Megan Rapinoe could faintly hear the stadium erupt in chants of "equal pay" as she and her teammates prepared to celebrate their World Cup win.
Rapinoe, one of the 28 players who sued the United States Soccer Federation alleging gender discrimination, said it felt like an iconic turning point in history. "I think we knew that this win, if we able to win, was going to be bigger than soccer. But that moment, I think, just solidified everything," she told AC 360's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday."It was like this World Cup win is so much more than what was on the field.
Really!? She ruined the sport for so many. I will not watch her or any soccer, just like the NFL, I don’t need it.
It is about the money.
It's a game. you deserve minimum wage like every other athlete. You aren't helping the world, curing cancer or Launching rockets into space. You don't deserve more than minimum wage. Dumbasses think they deserve everything.
ITS ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY
1st world cup men made 6 billion, women 150 million. That's simple economics. By my estimation you made 3% more than men. 2nd mPinoe will destroy the sport with her mouth. I usually watch, but I was put off by the rhetoric this year. Good luck
She put the spotlight on herself to get paid. No other reason.
All you women crack me up! She’s actually fighting for your rights as well. Stop drinking the koolaid and actually listen to the message! 🙄☠️💀☠️
Can’t invest IN people who spew HATE.
Who pays their salary? Let’s hope not tax payers.
In sports and Hollywood it's on popularity always will be Its who draws an audience sells tickets
Didn’t they lose to the under 15 men’s team
Didn’t they to a team of under 15 men’s team
Men's World Cup Final watched by 3.5 billion people.... Women's World Cup Final watched by just 100 million people... ...not close to equal... New idea.... All athletes representing USA play for honor and country & no pay.
Don’t they have a collective bargaining agreement ?
Sorry college athletes before these ppl. Most of them don’t even like America
'fight for equality in women's soccer'. well... based on her level of soccer she make too much money. Team of men with the same level of soccer like the american team don't get paid at all.
Should not exclude money
I never thought I'd say anything like that, but she's making Trump look good.
Beautifull, powerfull and brilliant girl, be proud, you deserve it
So, it's about money.
Just go away
There are so many professions where women have lower requirements than men like the military (less push ups, pack weight, distance to train), police force, laboring, yet get the same pay as men. If theres a gender pay gap, its in womens favor
Well apparently it’s now legal for men that identify as women to be a part of the team too so let’s see how you do up against that!
depends on what you mean by 'equality,' LOL no woman could even set foot on the field with a real men's soccer team
Can we hear from the players who dont trash America. How about the one who picked the flag up after the 3 loud mouths threw it down
Until she opened her big mouth I didn’t even know she existed. Now, she’s just boring AF.
A shit attitude towards your country will defiantly make people invest in the sport, just ask kapernik 😂

Dear, If Someone is saying 'He can CHANGE the World in RIGHT direction'. How would you react? 1- One Mad, Deranged or Mental health patient is sending Junk tweets? 2- Let him try something New? Why you shouldn't believe him? May be Its happening first time in this World?

I think Rapinoe is Right and so cool 😎

Well... the investment can't over run the market soooo.... keep your job or get a little more money and lose your job in a year or two.....
Hace bien si consigue convencer hace negocio redondo Y sus jefes más con las televisiones. It does well if it manages to convince does round business. And their bosses more with the television channels.
Thanks a lot Brothers & Sisters for your plan about trying to QUIT one of your Bad habits on this 4th July and thus showing your LOVE & GRATEFULNESS for our AMERICA. OUR AMERICA IS CRYING FOR HELP. I'm forever grateful to you.

Hey Dude, GO CRAZY about quitting all the BAD habits. OUR AMERICA IS CRYING FOR HELP. TARGET DATE - 4th July is OVER. Show your LOVE & GRATEFULNESS for our USA by helping to reduce Crime-rate and Health Care budget.
The market decides pay folks,, not your feelings...I know, it's not what you want to hear, but facts are facts, and those facts are clear, there simply isn't sustained interest in women's sports. Work on making things more lucrative and the rest will follow...
3-Create Social pressure...............Society can create this..........Just like..... they show difference to a Prostitute Family VS Highly Moral & Ethical Family.
Gov't can help in first two points 1- Add one chapter in our KIDs Textbook to show these are BAD habits & Explain its Consequences with Logical points 2- STOP glorifying it as freedom Leaders & Celebrities have to QUIT these BAD habits to show their MERCY for our Kids & Youth.
Womens soccer is as exciting to watch as middle school boys soccer. It doesn't generate enough profit and that's why they don't earn shit.
BAN is not possible................................ ..BAN is not a Solution. Three points Solution ----- 1-Teach 2-Don't glorify as freedom 3-Create Social pressure
TALKING TO MEDIA....TOO MUCH DISCUSSIONS IN TOP MEDIA/SEMINAR.......PHOTO EXCHANGE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA....FEELING HAPPY ONLY IN THESE ACTIVITY ? THIS WON'T HELP....BELIEVE IN ACTION.....ACTION...ACTION....GET UP SISTERS. ...WAKE UP...WAKE UP.....GOD ASKED ME TO WAKE YOU UP.
How come you can expect nice things from an Indecent Man under the influence of these bad habits ?
Dear Sisters, When will you realize that unless you're not fighting against ALCOHOLISM, DRUG, PORN, PREMARITAL SEX & EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS. ...You can't achieve Women Empowerment and Gender Equality.
