This Ad Supporting Equal Pay for Women’s Soccer Players Will Air During the Olympics

The U.S. women’s national soccer team is getting a nice PR boost for its fight for equal pay during the Olympics. A new ad from UltraViolet, a feminist advocacy group, makes a concise argument against a current U.S. Soccer payment structure that pays the men’s team more for just showing up to a game than it pays women for a major win. It will air on NBC stations in Seattle and Baltimore on Tuesday, when the networks will air the U.S. women’s soccer team’s game against Colombia at 6 p.m., and on news sites for sports outlets like ESPN and Sports Illustrated.
