If the women\u2019s team played 20 games in a year and won all of them, they would make $99,000 in bonuses. If they lost all their games, they would make $72,000. Male players\u2019 salaries are drastically different; they were paid $5,000 per exhibition game. If they won all their games, they would make $263,320, and if they lost all their games, they would make $100,000 (McCarthy 2016). This wage gap categorizes female players as less worthy and inferior to their male counterparts despite playing the same game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Suing for women\u2019s pay equality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an effort to address long standing wage inequality in professional soccer, United States women\u2019s national team players Alex Morgan, Meghan Rapinoe, Becky Sauerbrunn, Hope Solo, and Carli Lloyd filed an initial complaint of unequal pay in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-30-at-10.05.06-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3608\" width=\"556\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-30-at-10.05.06-AM.png 534w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-30-at-10.05.06-AM-300x219.png 300w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-30-at-10.05.06-AM-230x168.png 230w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-30-at-10.05.06-AM-350x256.png 350w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-30-at-10.05.06-AM-480x351.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alex Morgan (left) and Hope Solo (right)(Mike Ehrmann\/Getty 2016)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After nothing came from this complaint, 28 members of the USWNT filed a lawsuit in 2019 \u201cciting years of ongoing institutionalized gender discrimination against their compensation and working conditions\u201d (Lenthang 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.47.22-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.47.22-PM.png 566w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.47.22-PM-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.47.22-PM-230x180.png 230w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.47.22-PM-350x273.png 350w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.47.22-PM-480x375.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Young fans at a USWNT game (Wilf Thornes \/ ISI photos \/ Getty 2020)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the lawsuit, the USWNT claimed that the The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) created separate compensation structures for the gendered teams, regardless of each team\u2019s performance and revenue, women were to be paid less. In response to this claim, the USSF argued that \u201cmarket realities [were] such that the women [did] not deserve to be paid equally to the men&#8221; (Felcher 2020). Relying on these \u2018market realities,\u2019 like ticket sales, selling merchandise, number of television viewers, is a false pillar to rely on, as \u201cfrom 2016-2018, women\u2019s games generated approximately $50.8 million in revenue, compared with $49.9 million for men\u2019s game\u201d (Johnsen Hess 2019). The women\u2019s team have shown that they can match if not exceed the men\u2019s team\u2019s revenue, showing that no market realities are holding them back. The USSF\u2019s defense revealed the ideology of female inferiority that they relied on in explaining their mistreatment of the USWNT.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This case got national attention due to the women\u2019s national team\u2019s tremendous success compared to the US men\u2019s team. The women\u2019s team has won four FIFA World Cup titles since its creation in 1991, whereas the closest the men\u2019s team has been to a FIFA World Cup was when they took third in the first World Cup in 1930. Additionally, in 2018 FIFA men\u2019s World Cup the winning team was awarded $38 million in prize money. By contrast, in the 2019 FIFA women\u2019s World Cup, the USA won their second consecutive FIFA title and was only collectively awarded $4 million (Lenthang 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.48.58-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.48.58-PM.png 755w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.48.58-PM-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.48.58-PM-230x148.png 230w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.48.58-PM-350x226.png 350w, https:\/\/soc.hamiltonlits.org\/sharingsociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-30-at-1.48.58-PM-480x310.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Members from the USWNT celebrating their 2019 World Cup victory at a parade in New York (Johannes Eisele \/ Getty 2019)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lawsuit was finally settled in 2022 granting the USWNT team an equal salary to that of their male counterparts (Lenthang 2022). After 37 years of unequal pay, the women\u2019s soccer team won fair pay by uniting with each other and collectively taking their case to court, fighting the societal issue of the wage gap to solve their personal trouble of being paid less than men in their sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Celebrating equal pay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women in sports smash typical female stereotypes depicting women as weak, helpless, and inferior. Yet, their pay failed to reflect their status, and instead affirmed that they were inferior to men. This pay discrepancy reflects a larger pattern in the U.S. and around the world. In America, women make 82 cents for every dollar that a man makes (Jones 2021). The USWNT\u2019s fight for equal pay is a step in the right direction. Society has shifted, and as it shifts, one can only hope the wage gap grows closer and closer until one day disappearing, like it has for the US women\u2019s national soccer team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>References:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Blau, Francine D., and Lawrence M.
