Players from a high school girls soccer team in Vermont were penalized after they revealed a message promoting equal pay under their team jerseys during a game, the team's coach said.
For Friday night's game, which was senior night, the entire team -- as well as the coaching staff and members of the crowd -- wore the custom-made white T-shirts adorned with #EQUALPAY, Hayes said. After the warmup, the girls placed their jerseys over the shirts to comply with the bylaws of the Vermont Principals' Association, but after a late goal was scored with thee minutes left in the game, some players took off their jerseys in excitement.
The penalized players had to sit out for some of the game but were eventually allowed back in, Hayes said. "It goes for everyone -- every girl, every woman, the world," player Helen Worden said."It’s not just about sports.”
they don't get paid so who put them up to this. Pretty bad using high schools kids to push a agenda
Soccer is fuckin’ weird. You can take an knee in the NFL during the national anthem and not get a penalty. But, dress code is important.
Blah blah blah . Bring in the same size crowd as the men’s team does maybe you’ll get more money
Of course.
Now let that be a lesson. Don't try to better yourself by standing up for yourself. Inspirational message : It's hard to soar like an eagle when the authorities clip your wings.
Seriously?who decided that, an old white guy?
Poor kids constantly being lied to. It’s not their fault
Seek help
Somehow, I doubt they would have been penalized if their T-shirts read: 'Stay home, Cook, & Clean.' Keep shouting your message!
They were penalized for removing their jerseys. Full stop. That's the rule in soccer. At all levels of the game. Doesn't matter what the message is. You remove your jersey during the match, you get penalized.
Equal pay is a nice idea, just like communism and socialism. People need to read up on these things and realize that it's complete nonsense. 🤓 It may create short term gain for some, but then guess who gets fired when the manager considers downsizing 👍
Female expresses themselves/speak up and man penalizes them for it. I’m getting sick of this, this shit should be illegal. Either we change our laws or get this sensitive “men” the fck out... pip slap them a few times to man up.
Revenue Men’s World Cup = $6,000,000,000 Women’s World Cup = $131,000,000 Ridiculous protest
Especially when none of them have a job yet ! Don’t know about alimony . Don’t know about child support! Don’t know about or probably do already that men have to spend a lot of money on them to get sex and spend even more money to keep getting it ! Including more than 1/2 assets?
How dare we speak out against discrimination. 🤷🏻♀️👎🏾
These girls are teenagers in school. Disgusting that their coaches turn them into political pawns.
RIGHT ON SISTAHS!! 👊
Penalised over excessive celebration - That’s just BS! Haven’t they seen other soccer matches in Europe where they have a party after a goal
Stupid America
So pay each player the same amount?
Can you say clickbait?
Why have we become so fearful of the truth and the expression of it? Maybe the team should each ‘take a knee” at the next game?
Good for them! 👏👏👏
So if you don’t draw you get paid the same expect owners to take a hit not great business
I guess this is technically true...
story gonna blow over in a couple days or so. nobody gonna give a crap about some bums an HS in Verfuckingmont lmfao.
They got penalized for removing their jersey in celebration, which is an automatic yellow card. They could have worn My Little Pony shirts under their jersey and got the same penalty. The boys wore them too. No penalty because they kept their jerseys on. MarinateOnThat
Another myth, another lie.
Good for you girls! Your parents should be so proud! You've brought attention to the ongoing problem of 'Equal Pay' for females in all walks of life.FemalePower
Shame on you, abc, for this misleading headline. As you obviously know from your article, they were penalized for excessive celebration, NOT for their equal pay message. Clickbait stunts like this give journalism a bad name. 😡
Good for them! Trump and his MAGAt hordes are rolling back women's rights as fast as they can. Fight back, ladies!
How much were they making before the protest
DifferentStandardsForWomen DifferentStandardsForMinorities
They were penalized for removing their jerseys. What was underneath had nothing to do with the penalty. Nice clickbait though 👌
Shut up and dribble
Good for them!
They get paid in school sports?
Pay gap is a myth.
Once again equal rights for females dont mean shit
Why?
In reality, woman can get along. have you seen them shop when a sale goes on and items are limited... They are demons in disguise and money is all they want.
high school kids do not get paid
oh come on! dont tell me there's a rule for what you wear 'under' your team shirt?🥴
So proud of you girls! EqualPay YouDontStandAlone
This is the kind of unintentional, yet still misleading, information that allows the term fakenews to be utilized! abc needs better editing and maybe a person on staff who understands the game of highschool soccer
If you found out you weren't getting equal pay because you are a girl couldn't you sue for discrimination? Plus isn't that already illegal anyways?
So bogus !!!
Great job ladies! FYI for all those outraged by the penalty: It would be a yellow card even if the shirts underneath said nothing. That’s a known rule in soccer.
Lmao!
I see the nagging has seeped into the teenage level now. Do these ladies understand how equal pay works? Do you understand that half of these female programs only exist because of government grants and subsidies?
So standing up for your belief will always get you in trouble!
Is that school in China?
What do the male high school soccer players make?
If you’re equally as good as male players then yes. If you’re just about on a par with a schoolboys under 15 side, then no.
Life us not equal If it was everyone could play soccer You cant win with one good player If life was equal I would be taller If life was equal you would be better looking If life was equal you would have better grades LIFE IS NOT EQUAL GET OVER IT
This is brilliant. Great job to the girls EqualPay
Bless their very wise hearts! Can't wait for them to vote!
👎 PLEASE GET A LIFE!! PENALIZED? SMH
4 players were penalized for excessive celebration, and the shirts had NOTHING to do with it.
Please save us from this nonsense. Unless you bring in quality football we will start paying attention.
got this photo of the girls
Dissent is patriotic. I support those young women 100% I am shocked and ashamed they were penalized for making an important statement
Get politics out of grade school sports. These are 15 year old girls. Coaches should be ashamed of this kinda stunt.
They want equal pay but all Dems, having 3 & 4 mansions, resulted N their stealing our $$$ 2 enrich THEIRSELVES! Wait till they retire & try 2 get Social Security...yes DEMS STOLE THAT TOO! Corrupt Pedowood & Dems get SPECIAL pay. Dems are corrupt morons!
They want equal pay because all Dems having 3 & 4 mansions because they stole our $$$ to enrich THEIRSELVES! We all get equal pay but corrupt Pedowood & Dems get special pay. Dems are corrupt morons!
If you don’t ask, you don’t get!
This is what we need to focus on this is what we’re worried about a bunch of high school girls taking a legit cause
“Equal pay”? That is un-American. As the GOP has stated many time, in word and/or deed, women are chattel.
Woke messages should be allowed
just remember 'nevertheless she persisted' and keep fighting for what is fair
The sun never ceases. It keeps shining, here or there. Be like the sun.
Well a couple of kids holding up a trump 2028 sign were penalized outside of school hours. Why shouldn't these kids during a game? Or are political messages only okay when they are from the left?
Create equal revenue
What a misleading headline. They were penalized for taking their jerseys off during the game. Not for the message on the undershirt.
Teachable moment to define how the free market works.
That bull crap.
You missed something
THE FUTURE IS NOW.
Considering the top female soccer players earn more then the top male soccer players I'm not really understanding their argument. Are they saying their male counterparts deserve equal pay?
Dupes push fallacy
They should be more concerned with the demise of Women's sports due to allowing biological males to play.
EQUAL PAY IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A MYTH!!!!!
