Wage Gaps

I was looking through Youtube (like you do), when I found this video. I clicked on it not thinking to be interested (I'm not really a football person), but this shocked be. I, personally, don't think this is fair.

Jules Spector, from teenfeminist.com, wrote on her blog:"In the 2015 Fifa Women's World Cup, team USA (whoo!) played 7 matches, had 97 shots on goal, scored 14 goals, and had only 3 goals shot against them. Oh, and they came in first place in a 5-2 win against Japan. 
In the 2014 Fifa Men's World Cup, team USA played matches, had 41 shots on goal, scored 5 goals, and had 5 goals shot against them. They came in 16th place. 
The USA Women's Team played 3 more matches than the Men's Team, had 56 more shots on goal, scored 9 more goals, and had two less goals shot against them."


The winners of the Women's World Cup earned $2 million where the men earned $9 million. 

THIS IS A PROBLEM
