--- (The term "Four times" here refers to Team USA's two wins in the FIFA Women's World Cup and two gold medals in the Olympics. Because the Olympic tournament in women's football (soccer) is conducted between full national sides, unlike the age-restricted men's tournament, the Olympics are a de facto world championship for women's teams).

Title IX and soccer
"Gracie takes place in New Jersey in 1978 before Title IX (which was passed in 1972) had a chance to take effect [1] and when women's soccer did not exist in the States." This is false. "The first college varsity team in the United States was established at Castleton State College in Castleton VT in the mid 1960s. Until that time college soccer consisted of intramural and phys ed class activity. Around this time, soccer also enjoyed increasing popularity in high schools..." (http://www.sover.net/~spectrum/womensoverview.html). ". In 1976, barely 10,000 girls played in high school..." (Ib.). " Between 1972 and 1978 U.S. high schools rapidly increased their female athletic participation rates (to approximately the same level as their male athletic participation rates) in order to comply with Title IX" (B. Stevenson, 2006, "Beyond the Classroom: Using Title IX to Measure the Return to High School Sports", SSRN, http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=896331).

"newly passed"
"Citing the newly passed Title IX," - Six years previous is not "newly passed" in this context. Kdammers (talk) 05:35, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

deaf ears
"Despite the fact that her arguments fall on deaf ears, Gracie continues to demand that her interest in soccer be taken seriously." - Misleading: The hearing was split, with the chairwoman (head of the school board?) casting the deciding vote in favor of letting Gracie try out for the boy's soccer team.
