WASHINGTON - Megan Rapinoe is a decorated champion on the soccer pitch and has been a champion for women seeking equal pay in the workplace.She continued to carry the cause Wednesday when she testified before Congress in honor of Equal Pay Day.
Rapinoe was questioned on the team’s pending equal pay lawsuit."Yes, we’re fighting for ourselves and yes, we have our outstanding lawsuit with the federation, but we’re with everyone.
We’re with so many women across the country. We’re with so many women who aren’t able to be in this committee hearing, who aren’t able to get the ear of the media, who do not have the bright lights and cameras on them all the time.
