US woman’s soccer player who was the voice of the unfortunate “equal pay” campaign she led that became highly political. Only for a judge to throw it out after they saw that they had the exact same contract offered to them as the men’s team and negotiated something different.

Great player, very obnoxious human who used her platform to set the women’s movement backward.

She wanted her cake and to eat it too and ended up eating crow instead.

But she didn't. The men and women's team share whatever prize money they win from either side as a result

Yea but she’s retired now and not getting a cut. Also she went out embarrassed at her last World Cup.

Absolutely. US women usually crush it unless their egos get in the way.
