Equal pay means paying women players the same rate for winning a game as men get paid. The argument that women are paid enough if they make close to the same amount as men while winning more than twice as often is not equal pay.

USWNT: It’s gratifying there’s been a deafening outcry against USSF’s misogyny, but the policies overseen by Cordeiro were approved for years by the USSF BoD. USSF must change and support and pay women players equally. @mPinoe @itsmeglinehan @AndrewDasNYT @Bachscore @GrantWahl

If a woman has to work more than a man and be much more successful than him to earn about the same pay, that is decidedly not equal pay and it violates the law. And yet, that is exactly what the women players on the U.S. National team do –
