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.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
