The shirts they displayed are part of a bigger campaign the soccer players are participating in.
“What these girls are doing is just spectacular in terms of raising awareness and putting some focus on the fact we still have inequities in our system,” said Jessica Nordhaus of Change the Story.that they were inspired by efforts from soccer star Megan Rapinoe and her teammates on the U.S. Soccer Women’s National Team to close the wage gap between male and female professional soccer players.
The girls have received orders for more than 500 #EqualPay shirts, including from male soccer players at their school. Shirts were also sent to Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and his wife, according to the outlet.
Sports, especially, is money driven. Women cannot get equal pay in sports until they start drawing in equal revenue. That means ticket sales. That means event attendance, TV, media Etc. Get your mind around the big picture.
More power to them.
when it comes to equal pay in sports you need to look at the revenue of that sport to determine pay , in business you need to look at productivity just because you may hold the job title does not necessarily make you equal male or female
If they only knew the truth.
How about women start to watch women's football like men watch men's games. The money comes from the audience. The idea that female athletes should be paid same as men is absurd beyond belief.
Fifa rules don’t permit the removal of jerseys to reveal slogans. Rightly yellow carded.
Was the ref a dude?
Very epic
Keeping women in thier place.😥
This Is America, Keep Protesting.🇺🇸⚖️🗽
“It’s appalling, and it’s ridiculous that that’s still a thing,” Burlington High School varsity soccer player Maggie Barlow told WPTZ. Well, Maggie, good news: it isn't still a thing. There is no wage gap. Not in soccer, not in the real world.
Equal pay as working at McDonalds after their practices.
Would boys be penalized too? Yes. Then they accomplished their goal
Glad they got the yellow card. In real life they would have just gotten fired. Stop the nonsense and just play the game.
Just play the sport dummy's, stop feeding into the liberal narratives....
Wahaha, well deserved. Do it in their free time and see if anyone cares or falls for the mythical pay gap. On the field my ladies, rules apply 🤣
Sports gender equal spending needs to start in grade schools. Athletics is too large a part of the American school system to not have gender equal funding.
I am proud of the girls for standing up for what they believe in; the only way to affect change is to make noise. To be silent is to consent. Way to go girls!
When the world gets more woke, they're going to combine men and women sports. The degree of competition will be so high that it will eventually remove women from the sport. Women will have to create their leagues and we'll be back to where we began. DaveChappelle was right.
It's a shame no one actually learns the details of the equal pay debate. Nuanced and complicated. But yeah, keep hashtagging and protesting.
EndThePrisonGap
yea-a real men's reaction...
Just finished reading Ronan Farrow's book and am muting all NBC news accounts until y'all CLEAN HOUSE.
Keep standing for what you believe in, I’m proud of you young ladies!
Learn Why is this still a thing?
Good job, ladies!
Sounds like Bernie Sanders at work.
Thems the rules for both men and women.
Equal pay must have equal viewership
Do away with teams by gender that will solve the problem. Who ever Is best will play
I wasn’t aware high school soccer players recd pay...
Until all women are required at age 18 to register with the selective service for the war draft like men have to do then women will never be equal with men. So step up to the plate all of you feminists and register at your local post office today... 🤨
it's Soccer not Tennis. Rules are clear like a crystal. Maybe they should pick another hobby.
“EqualPay jerseys cost $25, but the team is inviting men to pay an additional $4.80 to represent closing the wage gap, the Free Press reported.” Where the sun doesn’t shine
👏👏👏
Fantastic!!
Congrats girls. Impressive you took a stand for what you believe in.
Good for them. They have a voice and they are allowed to use it. Women have to fight tooth and nail for everything. Equal pay for women shouldn't be just in the sports. Keep fighting ladies - well done! 👊👏👊
Good because it's ignorant
Never give up!
MSNBC got rid of Phil Donahue, Ed Schultz, Cenk Uygur Krystal Ball and more ... basically anyone who wouldn't read scripts.
The largest income earners in the United States are Asian men and Asian women not white men. This is more far-left SJW propaganda and they are exploiting children to spread it.
Women’s US soccer is overpaid by every measure.
3 replies so far 1 pro and 2 against. For some reason, the two against are bumped under “more replies”.
Leave the politics out of sports and play the game. If you want to get into politics, pick up a sign and stand on the corner of the street.
I didn't realize they paid high school girls soccer players.
Do You Support EqualPay?
just another group brainwashed by already debunked myth. equal pay exists for equal work. period
Stop having children involved. This is ignorant
