US Women's National Soccer Team on the bench for lack of diversity

I am putting the US Women's National Soccer Team on the bench for its embarrassing display of lack of diversity in U.S. Women's Soccer. I thought from all the previews and discussion about this historic team that they looked like a Swedish team. It also only highlighted 4 or 5 of the "stars" of the team and despite having a prominent black player, Sydney Leroux (#2) who scored the game-winning goal, I saw no interviews of Ms. Leroux. I also did not see Ms. Leroux on the stage with Taylor Swift after the tam’s win. The focus only seemed to be on the white players.
