Websites such as New York times are stating that the unequal pay isn't such a big deal because the men are doing more work. As shown in the "What's the difference in pay" they definitely are not doing the same amount of work.  Also in an interview with Gavin McInnes, a political commenter. he had stated that women should be grateful to have the opportunity to play a mans sport, and that women do not get enough views to get paid enough. The US women's soccer team on the other hand had broken the record for most viewed soccer game in the 2015 world cup.

According to the Women’s players of the US soccer team they get paid 4x less then men. In an interview with the women's soccer team they stated“ Salaries vary but in 2015 Hope Solo was paid about $366,000 dollars in total by U.S. Soccer.  In 2014, also a World Cup year for the men, team USA goalkeeper Tim Howard was paid $398,495.  She played in 23 games for the U.S. He played in 8.” This shows how women are working just as or even more than men but are still getting 4x less than them. Women deserve equal pay for doing the same or more work than men.

Over time there has been progress because before it used to be an 8-1 pay difference from men and women and now it is 4-1 but it is still not enough. Whenever the team mentions it to they federation they get annoyed and dismiss the topic. So, no, not a lot of progress has been made but we need to move forward and get the equal pay!

Long story short, too long. This issue has been going on for more than 30 years. Goalie, Hope Solo, who has been on the team for more than 19 years has been bringing it up since the beginning but has been shushed by the federation. The women should not be silenced and deserve equal pay as soon as possible.
