American rapper Snoop Dogg has called for the pay gap between the USA men's and women's soccer teams to be ended after the women won their fourth World Cup on Sunday.


Figures obtained by The Guardian show a vast difference in earning potential between the men's and women's teams, reporting that while the USWNT receive $110,000 each for winning the World Cup, the men would get $9.375 million split between 23 players ($407,608 each) if they won the men's competition.

Golden Ball and Golden Boot winner Megan Rapinoe addressed the issue immediately after the US had defeated the Netherlands 2-0 in Lyon, France.

Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to share his thoughts too.

He said:

“Food for thought, shout out to the USA women's soccer team for their fourth World Cup, but what I want to talk about is they only get $90,000 per player, but the men, if they win it they get $500,000 per player."
“Sorry-ass f****** men from the US soccer team ain't ever won shit, ain't gonna ever win shit, can't even get out of the f****** first round."
“Pay them ladies man, pay them girls what they're worth. The women should be getting $500,000 per athlete, Snoop Dogg says so."
“Them girls won four World Cups, and $90,000? Man, please."





Many men responded to Snoop Dogg online to tell him the men get more because they generate more revenue, without knowing that when it comes to USA soccer, the women generate more revenue than the men and have for some time.

Chants of “equal pay" rang around the stadium in Lyon after the final whistle was blown, while FIFA president Gianni Infantino was booed in the Stade de Lyon.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
