Yesterday, a Los Angeles court announced that the players in the US women's soccer team receive no lower financial compensation than the U.S. men's players, something the ladies claimed in a lawsuit.
The message was received with anger and disappointment from several directions, including the team's spokesperson Molly Levinson.
"We are shocked and disappointed at today's verdict, but we will not give up our hard fight for equal pay," she said.
Biden: "Don't give up"Now players get support from an unexpected direction. Joe Biden, who will all be judged as the Democratic presidential candidate for the fall election, went on Twitter and supported the team tonight:
"To the American women's soccer team: Don't give up this fool, it's not over yet. To the American Football Association: Give equal pay now, otherwise you can go elsewhere to get money for the World Cup, "he wrote.
What he is most likely referring to is the men's World Cup 2026, which will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
