As you may have seen the US men's national soccer team wrote to the US soccer association on Wednesday about the women's team getting equal pay!
You might have remembered that in march of 2019 that all 28 of the USWNT members sued US Soccer for gender discrimination. Since then the US Men's team was getting into the action. The US Men's team wrote a letter to US Soccer stating that the women should be getting paid 3 times the amount that the men's team was being paid.
They also added, "Support the team, not the federation."
We are all hoping that since both teams agree that the Women's team will get payed more!
