LYON, France - The crowd at the women’s World Cup final booed FIFA chief Gianni Infantino and French president Emmanuel Macron as United States fans demanded equal pay for the players after their team claimed a fourth global title by beating the Netherlands 2-0 on Sunday.
Macron and Infantino, the head of soccer’s world governing body, were turned on by the supporters as they approached the ceremony podium — a sharp contrast with the hero-like reception given to player of the match Megan Rapinoe by the 57,900 crowd. Rose Lavelle rounded off the victory eight minutes later as the Americans added to their 1991, 1999 and 2015 world titles.
It was filed in federal court last month and says the women are not paid the same as their male counterparts.
Equal pay for equal skills
How much earnings in sponsorship have the women brought in for FIFA?
Hilarious!! Reuters fake news..
deray The money has to be there first. CommonSense
WHY can’t we just have sports anymore?
Those girls should vote for Sanders or Kamala . Same shit here and there. Shame.
Equal pay even if women make more money.
It was something else that made them booed................
It is not fair play. 😉 Men sell more than women.
Generate the same revenue then speak you greedy ungrateful bunch
It is not fair play. 😉
Generate same profits and then you’ll see. Basic math people
deray Does Macron decide on players' pay? Why not just reduce the men's salaries anyway.
Whenever you lost your way, write down your reasons why you must get healthy. It will light a fire under everything you do or wish to do. It will inspire you to push harder, to fight longer, to find a new way. I_ASK_YOU never give up and think positive. parsisotope cancer
If you give someone the little finger, they want the whole hand. Few football skill but lots of politics. I've seldom been so bored by football. I'm glad this one is over.
let's see the anti-American team support their country first
They want equal pay for less value. The last men’s World Cup brought in $4billion and the 2015 women’s World Cup brought in $78million. Percentage wise, the women get 13% of the money, men only get 9%. This is absolutely fake news. There is much less demand for women’s soccer.
the boos was aimed FIFAcom Infantino...
This championship has been dominated by discussions over pay, gender, patriotism, fairplay.. It's great it's over.
Not a huge fan of Macron, but why is he getting booed?
I just ate a fabulous box of Macrons. Straight from Paris.
What does Macron have to do with this tho ?
Okay, but CLEARLY the boo's were directed at the head of FIFA...not Macron. Misleading tweet, don't you think?
Yea if you can bring in the same revenue as the men's football, then you can get equal pay.
I love it. I'm actually encouraged that maybe then entire world isn't fucked.
