The Equalizer launched in July 2009 with the vision of giving women\u2019s soccer the coverage it deserves. Within a year, the site turned into the top source for Women\u2019s Professional Soccer news.<\/p>\n
A decade and a half later, The Equalizer remains the leading, independent voice of authority covering the National Women’s Soccer League, the four-time World Cup champion and four-time Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. women’s national team.<\/p>\n
The Equalizer was founded by Jeff Kassouf, whose experience ranges from a Sports Emmy-winning role with NBC Olympics, to NBC Sports’ daily operations, the first U.S. editor of FourFourTwo, and his current role as ESPN’s lead writer for the NWSL and USWNT.<\/p>\n
The Equalizer has long been home to the best up-and-coming voices shaping the future of women’s soccer. Our writers frequently go on to write for major publications, including the New York Times, CBS, and Sports Illustrated.<\/p>\n
To date, EQZ remains among the only living archives of many events that occurred in WPS and the early years of the NWSL.<\/p>\n
