Kinder talks about the early days of women’s soccer and the Sting team he founded and coached in Richardson back in 1973. In 1984, the Sting soccer club was selected and traveled to China to represent the U.S. in the first FIFA-sanctioned world soccer championship for women and won the international tourney. From those meager beginnings the sport blossomed into the international sensation it is today. (DMN video/editing: Tom Fox)

If it sounds too good to be true…
DALLAS STING IS A FRAUD: It is very important to KNOW that in the early 1980's women DID NOT HAVE sports teams. It is hard to comprehend that today in 2022. Women in the early 1980's were all ask ripe victims JUST BECASUE THET ARE AMERICANS, and were poor, poor, poor and must suck and swallow whole just to be allowed to eat dinner every night—-by which ALL the successful ones were bonafide ANOREXIC, JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!! Not true for the American boys teams
Allegations of racism.
And now to be the subject on the Big Screen…"Dallas Sting" where Kinder will be played by Matthew McConaughey. Announced in 2022. Though I did not play on the Sting, I was involved for about 10 years as my dad was one of the coaches and I was lucky enough to watch hundreds of Sting games. Kinder is/was a class act, so were all of the girls on the teams.
