Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Carli Lloyd, co-captain of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team, is fighting for equal pay in the world of professional soccer. “I feel like we’re treated like second-class citizens because they don’t care about us as much as the men,” says Lloyd on 60 Minutes. Lloyd addresses many other obstacles in her career in her New York Times bestseller memoir When Nobody Was Watching: My Hard-Fought Journey to the Top of the Soccer World. The first sentence in the prologue of her memoir is “I don’t do fake.”
Lloyd’s interview with 60 Minutes will air Sunday, November 20 at 7:30pm on CBS.
