In a historic event, President Joe Biden welcomed the NJ/NY Gotham FC, the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) champions, to the White House. During the ceremony, Biden emphasized the importance of women in sports and leadership, declaring, 'a woman can do anything a man can do,' including being president. The president also acknowledged that his staff often limits his actions, quipping, 'My staff says no… but I'm going to do it anyway' before inviting young girls on stage at the celebration. This marks the first time an NWSL team has been honored with a visit to the White House, highlighting the growing recognition of women's sports in the United States.
