    Womens Sports Foundation, http://womenssportsfoundation.org
    “I just stepped down as president of the organization, and I log on a lot to keep up on the events, and happenings of the organization, especially with all the Title IX issues of late. They do great, important work for women in sports.”

    Southwest Airlines, http://www.iflyswa.com
    “I am always on Southwest.com because my husband lives in San Jose, where he coaches the CyberRays in the WUSA, and we are always flying back and forth. The other day I walked up to the Southwest counter at the San Diego airport, and the first thing they guy said was, ‘Going to see your husband again, huh?’”

    Kristine Lilly, http://www.kristinelilly13.com
    “This is the new web site of my National Team buddy and the beloved hero of Wilton, Conn., Kristine Lilly. She has played more times for her country than any soccer player in this galaxy, and I like to log on and find out how her dog Scribner is doing, whom she writes about in almost every journal. It’s a great web site for soccer fans and has lots of photos.”

    CNN.com, http://www.cnn.com
    “I love the news, so if I can’t read a paper cover to cover, which I rarely have time to do, I go on CNN.com and read the top stories. It helps me get my current events fix.”
