Secret Base | The USWNT beefed for three decades to get fair pay, better conditions and the respect they deserve @SecretBaseSBN | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 hours ago
We know how this beef ends– the US Soccer Federation, helmed by new president Cindy Parlow Cone, agreed to an equal pay structure between the men’s and women’s teams. The women won, but that doesn’t mean US Soccer lost! Finally doing the right thing isn’t losing! There aren’t losers in this beef. The push for equality even got the men’s team a childcare benefit, there really are no losers.

But at the same time, it’s not a totally happy ending. Because why did it take 28 years of beef for the 4x World Cup champion USWNT to get respect from their own employer?
