Her name is Megan Rapinoe. The US women's team were the best football team on earth. Four World Cups. Four Olympic gold medals. The men failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup entirely. The women were still paid significantly less. Lower salaries. Lower bonuses. Lower prize money. Same federation.
Different rules.
In 2019 Megan and her teammates sued the United States Soccer Federation for gender discrimination. The federation fought back. Argued the pay gap was justified. Argued the men generated more revenue. The women kept fighting.
In 2022 US Soccer agreed to pay both teams equally - permanently. Every female player who had been underpaid received back pay. The most successful team in American football history had to sue their own federation to be treated the same as the men who couldnt even make the tournament. They won. Every penny.
