P&G gives bonus to US women soccer starsP&G said it was donating $23,000 to each of the 23 players who helped the US win a record-extending fourth World Cup title in France. NEW YORK: US multinational Procter & Gamble gave its backing to the United States' women's soccer stars in their fight for equal pay on Sunday, handing the team a US$529,000 bonus following their World Cup win. The P&G move comes with the US women in the midst of a legal case lodged against the USSF in March alleging discrimination. The women players lawsuit highlighted the differences in pay with their male counterparts, despite being vastly more successful. Chants of "equal pay" greeted the US women as they received the World Cup trophy in Lyon after their victory over the Netherlands in the final.
