The Performance and the Pay-Gap Debate Gets Real Now
So #USWNT has won back to back World Cups and the men’s team didn’t even QUALIFY for the last World Cup, yet the pay gap is insane... this math ain’t adding up #USAvNED #WorldCupfinal pic.twitter.com/USYgC6V4kI

Arguments Supported by Logic
The U.S. Women's Team won its 4th World Cup title today.
However, each player will only earn 1/4th of what a member of the US Mens Team would earn if they won the #WorldCup.
25% for the same feat - $250K versus $1 Million
Time to Close the Gap. #USWNT #USAvNED
