"The U.S. women's soccer team is blaming the wrong evil federation"by Jeff Spross. Published by The Week.	He has experience working at ThinkProgress. He studied at the University of Texas at Austin.	The target is towards people who are interested and unaware in the topic. "Here's further damning proof: FIFA awarded the U.S. national women's team $2 million for their 2015 World Cup win. But it gave the German men's team $35 million for winning the World Cup in 2014, and $8 million to the U.S. men's team for losing in the first round that year." "Over the years, women soccer players in America have endured slights male players have not, such as poor accommodations (complete with bedbugs in one instance) and cheap fake turf. But the pay issue, right on the heels of the national women's team World Cup victory in 2015, appears to have been the final straw."	Suggest that the female soccer players are blaming the wrong people. " Already infamous for its corruption scandal last year, FIFA is who Lloyd and company should be targeting. "But while the players have a legitimate grievance, they might be aiming at the wrong target."	The source is published in a reliable website such as The Week AND the source was published in a recent date.
