What do the women's team make compared to other national women's teams around the world? How much money is invested in women's sports in the US compared to other countries (including college scholarships)? How much money does women's soccer generate for the organization compared to the men's team?

What was collectively bargained by the women's team compared to the men's team?

It is completely insulting that Rapinoe will stand in front of congress and claim that she or any other female athlete is being discriminated against in athletics when the US has invested a ton more recourses into women's sports than pretty much every other country, thus making them more successful on the international stage, thus allowing them to make more money then their competition.

These investments into women's sports/success has largely resulted in the detriment to men's sports like gymnastics and wrestling.

I thought it was completely bullshite when watching the Olympics. The announcers were full SJWs by talking about how great female gymnastics and figure skating were compared to the male athletes. I was like of fricking course they are, they actually have recourses that allow them to be great. Instead of gratitude that your country values you as an athlete, you want to stand in front of congress and bitch and cry about equality? frick off.
