USWNT used their equal pay lawsuit as confetti for World Cup parade

The USWNT polished off celebrating its fourth World Cup with a world-class flex, using their equal pay lawsuit as parade confetti.

Parades are cool, but equal pay is cooler.

Signs with slogans like that lined the streets of Manhattan on Wednesday as the UWSNT was celebrated as the heroes they are following a World Cup victory in France.

Throughout the entire the history of American soccer, a World Cup trophy has been brought home four times; all four of those were won by the USWNT. The best finish the USMNT has ever posted was third-place — back in 1930.

It’s facts like this that twist the knife in the ongoing debate about equal pay. The USWNT demanded it ahead of this year’s World Cup and proceeded to prove their point by absolutely flattening their competition in Europe.

Yet, FIFA is only awarding the USWNT $4 million for their feat. For comparison, the French National Team that won the Men’s World Cup last year received $38 million of an overall $400 million pool.

FIFA set aside just $30 million for the entire Women’s World Cup.

Victory in France has not only justified the case for equal pay but has amplified it. The lawsuit filed for equal pay literally rained from the heavens, used as the confetti to celebrate the USWNT’s feat of establishing themselves the best women’s soccer team on the planet.

That’s right: the confetti showering the best soccer team in America was the lawsuit demanding they be paid as such.

There’s really nothing more to say other than to let this flex speaks for itself.
