Tickets are $20 a pop, and the games, at Laney College, are easy to get to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The games also \u003cem>feel\u003c/em> like Oakland. The crowd is diverse, local food trucks hawk tacos and Indian curries, and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kalw.org/show/crosscurrents/2020-09-29/oaklands-soccer-team-celebrates-the-sounds-of-the-town\">game DJs always mix classic Bay Area anthems into the soundtrack of the match\u003c/a>. There are always rowdy groups of fans with left-wing political messages, waving red-and-black flags and lighting the occasional smoke bomb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team also makes a point of celebrating the local community. At a recent game, the middle school and high school champions of this year’s Oakland Athletic League soccer playoffs were invited onto the field before kickoff and showered with applause from the crowd.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Lindsay Barenz, president, Oakland Roots Sports Club\"]‘It finally became apparent to the owners of capital that [women’s soccer] was a worthwhile investment, not [just] an opportunity to make a contribution to the social good.’[/pullquote]Now, as a number of high-profile professional sports teams have recently left Oakland (\u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2021/05/11/oakland-as-once-again-threatening-to-leave-oakland-as-new-stadium/\">or are threatening to do so\u003c/a>), the Roots club is expanding, and — like\u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2021/06/14/an-oakland-wnba-team-its-in-one-groups-plans-for-the-coliseum-site/\"> the group organizing to bring a WNBA team to the Oakland Arena\u003c/a> — it’s placing its money on a women’s team. The club recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandsoulsc.com/news/2022/05/12/roots-announce-oakland-soul/\">announced the launch of Oakland Soul\u003c/a>, a women’s amateur summer soccer team that’s slated to begin playing at Merritt College in the Oakland hills in the spring of 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent Roots game, members of Edna Brewer Middle School’s girls’ soccer team, who were being honored for winning the Oakland Athletic League championship, were thrilled to hear the news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For real?! No way. Oh my god! There’s really going to be one?!” shouted 11-year-old goalie Rachel Sanchez, as she sat with her teammates in the bleachers, watching the Roots’ offense move the ball up the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has a really awesome connection to Roots,” said Jenna Lamb, Oakland Soul’s business development director, on the new team’s name. “They’re both intangible, things that you can’t see. And obviously, Oakland has an incredible amount of soul in the culture, the arts and the people here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Build the pipeline’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The team is now beginning the process of recruiting and selecting players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A good chunk of the roster will come from universities,” Lamb said, noting that the team’s preprofessional, amateur status means it will focus on developing the skills of advanced college players. According to the club, the team will have between 24 and 30 players on the roster, who will come from a combination of open tryouts and recruitment. University players will include locals who play for colleges outside the state and out-of-state residents who attend local colleges. “We’re really lucky that, in the Bay Area, there are so many incredible top-tier universities in women’s soccer super close,” Lamb said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that also means players on the team won’t receive any compensation. That’s typical for amateur teams, but for some fans of the Oakland Roots, whose players are compensated, having an unpaid women’s team is a point of contention — particularly in the wake of the recent high-profile fight waged by the USA women’s soccer team \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/explain/2022/02/25/sports/uswnt-soccer-equal-pay?name=styln-uswnt-equal-pay®ion=TOP_BANNER&block=storyline_menu_recirc&action=click&pgtype=Article&variant=show&is_new=false\">for pay equity\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think that’s a message that we want to send to our young athletes,” said Reanna Couts, head coach of the Edna Brewer girls’ team. “We want to send the message that they are just as important, just as talented, and deserve the same compensation as men.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11915099\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1170px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11915099\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004.jpeg\" alt=\"A girls' soccer team celebrates on the field.\" width=\"1170\" height=\"767\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004.jpeg 1170w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004-800x524.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004-1020x669.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004-160x105.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Edna Brewer Middle School girls’ soccer team celebrates after winning this year’s Oakland Athletic League championship on March 12, 2022. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Reanna Couts)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lamb, however, points out that players on Project 510, the men’s preprofessional team — Oakland Soul’s counterpart — are also unpaid. The decision to not yet create a professional women’s team in Oakland, she adds, boils down to the lack of available facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think as anybody in the Bay Area is aware, land is hard to come by,” she said, noting that only two fields in Oakland — the Oakland Coliseum and the field at Laney College — meet professional soccer standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Coliseum would be far too expensive, Lamb says, and the Laney field doesn’t have the capacity to host another professional team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be sacrificing the quality of both teams to try and squeeze another professional organization in there,” she said. “There just isn’t room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lamb says that with a few changes, like more bleacher seating and lights, Merritt College’s field could be developed to meet professional standards, assuming the college was on board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, she says, the club didn’t want resource limitations to keep female players off the field. “Starting a development team now allows us to get into the community and allows us to build the pipeline,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Business and activism\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Oakland Roots club president Lindsay Barenz, who took the helm in January, is hopeful Oakland Soul could someday go pro if enough people show up to games and make it worth the investment to build a new facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Roots club was founded in 2018 with the “purpose of using soccer to create positive social change,” Barenz said, noting that adding a women’s team has long been a goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women’s soccer, she says, has taken off in the U.S. ever since the national women’s team won the World Cup in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It finally became apparent to the owners of capital that [women’s soccer] was a worthwhile investment — not [just] an opportunity to make a contribution to the social good,” said Barenz, “but an opportunity to make money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, she says, there are more opportunities than ever before to build new professional women’s soccer teams.

The club recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandsoulsc.com/news/2022/05/12/roots-announce-oakland-soul/\">announced the launch of Oakland Soul\u003c/a>, a women’s amateur summer soccer team that’s slated to begin playing at Merritt College in the Oakland hills in the spring of 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent Roots game, members of Edna Brewer Middle School’s girls’ soccer team, who were being honored for winning the Oakland Athletic League championship, were thrilled to hear the news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For real?! No way. Oh my god! There’s really going to be one?!” shouted 11-year-old goalie Rachel Sanchez, as she sat with her teammates in the bleachers, watching the Roots’ offense move the ball up the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has a really awesome connection to Roots,” said Jenna Lamb, Oakland Soul’s business development director, on the new team’s name. “They’re both intangible, things that you can’t see. And obviously, Oakland has an incredible amount of soul in the culture, the arts and the people here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Build the pipeline’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The team is now beginning the process of recruiting and selecting players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A good chunk of the roster will come from universities,” Lamb said, noting that the team’s preprofessional, amateur status means it will focus on developing the skills of advanced college players. According to the club, the team will have between 24 and 30 players on the roster, who will come from a combination of open tryouts and recruitment. University players will include locals who play for colleges outside the state and out-of-state residents who attend local colleges. “We’re really lucky that, in the Bay Area, there are so many incredible top-tier universities in women’s soccer super close,” Lamb said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that also means players on the team won’t receive any compensation. That’s typical for amateur teams, but for some fans of the Oakland Roots, whose players are compensated, having an unpaid women’s team is a point of contention — particularly in the wake of the recent high-profile fight waged by the USA women’s soccer team \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/explain/2022/02/25/sports/uswnt-soccer-equal-pay?name=styln-uswnt-equal-pay®ion=TOP_BANNER&block=storyline_menu_recirc&action=click&pgtype=Article&variant=show&is_new=false\">for pay equity\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think that’s a message that we want to send to our young athletes,” said Reanna Couts, head coach of the Edna Brewer girls’ team. “We want to send the message that they are just as important, just as talented, and deserve the same compensation as men.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11915099\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1170px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11915099\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004.jpeg\" alt=\"A girls' soccer team celebrates on the field.\" width=\"1170\" height=\"767\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004.jpeg 1170w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004-800x524.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004-1020x669.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/Screensho001002003004-160x105.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Edna Brewer Middle School girls’ soccer team celebrates after winning this year’s Oakland Athletic League championship on March 12, 2022. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Reanna Couts)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lamb, however, points out that players on Project 510, the men’s preprofessional team — Oakland Soul’s counterpart — are also unpaid. The decision to not yet create a professional women’s team in Oakland, she adds, boils down to the lack of available facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think as anybody in the Bay Area is aware, land is hard to come by,” she said, noting that only two fields in Oakland — the Oakland Coliseum and the field at Laney College — meet professional soccer standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Coliseum would be far too expensive, Lamb says, and the Laney field doesn’t have the capacity to host another professional team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be sacrificing the quality of both teams to try and squeeze another professional organization in there,” she said. “There just isn’t room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lamb says that with a few changes, like more bleacher seating and lights, Merritt College’s field could be developed to meet professional standards, assuming the college was on board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, she says, the club didn’t want resource limitations to keep female players off the field. “Starting a development team now allows us to get into the community and allows us to build the pipeline,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Business and activism\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Oakland Roots club president Lindsay Barenz, who took the helm in January, is hopeful Oakland Soul could someday go pro if enough people show up to games and make it worth the investment to build a new facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Roots club was founded in 2018 with the “purpose of using soccer to create positive social change,” Barenz said, noting that adding a women’s team has long been a goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women’s soccer, she says, has taken off in the U.S. ever since the national women’s team won the World Cup in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It finally became apparent to the owners of capital that [women’s soccer] was a worthwhile investment — not [just] an opportunity to make a contribution to the social good,” said Barenz, “but an opportunity to make money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, she says, there are more opportunities than ever before to build new professional women’s soccer teams. But even so, both Barenz and Lamb say they want to be careful how they proceed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s this very storied history of women’s teams, women’s leagues in the United States collapsing because of growing too quickly or mismanagement,” said Lamb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has played out here in the Bay Area.

"content": "\u003cp>Camille Mahlknecht knew she wanted to play professional basketball since she was 8 years old. In 2011, the 6-foot-2 center won a full scholarship to California State University, Northridge (CSUN), where her team won two Big West Conference championships and advanced to the first round of the NCAA championship tournament — twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was by all accounts a successful career. Yet the opportunities to play for a professional team after college, when compared to her male peers, were slim. “It’s honestly not even comparable,” she said. There are 10 WNBA teams in the U.S., while the NBA fields 30 teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now a new law, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB206\">SB 206\u003c/a>, could change the landscape for female student-athletes like Mahlknecht by expanding opportunities at the college level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the “Fair Pay to Play Act” on Monday, he made California the first state in the country to allow collegiate athletes to earn money from endorsements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This opens up opportunities for athletes to make money from social media ads, sponsorship deals and the use of their image in video games.

"content": "\u003cp>Women surfers scored a big win in California last year when an obscure government commission decided it would only lease a public beach to the Mavericks global surf competition if men and women were awarded the same amount of prize money. Experts said the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-forcing-equal-pay-female-surfers-precedent/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">precedent\u003c/a> could compel equal pay at marathons, bike races, skateboard contests — any athletic events on public land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lawmaker put the idea into \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB467\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a bill\u003c/a> that, if approved, would require equal prize money for men and women at any sporting event on state-owned property. It all seemed to be good news in the long fight for gender equality for women athletes, whose male peers have long been paid far more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now a push to go further is opening a broader debate over how to advance equality for women in male-dominated sports — and whether all-female competitions should be open to men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguing that the bill inspired by their victory doesn’t go far enough, some of the same women who fought for equal prize money at the Mavericks surfing competition want the bill also to require that all sporting events on public land include categories for both men and women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Long term, that will be best for women athletes and encourage girls to stick with the sport and become pro athletes and get the money they need to do that,” said Sabrina Brennan, co-founder of the Committee for Equity in Women’s Surfing, the group that pressured state regulators first into including women at the Mavericks surf challenge and then into requiring equal prize money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group advocates for separate divisions for men and women, not co-ed competitions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, including both genders at all sporting events on public land would not only mean adding women’s divisions to all-male competitions. It also would do away with all-female sporting events that were created to provide unique opportunities for women and girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11735059\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/Photo-2-800x925.jpg\" alt=\"Allysha Le competes at Exposure Skate, a women’s skateboarding contest in Encinitas.\" width=\"800\" height=\"925\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11735059\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/Photo-2-800x925.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/Photo-2-160x185.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/Photo-2.jpg 891w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Allysha Le competes at Exposure Skate, a women’s skateboarding contest in Encinitas. \u003ccite>(Lauren Muller/Exposure Skate)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That threat is raising a debate between those, like Brennan, who argue that single-sex athletic events perpetuate inequality, and others who say they empower women in sports dominated by men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our event makes it a safe space for women and girls to participate,” said Amelia Brodka, co-founder of Exposure Skate, which puts on an all-female skateboarding competition at a public park in Encinitas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brodka said she started the event after several skateboarding contests canceled their women’s divisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It creates something that is needed to build these girls and women up,” she said. “The men have a million events they can participate in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Encinitas Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner Horvath wants to preserve events like that, which is why she’s resisting pressure to expand her bill focused on prize money to also require inclusion of both genders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My strong feeling is that when we compensate women equally, that will translate into greater equality and inclusion across the board. We don’t have to legislate inclusion at this point,” said Boerner Horvath, a Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we see in a few years that women are shut out of large events then we will address that. We will be tracking to make sure we have the maximum amount of gender equality and equity on our public lands,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco surfer Bianca Valenti acknowledged the camaraderie of all-female events but said requiring inclusion of both genders is the only way to give women more opportunities to compete. She pointed to an all-men’s \u003ca href=\"https://jackssurfboards.com/blogs/news/jacks-surfboards-pro\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">surf competition\u003c/a> this month in Huntington Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the number of events available to boys and men there are many more than are available to women,” she said. “If you want to preserve those women-only events you would be losing out on being able to participate in so many more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brennan, a San Mateo harbor commissioner whose advocacy for women surfers has earned her \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/07/magazine/women-surf-big-wave.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">national attention\u003c/a>, now finds herself arguing that men should be included at events that have long been exclusively for women, such as a \u003ca href=\"https://supergirlpro.com/supergirl-action-sports/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">surf contest\u003c/a> in Oceanside that launched 12 years ago to showcase women in action sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a Civil Rights Act for a reason and it’s important that we enforce it however that works out. Sometimes it doesn’t work out to your group’s advantage and that’s just part of the deal,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For society overall I see it as the best thing for the collective good of all.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Experts said the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-forcing-equal-pay-female-surfers-precedent/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">precedent\u003c/a> could compel equal pay at marathons, bike races, skateboard contests — any athletic events on public land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lawmaker put the idea into \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB467\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a bill\u003c/a> that, if approved, would require equal prize money for men and women at any sporting event on state-owned property. It all seemed to be good news in the long fight for gender equality for women athletes, whose male peers have long been paid far more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now a push to go further is opening a broader debate over how to advance equality for women in male-dominated sports — and whether all-female competitions should be open to men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguing that the bill inspired by their victory doesn’t go far enough, some of the same women who fought for equal prize money at the Mavericks surfing competition want the bill also to require that all sporting events on public land include categories for both men and women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Long term, that will be best for women athletes and encourage girls to stick with the sport and become pro athletes and get the money they need to do that,” said Sabrina Brennan, co-founder of the Committee for Equity in Women’s Surfing, the group that pressured state regulators first into including women at the Mavericks surf challenge and then into requiring equal prize money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We don’t have to legislate inclusion at this point,” said Boerner Horvath, a Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we see in a few years that women are shut out of large events then we will address that. We will be tracking to make sure we have the maximum amount of gender equality and equity on our public lands,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco surfer Bianca Valenti acknowledged the camaraderie of all-female events but said requiring inclusion of both genders is the only way to give women more opportunities to compete. She pointed to an all-men’s \u003ca href=\"https://jackssurfboards.com/blogs/news/jacks-surfboards-pro\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">surf competition\u003c/a> this month in Huntington Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the number of events available to boys and men there are many more than are available to women,” she said. “If you want to preserve those women-only events you would be losing out on being able to participate in so many more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brennan, a San Mateo harbor commissioner whose advocacy for women surfers has earned her \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/07/magazine/women-surf-big-wave.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">national attention\u003c/a>, now finds herself arguing that men should be included at events that have long been exclusively for women, such as a \u003ca href=\"https://supergirlpro.com/supergirl-action-sports/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">surf contest\u003c/a> in Oceanside that launched 12 years ago to showcase women in action sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a Civil Rights Act for a reason and it’s important that we enforce it however that works out. Sometimes it doesn’t work out to your group’s advantage and that’s just part of the deal,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For society overall I see it as the best thing for the collective good of all.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
