Women’s soccer players make WAY more money for the US soccer federation but earn 44% less– and now they’re suing for equality

In simple terms: The men earned four times as much to lose a tournament as the women earned to win the whole thing. Read the US women’s statement after the jump. And that’s not all: women’s physical playing conditions are different in one important way from the men’s.

These women are risking everything, because you know the men who run the whole thing are going to do their best to blackball them from the sport.

It’s infuriating and fundamentally wrong that women do not earn the same as men, and it makes me want to set he world on fire when women who won their entire sport even in conditions (fake turf that was horrible) that were worse than the men, who lost the whole damn thing are paid less.
