HBO’s newest documentary LFG, or Let’s (Expletive) Go, follows the U.S. women’s soccer team as they fight the battle for equal pay.
The story follows the journey of some players who, months before the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, filed a class-action gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation for lack of monetary equality with the men’s team.
LFG tells the narrative through the lens of soccer players Megan Rapinoe, Jessica McDonald, Becky Sauerbrunn, Kelly O’Hara, Sam Mewis and more.
A 2021 selection of the Tribeca Film Festival, LFG weaves together heartfelt interviews, stunning athletic performances and clips from the players’ ongoing pursuit of equal pay.
Stream the documentary on HBO Max this weekend.

It’s National Ice Cream Cake Day on Sunday. Here’s a couple options in central Ohio which offer cold cake-y delight.
Johnson’s carries nine-inch ice cream cakes as well as ice cream pies in flavors such as turtle, vanilla, Oreo and mud.
Graeter’s delicious ice cream cakes are actual baked caked with one pound of ice cream layered in the middle. Its pies are made with chocolate graham cookie crust and filled with two pounds of ice cream. Either way, you can’t go wrong.
