I have no problem with "fairly" but that may be hard to define. I do agree that they need better pay and support.

NONE! They've won exactly NONE! It is perfectly shameful that the most successful footballers on the planet are paid a pitiable fraction of what their male counterparts are paid. And the revenue argument is disproved - the US women's team have generated MORE revenue than the men's team from 2016 through 2018.

Can't read the article without a subscription. I'd be happy to read another source.
