On Sunday, the U.S. women’s national soccer team dominated over the Netherlands — final score 2-0 — to take the 2019 Women’s World Cup.
Amazingly, among all the cheers were the chants ‘equal pay,’ encouraging the team which is a legal fight to be paid the same as their male counterparts.
Here are the stats: The 2019 Women’s World Cup offered players $30 million in prize money vs in 2018 Men’s World Cup handed out $400 million.
BREAKING NEWS: The TV ratings are in and the United States’ 2-0 victory over the Netherlands is the highest-rated soccer telecast in the United States since the 2015 women’s final. So that excuse by executives that ‘women’s sports’ don’t have the same commercial pull as men’s is a crock.
