Procter and Gamble, a major sponsor of the US Women’s National Soccer team, has backed the players in their fight for equal pay, with a public donation of $529,000 (£420,777). On Sunday, their company Secret Deodorant announced in a full-page ad in The New York Times that it would be donating $23,000 for each of the 23 players on the World Cup winning team. Imploring the US Soccer Federation to be on the right side of history, the ad reads: "After all the toasts, cheers, parades and awards subside, the issue remains. Inequality is about more than pay and players, it’s about values.

That's a $529K write-off on their taxes. Big deal. They can take their Secret deodorant and spray themselves with it. It might do them some good.

Crybabies in sports are becoming as common as bubbles in soap. These people are not important to society, they are entertainers. PG can donate their extra money to whom they like but this payment does not impress anybody.

It's also about supply and demand. If you can't fill stadiums and arenas then you can't pay players a lot of money. Trying to make things equal that never will be is a losing proposition.

Its odd. When I look at Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and other pro golfers that wear Nike stuff, I wonder if they are as anti-American as their other Nike spokesman, Kaepernick?

Here’s my little guerrilla warfare against Gillette. I go to the drugstore, fill my cart with P&G stuff, then go up to the checkout, let them ring it all up and then, suddenly “realize” I bought all the wrong stuff and apologize and walk out leaving them to back the “purchases” out of the register and restock all the crap back where it came from. Don’t know how effective it is but I feel better doing it.

I'm going through my house stuff and throwing away any and all P&G products and make sure I never buy anything they make again. The mens team made more because their revenue for mech etc was in the billions, and the women's was in the millions, so no wonder there was a pay gap. Plus they blew off a lot of fans that potentially would have bought stuff by bad mouthing America and Trump. They got what they deserved and even that was way too much.

Sickening! Commercial entities should stay out of politics and ideology. I do not need a diaper and deodorant company to tell me what is right and wrong.

I read back in the fifties that Proctor and Gamble were both Christians when they formed their company. I didn’t find anything about that in my web search.

Many of the poor shareholders find they are supporting causes they oppose. Remember, these donations are not charitable ones, they are P.C. ones, and the shareholders ought to sue, as a group. Corporartions are supposed to benefit shareholdwers , not their pet political causes.

Well now, that makes me sad. I use a lot more of their products than I realized. Febreze, Dawn dishwashing, Cascade, Tide, Swiffer. The list is unfortunately long. Why can’t companies just make good products and be proud of that? Why do they feel the need to dip their toes into controversial issues and risk losing marketshare? If I were a stockholder, I’d be livid.

There is no "gender pay gap" in soccer!
The US women's soccer players were paid a larger percentage of the take than the men were!
You wasted your half million!

Never understood why corporate America has decided that it is a wise marketing strategy to appeal to misfits and freaks who make up less than 2 percent of the population.

For shame, #15! The women do not want salary equity. They want special consideration and extra money, unrelated to the gate receipts.
Perhaps the reason is that women couldn't vote in most states prior to 1920.

Fools! Who's running P&G? Keep donating to lost causes. Real idiots are running things and have all the wealth. Something big is getting ready to happen.

So, it's not America's team any longer. It is the Proctor & Gamble team.

My oldest sister has been boycotting P&G for years. When her boycott began she kept a list of P&G brands in her purse so she could refer to it when shopping. I don't remember why she stopped buying P&G products but I do remember thinking she a bit nuts. I was wrong, she was right and I need to make my own list.

Re#8: Sadly, your tactic will have absolutely no effect upon P&G's bottom line or the people who make decisions for the corporation. Only a month to month decline in revenue from retail sales will awaken them from their "wokeness". The only people who will be directly affected by your filling a shopping basket and walking out of the store will be the clerks and stockers who will have to return the items to the shelves.
