US Women’s soccer team celebrate during a Victory Ticker Tape Parade for the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team down the Canyon of Heroes on July 10, 2019 in New York City. In March, all 28 players on the women’s team filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation, demanding their compensation be equal to that of their male counterparts. The lawsuit alleges that women players each earn a maximum of $99,000 total for a season, compared with an average of $263,320 for male players. (Photo by Erik Pendzich/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
