West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin announced a bill to withhold federal dollars for the men's World Cup unless the U.S. women's national soccer team receives pay equity. 'They are the best in the world and deserve to be paid accordingly'
, unless there's equal pay between both the men's and women's soccer teams.
Manchin said that his inspiration for the bill was a letter from West Virginia University Women’s Soccer Head Coach, Nikki Izzo-Brown. "The inequality of pay is unjust and this wage gap with the US men’s national team has to stop," Izzo-Brown wrote."The women have won four titles, men none; the women’s viewership in the FIFA World Cup final outdrew the men in the United States by over three million ."
