Skydance Halts ‘Dallas Sting’ Pic Six Weeks From Production Start; Matthew McConaughey Drops Out Following Investigation Into Impropriety Allegations On Girls Soccer Tale

In 1984, President Reagan made a concerted effort to open relations with China.

There was only one problem – there was no U.S. Women’s Soccer Team. A nationwide search led officials to a 19-and-under league of Dallas high school girls who called themselves The Sting, after the recent Robert Redford-Paul Newman hit movie.
In order to form the team nearly 40 years ago, Kinder had to get a note from a gynecologist asserting that playing soccer would not harm a woman’s reproductive organs. Texas parents who envisioned their daughters waving pom-poms at halftime soon became the cheerleaders for this eclectic mix of girls drilled to precision by a Lombardi-like coach, and became a local powerhouse.
