0:00.0 | For the past several years, especially since the last Olympic Games, we've been told that women don't make as much money as men, especially women in sports. |
0:08.7 | We're told that the WNBA players don't make as much as the men, and we're told that the women's national soccer team doesn't make as much as the men. |
0:17.1 | And the response to that has been, well, they don't bring in as many people as the men do. |
0:22.2 | They don't bring in the revenues, so they get paid a smaller percentage. |
0:26.1 | And the lawsuit that these women brought by Megan Rappahoe was thrown out of court because of that very reason. |
0:32.8 | However, it turned out that the people that end up paying soccer stars, and I don't know who they are, but I don't care either, decided to pay the women exactly the same as the men, and they're just going to eat the difference. |

1:28.3 | I'm sorry, correction, five to nothing. |
1:31.3 | But, you know, five to nothing in soccer, that's a landslide. |
1:36.3 | In the second game against an all-men team, the men beat them 12 to nothing. |
1:42.3 | And then in the third game, where the team consisted of men and women, the opponents of |
1:49.5 | the U.S. national soccer team, the American women's team lost seven to one. |
1:56.8 | So the final score is 24 to 1. |
