Ugh

Jemele Hill defends the women's world cup team for scoring 13 goals and celebrating after 9.
The shameful part is that how the U.S. women’s soccer team celebrated on the field will cause more of a stir than whether the players are paid fairly. Despite having won three World Cup titles, earned four Olympic gold medals, and generated millions of dollars more in revenue than the men in 2015, the women sometimes earn 38 percent of what the men earn per game.
If the women want equal pay, they should try marking Mbappe and see how it goes. The reality is they probably play at level of D3 college guys, so the other way to look at it is that they're lucky to be making any money at all.
