For Americans Sunday night was a big deal. We are proud of the United States Women’s Soccer team and their winning the World Cup – proud to be Americans. It’s good to win right? And from a photography/image point of view it was a field day. From Carli Lloyd’s “Hat Trick” on, it was a visual feast.  There is a big movement in the US to put a woman on a significant piece of currency.  Here’s one suggestion that I found on the web.  So congratulations to our Women’s Team. They are simply amazing!  They make us proud – not that they are going to earn what men earrn, but just saying “proud”. It also made me proud to see Amy Wambach kissing her wife after the victory, now officially her wife in all fifty states. That makes me proud of my country! Things kept getting better and better until the awards ceremony, when a bevy of beautiful women in sleek black dresses, revealing décolletage and high heels paraded out as official medal bearers. Now there’s a mixed message, if I ever saw one. What was FIFA thinking? Same old same old, I’m afraid.
