Who’s to blame for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team Pay Disparity?  This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes filmmaker Christina Dodson and the owner of Rough and Tumble, Seattle's home for women's sports, Jen Barnes to discuss the complicated history of US Women’s Soccer and their fight for equal pay. They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. Does a “Weak Female” narrative have something to do with it? Maybe the original Olympic games and sports origins rules are to blame? Or perhaps a historic lack of visibility plays an important role.  Join our Patreon! We have merch! Join our Discord!
