In this episode, the panelists discuss the US Women's National Team and their fight for equal pay for equal play. This episode comes on the heels of a portion of their case being dismissed. R. Gary Klausner of United States District Court for the Central District of California ruled that the players’ arguments that they were systematically underpaid by U.S. Soccer in comparison with the men’s national team were unsubstantiated. Klausner even stated that the USWNT had actually earned more “on both a cumulative and an average per-game basis” than the men’s team during the years in question.
Also discussed was inequality in sports overall.
