The United States women's national soccer team made headlines two weeks ago when it refused to play a match in Hawaii because of the poor condition of the artificial turf playing surface. The incident was the latest to draw attention to inequality in the sport, after playing surface and equal pay issues arose before and after this summer's Women's World Cup, which the U.S. team won.

On this week's episode of "The Second Half" podcast, star midfielder Carli Lloyd joins Huffington Post sports reporter Travis Waldron and former NFL wide receiver Dont Stallworth to talk about the decision to boycott the match, and the fight for equal treatment for women's soccer players not just in the U.S. but around the world (the interview starts at 16:25).

Enoughs enough," Lloyd said. "Weve been playing on subpar fields, in subpar locker room conditions. Its time to kind of get a protocol in place."

She continued: "Were world champions. What we say and what we do really speaks volumes to the entire world. Its important for us to fight for what we believe is right, because then it gives other teams and other countries the confidence to maybe do the same. If were doing it, it allows them to think about it as well."
