American alpine ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin shared her reaction to former soccer player Alex Morgan's take on what she described as the double standards in the treatment of male and female players in sports. Morgan won two World Cups and an Olympic gold medal with the USWNT before retiring from the sport.Besides this, Morgan has also worked hard to help little girls find their footing in the circuit of sports and other fields through her foundation. She is frequently seen speaking out on social issues and recently highlighted the double standards that society has for males and females in sports and other aspects of life.During her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Morgan was asked about this issue of dealing with double standards. Additionally, she mentioned the pay differences between genders and said:"We want to celebrate and we want to party, but we have to be like nice women where we have to say the right thing and we can't curse. It was like going to an autograph signing, having a guy come up with all of my swimsuit pictures, and being like, Oh I just want to add to the collection. We are doing the same job for the same company but getting paid vastly different."
