back to you. >> sorry about that. i got reprimanded i was talk wig our next guest i was very excited to speak to retired professional women's soccer player on mission to bring awareness to the gender inequality that perm me yates sports worldwide her name is lori lindsay a former member of the women' us national team joining the fight against female athlete pay discrimination. last year several players on the us women's national team filed a wage diss discrimination against the us soccer federation. she's going sky high in an effort to bridge the pay gap. she's headed to tanzania africa to climb the continent tallest mountain to play a game of around the world. before she packs her bags she joins us live to talk all about her mission and why she needs your help. good morning and thanks so much for coming on this dreary friday. >> thank you. >> okay. how do you come up with an idea to, you know, play a soccer game on top of mountain. >> i didn't come um witness i idea. [ laughter ] >> i was just invited it's with through a movement called equal playing feel. >> um-hmm. >> and so there's going to be former and current international players from all over the world and i am joining in on the fun. >> we were talking about this in our meeting yesterday. we were like now okay how do you train for that because you're training for soccer but also training at altitude. >> yup. that's great question because i just learned about this trip three week ago. luckily i, you know, train every day. >> um-hmm. >> but we'll see. i think, um, i joke that i'm attempting to climb this mountain. so -- >> is there anything special you are doing? >> well, they did give us 12 week program that consists of strength training and conditioning it's basically what i already do. but, no, i mean it's just like we are trekking up that mountain slowly but surely, and hope to go at adjust to the altitude as we go. >> your nickname was lightning. you can train quickly for the slow climb we'll just say it will take lot of money and you need help with that. >> correct. how is that going. >> it's going pretty well since i started the gofundme page on sunday evening i think it was, and the cool thing i'm not just raising money for myself to get to the top of the mountain i'm also raising money for the women around the world that don't have the resources to start a gofundme page or, yeah, just the community to support them. >> i'll play devils advocate because i know there's people that are watching this right now they're like, okay, look, women athletes don't make as much. because their sport doesn't make as much money. you know it's -- it's about the revenue and so it's not that it's unfair that they're getting paid less it's just what the market will bare. what's your answer to that? >> my answer if you are looking at the women's national team that's n right. that's why we filed the equal play equal pay. >> that's here in the states. >> correct. if you're doing it worldwide when i looked up members for the world cup the sponsorship this is according to wall street journal the sponsor for the women's world cup was 17 million. the sponsorship for the men's was 529 million. i mean quite frankly it's not always about the money, right? it's about awareness. it's about being allowed to play. the support. and i think for me i've been very fortunate to have the players that came before thus fought for us the next step for us here in the us is to provide support for the other countries, because there's a huge discrimination and you saw that in our last world cup in 2015 in canada of some of the women's teams still wearing hand me downs from the men's national team, right? so it's not all just about financial, um, compensation it's about awareness and about the right to be able to play. >> i'm glad you brought that up it's not all about the money i was also reading when you were talking about fis f specifically, you know, seth bladder the president for 17 years wouldn't could argue he was he can treatmently sexist making this comment "let's get women to play in different more feminine gear than men". >> i think he wanted to us play in bathing suits if possible. >> how do we fight that that obviously is ridiculous. >> fortunately, seth bladder is out now. so i think this is what -- that's why i'm climbing the mountain to bring awareness we have two years before the next world cup and they'll be shooting a documentary during this that will air during the european championships so, um, just continuously creating awareness. having the discussion and -- >> what about the argument of if you're going to be out raped at something won't we be outraged at the lack of support for women's sports, right. >> yeah. >> if you're like women should be paid the same are you out there buying as many women's jerseys, buying as many tickets to go watch women's sports. >> absolutely. i tollly agree. we saw that with the women's hockey last month. us women's hockey it's not even just soccer it's all sp sports. >> it was interesting because i read a lot about this issue, and another thing that someone brought up was that it was back in 1973 when billy jean king finally got them to have equal reward pay for the us open. >> yes. >> you know what she, she said, you know what, if you don't pay us the same i'm not going play. >> um-hmm. >> then they backed down. do you think that that's something that women could do, they could say look we won't play any nor if you aren't going to support us isn't when he caulk about the julie, mia hamm, ba, in 2000 sand they actually did strike, and we made some headway with us soccer then when we were still wearing the hand me downs from the men. so i think it needs to be strategic the right timing and this wasn't the right time for us because we did get a deal done with us soccer in term of equal play equal pay. sometimes that's what it takes, right? you need to go to extreme measures to get he can treatment results. >> like climbing one of the tallest mountains in the world. >> exactly. >> next summer on top of it. thank you for we appreciate it. definitely you can support her on gofundme page. hey, zen us pictures. >> yes. >> right from top the mountain. >> yes. >> back so we can cheer you on. >> thank you. >> sea level. >> thank you. >> back on over to to you guys. >> hard enough to run on that sea level let alone that altitude. good luck. >> phenomenal. >> 9:37 is the time. bryce harper hitting homerun off the field at least when it comes to helping one teen land a date at the prom. >> awesome. harm per filmed video of promposal for the son of former major league star steve garvey. garvey's son tweeted out the video to his girlfriend saying he couldn't ask the words to ask her to prom he called in a little help from the nats star. >> shannon, this is bryce harper. sean is like a little brother to me. he would definitely go to the prom with him. i know it will be a lot of fun. he's great guy. you'll have a blast. definitely go. >> is it possible to say no to that. >> right. >> you can't. right?
