It. Is. Time.

Samantha Mewis played on the U.S. Women’s National Soccer team that won a World Cup title in 2019, the team’s fourth. Yet for years, the team that also won four Olympic gold medals was paid less than lesser performing male players. Mewis and other team members sued the U.S. Soccer Federation seeking equal pay and in 2021 won identical contracts to their male counterparts.
