Matthew D. LaPlante: Hey caveman, put your money where your mouth is on women’s sports

Gordon Monson is wrong about a lot of things, a lot of the time. But The Salt Lake Tribune sports columnist isn’t wrong about how women soccer players should be paid.

His argument (“Hey all you Cro-Magnon men out there, including here in Utah, pay the U.S. women’s team — and all women — the equal salaries they earn,”) is that the U.S. Women’s National Team (recent winners of a fourth World Cup) should be compensated as much as the men’s side (which has an 8-win, 6-tie, and 19-loss record in all-time World Cup play.) What a hot take.
