Gender Discrimination-Mia Murphy
On March 8, 2019, the United States women’s soccer team filed a gender discrimination law suit against the country’s soccer federation due to equal pay, and working conditions. The 28 women on the team say they have been feeling this discrimination for years, which is reflected in their pay, medical treatments, where they play, and when they play. This act of the U.S. women’s soccer team has also ignited other female sports teams to hop on the same band wagon. This current event relates to the 19th ammedment because women had to fight for the right to vote just like these women are fighting for the rights of women athletes.
