The U. S. Women’s Soccer Team made history earlier this month when they succeeded in getting a contract that grants equal pay and equal treatment with the Men’s U. S. Soccer Team.

 

The women’s team has been more successful than the men’s for years. Now their talents and contributions are being recognized.

 

Even better: “This doesn’t happen without the men’s team championing it,” said Cindy Parlow Cone, president of U. S. Soccer. The men are giving up substantial money to make the pay between the two teams equal.

 

So, it’s a doubly-good story: Women are being treated equally with men, and men stepped up to help make it happen.
