LFG

Gonna cut straight to the point here. Men enjoy sports more than women on average. Pro female athletes have nobody to blame for them being underpaid but other women. The average women does not care about womens sports at all. That is why womens sports is so low. Do you expect an audience to be entertained by a slower less skilled version of a sport? This is an equal world, the demand is entertainment... money talks.... its not the men teams fault that women are slower and less skilled on average in every sport. Men get more viewers so they get more money. Women get less viewers so they get less money.

And if you would like to argue that the women should be paid more because they win more thats a decent point but its massively overshadowed by the fact that nobody cares about womens sports. Nobody is gonna watch a watered down version of an entertainment product. You can claim sexism all you want, but then ask yourself why roughly 8/10 women dont care about womens pro athletics to any degree.

Every person on here will cry foul play, and then themselves and every other female family member they have wont watch a single WNBA game in their life.

This documentary does a great job of telling the story of the Women's National Soccer Team and their ongoing journey towards equality. I am quite frankly stunned by the negative reviews that have been left on this site by people who likely believe women do not deserve equal access and equal pay. The women in this documentary are still playing as the number one team in the world while being paid less than their male counterparts who didn't even qualify for the last World Cup.

As an attorney myself, I believe the film did a great job of showcasing the legal fight that happens while engaging with a lawsuit and how damaging summary judgement decisions can be when Judges are able to be the sole deciding person.

This documentary should be celebrated along with the Women's National Soccer Team that made it possible. People need to hear this story and understand the prospective of the women who have had to work twice as hard to still be given less than men.

Cheers to the creation of this documentary!

This film is entertaining, educational, and enlightening. My only criticism is the film feels more like a PR pitch ("why the women deserve equal pay rates") than an analysis of the legal case. The US Soccer Federation refused to participate, so there's no "other side" presented. The women do absolutely deserve the opportunity to make equal pay rates to the men. But I would have liked to learn more about the counter arguments (for the sake of being better informed). There is a brief recap at the end where Megan does give a bit of context to the counter argument.

I hope more people will post reviews of the film itself. Currently the documentary has a very poor overall score due to 1 star reviews from users who are personally offended by the concept of gender equality (but have nothing direct to say about the film).

I guarantee you that most of the other reviewers didn't even watch the film. It's a compelling and well-made documentary that will appeal to fans of the sport, regardless of whether or not they've been following the lawsuit.

How well this documentary is made is only surpassed by the message it conveys. A great watch!
