So rewarding to see @POTUS supporting the call for greater pay equity in sport.

Decades of efforts to provide female sailors greater opportunities in the sport are finally coming to fruition. The shift is happening and it's persistent.

#payequal
β Globally, #WomenInSport struggle with a massive pay gap, fewer opportunities & sponsorships, less airtime, and unequal playing conditions. And when they succeed, women often face toxic abuse online and offline. π£We need the ambition and commitment to address these issues!
