As a 12-year-old girl, I must express my anger towards Tuesday night's lack of television coverage of the Women's Olympic Soccer Qualifying: USA vs Mexico.

This CONCACAF tournament decides who goes to the 2012 Summer Olympics, unlike the regular season hockey game showing in its place.

I am upset by the decision to televise hockey and I find it very sexist as well.

These soccer matches bring joy, spirit and motivation to young girls to become better players following the likes of Christine Sinclair or Sophie Schmidt.

Soccer is the number one sport worldwide, and local soccer players young and old missed a rare opportunity.
