Deaf Women Soccer on TV; Deaf Ninja to be on TV
Here are two Deaf News briefs.
The first - here is a reminder that the U.S. Women’s Deaf National Team will be on national television tomorrow afternoon when they play against Australia — the Deaf Football Australia National Women’s Team. It will be at 2 p.m. ET on truTV, Max, Telemundo App, and YouTube. The game is in the Denver area.
Our reporter Renca Dunn did a detailed report about this historic event. If you missed it, the link is in the transcript.
CBS Sports reported that there will be “ASL interpreters communicating during the match, while the national anthems of both the U.S. and Australia will also be signed before the game.” The players will walk onto the pitch with mascots from the nearby Rocky Mountain Deaf School. Deaf U.S. Soccer referee Andrew Kirst will be officiating the match.
Good luck to the U.S. and to Australia as well.

The second is that Kyle Schulze, who is known as “The Deaf Ninja,” will be on NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior” in its Season 16 premiere on Monday, June 3 at 8-10 p.m. ET.
There is a preview clip that is available on YouTube. It shows that he finally achieved something that he hasn’t in his previous competitions — scoring the buzzer at the end of the obstacle course. He’s competed for eight years. The clip shows that it was a very inspirational moment. You can check out the clip or wait until Monday night to watch it on NBC. Good luck, Deaf Ninja!
That’s the two Deaf News briefs for today.
