U.S. women’s World Cup win sparks Title IX debate

BOSTON – The U.S. women's soccer team World Cup triumph on Sunday has reignited an old conversation about the limits of Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs including athletics.
The day after Team USA's 5-2 victory over Japan, CommonWealth Magazine reported that the U.S. women's soccer team took home $2 million for winning it all, while the winner of the 2014 men's cup, Germany, netted $35 million.
