USWNT's Megan Rapinoe testifies to Congress on fight for equal pay – video

Megan Rapinoe has taken her fight for equal pay to Congress as she testified on Wednesday in front of a committee examining 'the economic harm caused by longstanding gender inequalities, particularly for women of colour'. Rapinoe said she did not understand why pay inequality was still a problem in US Soccer, despite the USWNT's success. 'I feel like honestly we've done everything,' she said.

During her testimony, Rapinoe added that she supported the rights of trans athletes. The midfielder also addressed the outcry at the NCAA tournament last week after photos showed the far inferior gym equipment provided to female players compared to their male counterparts
