Well, they just got their ass handed to them!

A judge dismissed the U.S. women's soccer team's equal pay claim Friday, reminding them that they actually make more than the men's team.

The U.S. women's soccer team has been fighting for equal pay for months and sought $66 million in damages. The U.S. soccer federation argued that the women's team was paid more overall than their male counterparts for the particular time period in dispute.

Although the women's team claimed that was just because they played more games, Judge R. Gary Klausner disagreed. Klausner reminded the women's team that they "both played more games and made more money than the MNT [men's national team] per game," the Wall Street Journal reported.

"We will never stop fighting for EQUALITY," soccer star Megan Rapinoe tweeted after the decision.

The claim for equal pay was also dismissed because the U.S. women's national team previously "rejected an offer to be paid under the same pay-to-play structure" as the men, according to Klausner.

"The WNT was willing to forgo higher bonuses for benefits, such as greater base compensation and the guarantee of a higher number of contracted players," Klausner wrote according to CBS News. "Accordingly, plaintiffs cannot now retroactively deem their CBA (collective bargaining agreement) worse than the MNT (men's national team) CBA by reference to what they would have made had they been paid under the MNT's pay-to-play terms structure when they themselves rejected such a structure."

I saw that and spit out my coffee a little bit when I read it, laughed for nearly a minute at the absurdity of taking on someone with one skill, kicking a ball.
