Lo’eau LaBonta Is Leveling Up
Huff Post“We had all female pilots flying over us in fighter jets. That was the moment when I finally let it all sink in and I got absolute chills,” says Kansas City Current midfielder Lo’eau LaBonta on a video call, describing the first game of the season on March 16. “I am just a very small piece of this huge picture, but I felt everything in that moment, and I have never been more proud — not just of myself but of my teammates, of my organization, of this city and the sport.” That season opener also happened to be the Current’s first game at the Canadian Pacific Kansas City arena — the first stadium in the world purpose-built for women’s professional sports. And I want them to reap all the benefits of our hard work.” LaBonta, now 30 and in her 10th year of playing professionally, has been an unwavering advocate for equal pay in the National Women’s Soccer League.
