[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are paid to play a sport.  STFU, the rest of us have to do real jobs and get paid much less.  There are plenty of well paid  women in different industries and if you feel you need to pay more, then move onto another employer.  You end up splitting hairs with this argument because we can open it up to certain races getting paid less.    [/quote]

Agreed that women are paid less than men in virtually all jobs, and it is worse for women of color.  But if USWNT is able to shine a big spotlight on the inequities of women being paid less than men for the same job, and if they are able to bring about any incremental change because of that spotlight, then that is a great thing for all women.  So I strongly disagree that they should STFU.  Instead, they should use the few minutes left they have in the spotlight to raise as much attention to this issue as possible, at least until the next major tournament roles around and they get the national spotlight again.  I also applaud all of the work the members of this team have done over the decades, when the spotlight has not always been shining on them, of trying to grow the women's game and fighting for better pay.
