Board 8 > Girls get CARDED for wearing EQUALPAY Shirts..and MEN had to pay MORE for them!.

(+) Yeah! (+)

A High School Girls Soccer Team were PENALIZED for "excessive celebration" after they removed their jerseys on the field to reveal T-shirts that said #EQUALPAY!!

It happened at Vermont's Burlington High School when they took their tops off in celebration of a goal scored just 3 minutes before the game ended..and the ref ended up punishing FOUR girls for "unsportsman like conduct"

The teen girls warmed up for the match with the shirts but were warned they would have to wear their official kits in line with Vermont Principal's Association rules..

Supporters then began yelling "equal pay" on the stands and the ref again pulled the yellow chard for those seen wearing the white short sleeve shirts as they admit they got "carried away"by whipping their clothes "all the way off" as they only intended to show it briefly while keeping their uniforms on

But they said the stunt was worth it as they thanked everyone in support and said "We heard your #EQUALPAY chants from all over the field"

It gained the support of Pro US Soccer player Brandi Chastain who tweeted their bravery for standing up for their beliefs as Vermont Democrat Senator, Patrick Leahy and his wife also wore the jersey that they bought..The ref who even carded them BOUGHT ONE.

An even bigger statement was that the BOYS team supported them too and bought the jerseys for 18% MORE in reflection of the state's average male to female pay gap

The money will support youth soccer leagues as Helen Worden said "It goes for everyone, every girl, every woman in the world, it's not just about sports. It's about women's rights for equal pay for equal work"

Do you support #EqualPay?

I too believe more women should apply themselves to the STEM field of work so that they make equal pay.

It's cool that these girls are competing against the boys teams. They are actually playing against the guys right? If not come back when they are. I think gender discrimination is wrong. If everybody competed in the same leagues there'd be no argument for inequality in pay. I'm there is no rule stopping girls playing against boys in FPL. That should apply to all sports and everyone should be pa equally.
Also removing your shirt is always a yellow card in football.
