Lawyers for a group of female soccer players who have filed a legal challenge over having to play the Womens World Cup on artificial turf instead of grass have provided the Canadian Soccer Association with a proposal to settle their discrimination case. Authentic Antoine Roussel Jersey . Last week, the players filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, charging that they were victims of gender discrimination, since the Mens World Cup is always played on natural grass. The complainants include Abby Wambach of the U.S. and Germanys Nadine Angerer, FIFA Players of the Year for 2012 and 2013, respectively. The women contend that playing on artificial turf more frequently leads to injury. In the 10-page proposal, which was obtained by TSN, lawyers for the players outline several possible solutions to the impasse. One would be to install temporary grass fields, covering the artificial turf with custom trays, filling those trays with sand and laying grass on top. That would allow grass to take root and let water drain, the proposal says. Several companies and experts have offered to discount their time and materials to make a solution as inexpensive as possible, the proposal says. Businesses and individuals could step up to defray costs through charitable donations. And, of course, the Canadian Soccer Association and FIFA clearly have the financial wherewithal to fund this solution. Some professional football leagues, including Major League Soccer and some FIFA World Cup matches, are played on artificial turf. Canada won the right to host the 2015 Games when the only other finalist, Zimbabwe, withdrew from consideration. Its unclear whether sponsors would be willing to help cover the cost. In a statement released to TSN late Wednesday, a spokesperson with Amway, a Canadian Soccer Association sponsor, said, We do not have any input and/or opinion on this matter. The modular tray system was used at the 1994 Mens World Cup and at the 1999 Womens World Cup, the proposal says, noting that the trays with a sand base and rooted-in grass can be produced within a few months. In the week since players initiated legal action against the Canadian Soccer Association and FIFA, the hosts of the 2015 World Cup have lawyered up and done everything possible to slow down a court ruling on whether forcing elite female athletes to compete on game-changing, dangerous, and demeaning artificial turf fields at their sports preeminent tournament constitutes sex discrimination, Hampton Dellinger, a lawyer for the players, said in a statement. Dellingers proposal suggests Canadian soccer and FIFA officials consult with Graff Farms, a Colorado company that owns the distribution rights to XtraGrass, a natural grass system it says is in use throughout Europe and northern climates. XtraGrass could be used for high traffic portions of the field, or for the entire field. It does not alter playability, look or feel, the proposal says, noting the grass is typically seeded in spring, so there would be enough time to grow the in-tray grass before the World Cup games next June. The proposal also says two Canadian sod farms - Eagle Lake Turf Farm in Calgary, and Zander Farms in Ontario - could produce enough grass for all six World Cup sites. Installing the temporary grass fields would cost between $300,000 and $500,000 per field, the proposal says. By dealing with Canadian farms, there would be no customs issues, the proposal says. Dellinger and his colleagues said they had consulted with the sod farms, as well as professors of turf grass science at Michigan State University and the University of Tennessee.

Logan Morrison drove in two runs in Seattles big sixth inning, Young pitched seven strong innings and the Mariners beat the Houston Astros 5-2 to complete a three-game sweep.HOUSTON - The Cleveland Indians relied on their pitching again, and their offence came alive just in time to beat the Houston Astros. Mike Aviles sacrifice fly in the 13th inning scored Jose Ramirez and gave the Indians a 2-1 win on Thursday night. Ramirez doubled with one out before Samuel Deduno (2-6) walked Michael Brantley and Carlos Santana to set up Aviles fly to right. Jake Marisnicks throw to the plate was offline, and Ramirez scored easily. "When I first hit it, I was like, Man, that would be my luck because I know Jake has a really good arm," Aviles said. "The first thing I thought was (Ramirez) would get thrown out. When I saw the throw, I thought we got this run, so we needed to hang on." Kyle Crockett (4-0) got the Indians out of trouble in the 12th, and Cody Allen pitched the 13th for his 22nd save. "I think we say every day that we need to be one run better," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "Were sort of taking that to the extreme, but we won. And when you win a game like that, it doesnt matter how hard it was when its over." With the win, the Indians stayed within striking distance in the AL playoff chase with 10 games left. Cleveland is 5 games out in the AL Central race and four games off the pace in the chase for two wild card spots. "The one thing we have to worry about is ourselves," Aviles said. "We have to come out and play every game and try to win every game. Whatever happens, happens. We are at a point where we kind of dug ourselves a hole with how we played earlier in the year. "When you think about it, you have to go out there and try to win every game." Santana tied it 1-1 in the ninth, driving in Ramirez with an RBI single to right off Chad Qualls. He got the final two outs of the inning to escape without further damage. Clevelands pitching was superb in the four-game series against the Astros, allowing only six runs. "Whatever it takes to win is what we have to try to do," Francona said. Authentic Jacob Markstrom Jersey. . Marisnick had an RBI single in the fourth to put Houston in front 1-0. "That stings," Marisnick said of the loss. "For our pitchers to go out and pitch like they did and not give them some run support and get out of there with a win, it definitely stings a little bit." Astros starter Scott Feldman allowed one run and four hits with two strikeouts as he pitched into the ninth inning for the third time in four starts. Feldman retired 15 straight batters before Lonnie Chisenhalls two-out single in the eighth. "He went out there and shut them down for eight innings," Astros interim manager Tom Lawless said of Feldman.
