Can’t she just bleach her hair?
First Cheetos color hair, now purple hair, What’s with the reddish hue?

Hard to disagree with that. Especially since the US women's team have won four World Cups and the men have won...wait, let me do the math...*mumble mumble*...carry the 2...divide by Planck's constant...
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.

Uhhhh, time out.
How much revenue the US woman’s team generates has nothing to do with how much they deserve to get paid.
If it did, then we would be living in a satanically fair and just world where every one roast in the fire of socialism, rather than in as we are the heavenly capitalistic world where the happy hoi polloi always have so many choices in how to scrabble for make belief roses and honey amidst the shrinking pools of foamy yellow piss that the on-high who inherited their wealth so kindly allowed to trickle down, wouldn’t we now.
They deserved to get paid exactly as much as what it would take to keep them from walking away to more profitable professional opportunities.
Which is?
