His comments come after U.S. soccer star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/megan-rapinoe-reportedly-worth-millions-claims-she-is-disrespected-and-dismissed-over-gender\">Megan Rapinoe<\/a> spoke about the alleged pay discrimination from the White House on March 24.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I\u2019m really tired of seeing them complain about the lack of pay because they\u2019re doing themselves a disservice by just complaining,\u201d Green said. \u201cThey are [just complaining] because they\u2019re not laying out steps that they can take to change that. So, it\u2019s coming off as a complaint because the people that can change it, they are just going to continue to say, \u2018Well, the revenue isn\u2019t there. The revenue isn\u2019t there. So if you don\u2019t bring in the revenue, we can\u2019t up your pay.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re going to keep using that. But the reality is, as true as that is, it\u2019s an excuse,\u201d Green continued. \u201cEveryone says \u2018We support women, we support women empowerment, we support women in the workplace, we do this for women, we do x for women,\u2019 blah blah blah. Everyone uses it to their advantage, and yet these women are not using these people who are saying these very things to their advantage. So then it just becomes a complaint that falls on deaf ears.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.5877192982456\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I&#8217;m really tired of seeing them complain about the lack of pay, b\/c they&#8217;re doing themselves a disservice by just complaining.&#8221;<br \/>Today Draymond talked about his Tweets about  women&#8217;s sports that received criticism from athletes like <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mPinoe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mPinoe<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Layshiac?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Layshiac<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kron4news?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@kron4news<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DubNation?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DubNation<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7iUQ982jx9\">pic.twitter.com\/7iUQ982jx9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kylen Mills (@KylenMills) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KylenMills\/status\/1377422864538693633?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rapinoe, who is reportedly worth over $3 million, complained about alleged pay discrimination from a White House podium last month while asserting that she has been \u201cdisrespected and dismissed\u201d for being a woman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a member of the LGBTQ community with pink hair, and where I come from, I could have only dreamed of standing in the position I am today at the White House. I\u2019m also a professional athlete, and I\u2019ve helped \u2014 along with all of my teammates virtually here today, one teammate literally here today \u2014 win four World Cup championships and four Olympic gold medals for the United States,\u201d Rapinoe said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite those wins, I\u2019ve been devalued, I\u2019ve been disrespected and dismissed because I am a woman. I\u2019ve been told that I don\u2019t deserve any more than less because I am a woman. You see, despite all the wins, I\u2019m still paid less than men who do the same job that I do,\u201d she continued. \u201cFor each trophy \u2014 of which there are many \u2014 and for each win, for each tie, and for each time that we play, it\u2019s less.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know there are millions of people who are marginalized by gender in the world and experience the same thing in their jobs,\u201d Rapinoe said. \u201cAnd I know there are people who experience even more where the layers of discrimination continue to stack against them. And I and my teammates are here for them. We on the U.S. Women\u2019s National Team are here because of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March 2019, the U.S. Women\u2019s National Team filed a lawsuit against U.S. Soccer for allegedly discriminating against female athletes in pay based on their gender. The judge in the case dismissed a major part of the lawsuit in May 2020 while pointing out that the women\u2019s team had negotiated its own collective bargaining agreement and expressly rejected a pay structure like the men\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
