Lawyers for a group of female soccer players who have filed a legal challenge over having to play the Womens World Cup on artificial turf instead of grass have provided the Canadian Soccer Association with a proposal to settle their discrimination case. John Brooks USA Jersey . Last week, the players filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, charging that they were victims of gender discrimination, since the Mens World Cup is always played on natural grass. The complainants include Abby Wambach of the U.S. and Germanys Nadine Angerer, FIFA Players of the Year for 2012 and 2013, respectively. The women contend that playing on artificial turf more frequently leads to injury. In the 10-page proposal, which was obtained by TSN, lawyers for the players outline several possible solutions to the impasse. One would be to install temporary grass fields, covering the artificial turf with custom trays, filling those trays with sand and laying grass on top. That would allow grass to take root and let water drain, the proposal says. Several companies and experts have offered to discount their time and materials to make a solution as inexpensive as possible, the proposal says. Businesses and individuals could step up to defray costs through charitable donations. And, of course, the Canadian Soccer Association and FIFA clearly have the financial wherewithal to fund this solution. Some professional football leagues, including Major League Soccer and some FIFA World Cup matches, are played on artificial turf. Canada won the right to host the 2015 Games when the only other finalist, Zimbabwe, withdrew from consideration. Its unclear whether sponsors would be willing to help cover the cost. In a statement released to TSN late Wednesday, a spokesperson with Amway, a Canadian Soccer Association sponsor, said, We do not have any input and/or opinion on this matter. The modular tray system was used at the 1994 Mens World Cup and at the 1999 Womens World Cup, the proposal says, noting that the trays with a sand base and rooted-in grass can be produced within a few months. In the week since players initiated legal action against the Canadian Soccer Association and FIFA, the hosts of the 2015 World Cup have lawyered up and done everything possible to slow down a court ruling on whether forcing elite female athletes to compete on game-changing, dangerous, and demeaning artificial turf fields at their sports preeminent tournament constitutes sex discrimination, Hampton Dellinger, a lawyer for the players, said in a statement. Dellingers proposal suggests Canadian soccer and FIFA officials consult with Graff Farms, a Colorado company that owns the distribution rights to XtraGrass, a natural grass system it says is in use throughout Europe and northern climates. XtraGrass could be used for high traffic portions of the field, or for the entire field. It does not alter playability, look or feel, the proposal says, noting the grass is typically seeded in spring, so there would be enough time to grow the in-tray grass before the World Cup games next June. The proposal also says two Canadian sod farms - Eagle Lake Turf Farm in Calgary, and Zander Farms in Ontario - could produce enough grass for all six World Cup sites. Installing the temporary grass fields would cost between $300,000 and $500,000 per field, the proposal says. By dealing with Canadian farms, there would be no customs issues, the proposal says. Dellinger and his colleagues said they had consulted with the sod farms, as well as professors of turf grass science at Michigan State University and the University of Tennessee.

"I cant say much, we agreed not to say much, but talks are ongoing and Andrei wants to stay in Montreal," agent and former NHL player Sergei Berezin told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun on ESPN.com on Friday. "Well see where it goes. Hes played 13 seasons with Montreal. He wants to finish his career in Montreal." Earlier this week, TSN Radio 690s Tony Marinaro reported that the Canadiens offered Markov - an unresticted free agent in July - a one-year $6 million contract while TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie added that the team might be flexibble on a one or two-year deal. USA Soccer Jersey. Markov, in the final season of the three-year, $17.25 million deal he signed in 2011, recently hired Berezin after parting ways with agent Don Meehan of Newport Sports. Berezin has temporary certification from the NHL Players Association as an agent while the union reviews his application as to whether he can become a full-time agent. "Weve been long friends for 15 years if not longer, we grew up in the same city in Russia," Berezin said. "Hes like family to me, I train him in the summer." Markov has five goals and 33 points in 61 games with the Canadiens this season is a plus-9. In 745 career NHL games, Markov has 96 goals and 432 points. Hes spent his entire NHL career in Montreal after being drafted 162nd overall by the Canadiens in 1998.
