Wage revolution: Inside the fight for pay parity

EQUAL PAY, EQUAL PAY, EQUAL PAY - that s what 59,000 spectators chanted after the US Women s National Soccer Team won the 2019 FIFA Women s World Cup. Today, the four-time world champions are still fighting to be paid the same as their male counterparts, who didn t even qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Women s National Team has won four World Cup championships and four Olympic gold medals on behalf of our country. We have filled stadiums, broken viewing records and sold out jerseys, US captain Megan Rapinoe said in her address to the White House for Equal Pay Day last week. Yet despite all of this, we are still paid less than men, for each trophy, each win, each tie, each time we play.

And, I am delighted to say, it most definitely can’t.
