U.S.—Star player Megan Rapinoe has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the United States women’s national soccer team to overturn the “unjust, unfair, unconstitutional law of supply and demand,” sources confirmed Wednesday.
Rapinoe challenged the law for oppressing women when it was revealed that men’s soccer brings in exponentially more money than women’s soccer, and as such women are paid less. The lawsuit, filed earlier this week, petitions the US government to recognize that the basic economic laws that determine wages violate federal discrimination regulations on gender.
“The oppressive, misogynistic law of supply and demand has conspired against women for years,” she said. “More people want to watch men’s soccer, so the men make a lot more money than we do. This is a clear example of systemic inequality that has been enshrined in economic laws for centuries.”
“Also, I’m a woman, I’m gay, I have pink hair, and I have tattoos, and [expletive] President Trump!” she added. “Wooooooo!!!” She said she will continue to tout these facts as important elements of the lawsuit that challenges the law of supply and demand. “There’s no way a judge will rule against me because I’m so brave.’
The lawsuit includes specific exemptions for areas where women make more money than men due to supply and demand, legal counsel for Rapinoe confirmed at publishing time.
