Crystal Dunn is rapidly approaching GOAT status, if she’s not already there. But as much as she has given to the sport of soccer, the sport hasn’t always given as much back to her. She and Brianna Pinto, herself on the verge of breaking into the senior USWNT, had an honest conversation about the ways they’ve navigated the world of soccer while being Black women. Dunn in particular really laid out all the ways she’s been challenged by soccer’s whiteness, from feeling alone to not being represented to being scared to speak up for herself. She also talks about the actions she wants to take in working to support Black players after the Challenge Cup is over.
