing purple T-shirts, emblazoned with the words “Enough is Enough.” The protest is the latest in an ongoing and increasingly tense labour dispute with Canada Soccer, the team’s governing body. The colour purple symbolizes gender equality and is a nod to the team’s fight to be paid and treated equally to the men’s national team. Audio Sources: ESPN, Sportsnet and TSN This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Raju Mudhar and Paolo Marques.
