As promised, the Canadian women's soccer team returned to training Sunday in Florida. But they did so under protest after Canada Soccer threatened legal action if they continued their job action. "We are being forced back to work for the next few weeks." midfielder Quinn, who goes by one name, said on social media. "While stepping on a field continuing to provide labour for an organization that upholds gender inequality goes against every fibre of my being, I will continue to do so [for now] in protest." Added captain Christine Sinclair: "To be clear.

We are being forced back to work for the short term. This is not over. We will continue to fight for everything we deserve and we will win.

The She Believes [Cup] is being played in protest." To be clear. We are being forced back to work for the short term. This is not over.

We will continue to fight for everything we deserve and we will win. The She Believes is being played in protest. <a href="https://t.co/1CmXU3CiYp">https://t.co/1CmXU3CiYp</a> The sixth-ranked Canadian women are scheduled to open the four-country tournament on Thursday against the top-ranked U.S.
