The US Soccer Annual General Meeting had a decidedly lower-key lead up than past events. US Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone ran unopposed and will have a one year term that will finish out the one Carlos Cordero was elected to in 2018. Compared to his election, there was far less excitement around who would serve as the leader of the organization. However, the event was not without controversy as Seth Jahn, an American Para 7-A-Side player, made a lengthy racist speech during the meeting.
After the speech, US Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone took questions from the press in which she noted that “hearing all sides” on the issue was important and needed to clarify several times what she meant by that.
