U.S. Women’s Soccer Lopsided Win: Gillibrand Waxes Feminist, Team Slammed For Wild Celebrations On Field, Rapinoe Ignores Anthem

On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) offered her own take on the U.S. women’s soccer team’s 13-0 thrashing of the overmatched Thailand team at the World Cup: because of the lopsided score they should be paid as much if not more than the men’s team. Gillibrand wrote, “Here’s an idea: If you win 13-0 — the most goals for a single game in World Cup history — you should be paid at least equally to the men’s team.”
