The American Women's National Soccer Team has been winning games and tournaments non-stop now for a while, in comparison to the men's team who has been losing most of their games. However, the men are paid a significantly larger amount than the women are. This controversy has gotten so much attention that more than two-thirds of Americans believe they should at least be making equal amounts to the men's team. There is a 25% payment gap between the men's top player and the women's top player. Women are paid $72,000 if they play 20 matches a year, and can make some small additional money if they win friendly matches. The men get paid $17,000 just for winning a match and $5,000 if they lose. If a men's team lost twenty matches, they would still make $100,000., which is still more than a woman would make if she won every one of her matches! This issue continues to get bigger and bigger, and the women's team will not stop until they get their equal pay.
