Megan Rapinoe Calls For Equal Pay At House Hearing: ‘We Don’t Have To Wait’ | NBC News NOW
For all of you who won't waste your time watching this hearing. The women were paid more than the men yet bring in less than half the Revenue as the men. Yet still complain about Equal Pay. They refused the same contract as the Men
She's actually pretty smart. She figured out how to make millions from advertisers by pushing a false oppressive narrative. Activism is where the real money is these days and not actual talent. She's building her brand on a lie which the media will praise her for.
Yeah, the men should have equal pay too! Where are all the benefits that women get? Hiding your pay in benefits is a convenient way to look like a victim.

Fact is, they were found to be paid more than the men when you looked at the benefits they negotiated for that the men don't get after turning down the EXACT SAME DEAL THAT THE MEN WERE GIVEN. Pretending that there is a pay gap when you are actually getting more than the men is despicable, just like when women used to be discriminated against because of their gender, but now when it is men, no one cares.
Check out that like dislike ratio.
Young men growing up in a world where Cardi B and Megan Rapinoe are simultaneously raised on pedestals is… With the most charitable of analysis… F**king confusing.
She should just play for the men’s team

Anyone who can watch the first 10 secs of this vid and still support rapinoe is demented.
When are we gonna get someone to argue back sheesh
Generate more revenue then
The fact of the matter is, you get paid according to how much you bring in. It's common sense.
Rapinoe owes the other female soccer players money…she singlehandedly killed US women's soccer for the past couple of years
Wow. Just wow.
Completely unrelated but I find that I pay attend to Megan because she has great hair! I love that hairstyle I am stealing it lol
It's like if a tv actor was asking to be paid the same as Brad Pitt!!! You're not in the same category lady!!!
Over five million subs and this interview gets just over 4000 views tells you all you need to know. Even the lefties can’t stand her. She’s ruining the fanbase and somebody at USA soccer should tell her to shut her pie hole.
Equal pay in soccer? Woman's soccer doesn't have the same amount of fans and sales? Perhaps you should compare yourself to men's curling.
Contractual obligations are definitely not a passion of yours. The woman's soccer team couldn't defeat a boy's under 15 squad from Texas. Nor can they fill a stadium at the prices that the men's squad can.
I guess the ruling by a court of law indicating you got paid more on a per game basis was wrong, in her professional legal opinion.
This is so stupid. Didn’t she turn down a contract that was more than the one she has now?
Even worse, we’re a year into a pandemic for christ’s sake. People are dying and losing homes and pensions, but she wants more millions. How pathetic
When will you learn
How do you oppress someone when they get the contract they asked for ??
Go play tennis then.
I'm all in for equal pay. Businesses will stop discriminating against men when they have to pay just as much for women! Be careful what you wish for Megan.
I wonder how supportive of equality she'd be when faced with paying alimony and child support to her husband?
Come on now…like "Joe Mansion" reading your statement. Who made you sign any of those contracts?
The only place where people can get away with pretending people like this chick is on twitter. The second the fake accounts aren't in play this chick gets ratio'd. Like this doesn't help your ratings guys. I'm just being honest
She’s so oppressed…a millionaire complaining about not making enough money…
Megan…. your Olympic team got beaten 5-2 by teenagers from Dallas… 14 year olds to be exact. Should we give FC Dallas a TV deal too?
I am 100% in favor of equal pay in the workforce…But i still have no clue why equal pay in brought up in women’s soccer. How can you ask for equal pay when your output is not the same as the men?
Billions of people on earth make less than $5 per day and this multimillionaire is crying for more. Rapinoe makes and has many multiples more than the vast majority of all humans who ever existed in history. Grow up please.
This POS doesn’t deserve 5 cents.
All for equal pay and womens soccer is getting more popular than ever. However you have to create the revenue and fill stadiums weekly not every 4 years to justify it.
Signs a contract, generates less revenue, wants same pay, makes zero sense? Yes.
