Other reviewers must not have paid attention to the facts presented in the film.
The USWNT has won 4 world cup championships. That's 4 more than the men have won. They rought in more revenue than the men's team. They. Win. More. The USWNT and their lawyers successfully refuted every argument the federation presented until the only thing they had left was "bUt WoMeN aRe BiOlOgIcAlLy InFeRiOr." Classic.
Has anyone considered that the women's game would improve (even more) if they were paid the same as men? As it stands, highly skilled female players are faced with the choice of pursuing their dreams of a career playing for the US National Team and making a relatively mediocre salary, or hanging their cleats up and getting a serving or desk job that pays more for WAY less work.
Female soccer players are playing the same exact game, and they put in the same amount of work (or more) as their male counterparts. The only difference is the women have 4 times more World Cup Championship trophies. The lack of respect for women's soccer (and women's sports, in general) is irrelevant -- the fact is this is the most successful women's national soccer club in history.
Pay the girls, Snoop Dogg said so.
