“We are the best in the world, have three World Cup championships, four Olympic championships, and the men get paid more to just show up than we get paid to win major championships,”
Hope Solo, American Goalkeeper.
The quote shows how women are getting paid less than men when they are playing the exact same sport. In the case, the women’s team is has won THREE World Cup championships and FOUR Olympic championships; and they are still getting paid less than the mens team, that is not nearly as successful. Women are putting in the same, if not more, amount of time and effort as the men and yet they are still getting paid less. This relates to the Roxane Gay quote that we discussed in class because women have to continue to fight for their right of equality.
