FIFA Not 'Doing Nearly Enough' For Women's Game

Description

(CNN) With the Women's World Cup around the corner, American soccer star Megan Rapinoe called out the sport's top brass for not doing enough to level the pitch for men and women players. Rapinoe and the US women's national team are vying for their fourth World Cup win in France, host of the tournament starting June 7. "For the resources and for the ability that I feel like FIFA has to implement that change, I think they're not doing nearly enough," she said. FIFA has played up its increase of the women's prize to $30 million from $15 million in 2015.
