What was Dallas Sting going to be about

Dallas Sting was supposed to document the founding of the first-ever women's soccer team in the United States and how it went on to compete in international championships, becoming the first soccer team to do so. During Ronald Reagan's presidency, the US opened up to China and, to expand its relationship with the South-Asian country, accepted the latter's invitation to the first ever FIFA tournament for women's national teams.

It was also the country's first women's soccer team to travel outside of the US. It was founded by Bill Kinder, who also served as the team's coach when it went to China despite not having any prior coaching experience. As per reports, Kinder had paid $85,000 from his credit cards to book non-refundable air tickets for the team to get to China in 1984.

Sting beat Italy in the championship game, becoming the first American team, male or female, to win a major international tournament.

The inspirational tale of a team of women needed to be told and was six weeks away from production before it was scrapped by producers Skydance and Berlanti Schechter Productions. Skydance and other producers had bought the rights to an unpublished article by Flinder Boyd at an auction, which was supposed to serve as the basis for the script of the now stalled film. Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch were tasked with turning the article into a script for the film that was to be directed by Kari Skogland.
