The U.S. team members are paid far less than their male counterparts, and soccer fans aren't having it.
This weekend, the U.S. women's national soccer team won the World Cup, the team's fourth world championship. In case you missed the entire month's worth of thirsty tweets about team captain Megan Rapinoe, let's just say that the entire team managed to capture the nation's consciousness with both its talent and personality.
However, if you're new to soccer, you might be wondering why celebrating fans chanted along to "equal pay" in addition to "I believe that we just won." In a fact that won't be surprising to many American women, the U.S. team members are paid far less than their male counterparts.reports that FIFA has ranked the U.S. women's team first in the world for decades, and still, the team gets paid just 38 cents on the dollar compared to the men's team.
