Well, this was unexpected.

The U.S. women’s national soccer team and its leaders, such as outspoken captain Megan Rapinoe, have claimed for years that they were victims of sexist pay discrimination due to receiving lower compensation than the men’s team. Their spurious claims were defeated in court. But despite its legal victories and having no obligation to do so, U.S. Soccer has just caved to the baseless woke outrage mob. It’s giving the women’s team almost everything it wanted.
