Shannon Boxx and Clint Dempsey were among the former U.S. Soccer players who praised the new equal pay agreement during their induction in the National Soccer Hall of Fame on Saturday.
“Anything is possible, because if you look at where I came from, I wasn't supposed to make it and through the craziness my parents were able to fight against the odds,” Dempsey said.
Rampone, a defender, won three Olympic gold medals and two World Cup titles in a career that spanned three decades. She was originally voted into the Hall of Fame last year but put off her induction until this season in reaction to a string of scandals in the NWSL. Hamilton, elected from the veteran ballot, was part of the U.S. championship team at the 1991 Women’s World Cup and made 71 international appearances from 1987-95.
