Question of the Day By - Associated Press - Monday, January 11, 2021
CHICAGO (AP) - Cindy Parlow Cone is unopposed for an additional one-year term as U.S. Soccer Federation president running until February 2022.
Parlow Cone, a former national team midfielder, became president March 11 last year when Carlos Cordeiro quit following a backlash. The federation had claimed in a gender discrimination lawsuit that women players had less physical ability and responsibility than their male counterparts.
Cordeiro had been elected to a four-year term in February 2018, succeeding Sunil Gulati.
