AgentNicoleLynn Do you understand CNN? You got caught red handed trying create shocking news that's not true. News entertainment 🤮

So once again girls break the rules and then cry when they get punished for breaking the rules?

The pay comes from the revenue coming in... if the women’s sport was bringing in what the men’s was, they’d get paid the same...

It’s in the rulebook, take your shirt off = receive a yellow card

Demanding equal pay is un-sports-MAN-like conduct.

Siri... what is brainwashed?

If you're too young to vote, you're too young to be pushing politics in the first place. It's why when leftists enlist their kids to supplement dwindling support, nobody takes them seriously anyway.

Then the ceo got the shoe?

Dumb

OMGItsBirdman

You go girls. Persist

When the women are as good as the men, then maybe. The recent World Championships in Dohar showed difference in that mixed 4x400 m relay. Why do women feel the need to be as good as men in sport. As doctors, layers, accountants they are the same. Just not in some sports...

Really hate when they bring politics into a pass time.

Good on ya, ladies. Every halfwit in America knows HS athletes aren’t paid. Even though this issue isn’t affecting you right now (although we can make a case that it is) you showed your solidarity to all women- thank you.

If the crowds come to your game, yes you should get paid. It is called Supply and Demand. Why don't you girls go and tryout for the Men's teams? Let's have that battle Popcorn ready. Transgender is already screwing many girl's sports all over the World.

if you want equal pay, expect also equal punishment. The rules apply to all, and removing the jersey is automatic cause for a yellow card. Simple.

Should male models ask for equal pay to?

This is from national news? Jeeeez...

When men who identify as women start playing women’s soccer they will get equal pay !

Does the women's soccer team bring in as much revenue as men? If so, then I can understand the equal pay demonstration.

I prefer “Equal Pay For Equal Profits”

Men can't protest like that.

Any soccer player removing their shirt is an automatic yellow card. Why should it be different for girls protesting?

I’d pay them more if they really took their jerseys off.

If they want equal pay Then generate equal revenue to earn it

If your ladies football players are more successful (more success meaning more wins, more trophies) than the men’s then they should be paid more, not just equal.

YM LAUGHING

They were penalized for removing their jersey top. SAME FOR MEN BTW.

LOL So now you are covering girls 'high school' soccer? BTW shitbrains- There was a professional women's soccer game on this past weekend. There were maybe 2000 people in attendance.

I wish they paid me the same as Ronaldo and Messi - maybe I should start a demonstration too

Their shirts are based upon a lie

Equal as in proportional? Need to define what you mean by that term. Gradually increase investment and as long as revenue continues to rise too, increase pay too.

Also, I think male lingerie models should make as much as the victoria secret models

These girls do t even understand their ignorance.

It’s yellow card if you remove your shirt during foootball match
