Secret, a sponsor of the U.S. Women's National Soccer team, is now supporting its members' fight for pay equity as well.
The deodorant brand plans to make a "tangible commitment" to the team's demand for equal pay, it told CNN Business, contributing $529,000 to the U.S. Women's National Team Players Association.
In a full-page ad printed in Sunday's New York Times, Secret says it will donate $23,000 for each of the 23 players on the World Cup winning team to help close the pay gap. Secret also urges the organization to "be on the right side of history."
"Let's take this moment of celebration to propel women's sports forward," Secret says in the ad. "We urge the U.S. Soccer Federation to be a beacon of strength and end gender pay inequality once and for all."

ReplyDeleteWhy don't theses players switch leagues or stop doing what they are if the compensation is not sufficient for their needs. .

ReplyDelete"In one hypothetical case cited in the lawsuit, if the women's and men's teams both won 20 straight games in a season, the women would make 38% what the men do"
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter if they win 20 or 2000 straight games, it matters how many people paid to see those games or watched on TV/phones.
