Equal Pay?
This article reports about how a high school girls’ soccer team wore jerseys stamped with the slogan #Equal Pay at a game, which resulted in multiple yellow cards for “unsportsmanlike conduct.” I found this article to be very forgiving to the refugees who issued these citations. Ironically, the men’s high school soccer team, who also wore the Equal Pay jerseys were not given any yellow cards. Seems to me that equal pay is not the only issue that needs to be addressed here. What do you think?
This article could be used in several ways in the language classroom. For example, the class could read the article and have a discussion in which they determine their perspectives about the event. Students could also find their own articles about women being treated unfairly in the work place. Maybe they could write a letter to the referees, the mayor of Burlington, or maybe even a letter of appreciation to the women’s soccer team.
Love how they charged men 16% more for the shirts to represent the average imbalance of pay. I’m a little confused though – the article says they were charged with taking off their shirts. While probably motivated by hiding the message – I wonder how arguable the Refs’ case is in terms of violating the rules of taking jerseys off and not wearing anything with slogans on it. I mean, the women should have the right to do as they please and wear whatever they like. It makes me wonder if this is an issue of entire policy change.
Yes same it’s such an clever marketing tactic. and Exactly. The women were given a yellow card because they took their regular jersey’s off and the men just flashed the #EqualPay jerseys behind their t-shirt… I don’t understand or see a difference. It’s like if I am smoking a cigarette with one foot inside of a store and one out or with both feet inside.
