U.S Soccer announced today that they will in fact provide a live stream on their website for the USWNT match against China PR tomorrow, May 27, at 7 p.m. ET.
This is great news for the fans who are unable to attend the game, but still want to see their team play. A lot of fans took to Twitter to ask for a live stream and U.S. Soccer replied "no." Some fans were so upset that they expressed their belief that U.S. Soccer does not care about USWNT fans.
The pressure from fans must have been overwhelming because all of a sudden U.S Soccer announced that they were going to provide a way for fans to see the game. This was the right thing for U.S Soccer to do. They do not want angry USWNT fans on their hands because that bunch is extremely passionate. They want to appeal to this group and help it grow, not deter it or create suspicion of their care. The fandom will be happy to be able to watch the USWNT play, which will subdue the anger that come from the initial denial.
