New York is putting on a ticker tape parade for the World Cup-winning United States women's soccer team. It will wrap up with a ceremony at City Hall hosted by Mayor Bill de Blasio. You can watch the Live Stream through Watch ESPN. This is the first time the city has put on a parade for a women's team, NPR notes; in 1960, there was a ticker tape parade for Olympic skating gold medalist Carol Heiss Jenkins.
