When New York City nicknamed the stretch of Broadway reserved for victory parades the “Canyon of Heroes,” they couldn’t have picked a better phrase to describe today’s celebration of the US Women’s National Team’s World Cup championship.

That’s Harris throwing pages of the lawsuit into the trees and Allie Long sampling a page, presumably because she likes the taste of justice.

Pages from the lawsuit were also put to good use by the creator of this inspiring sign:

Equal Pay fever ran so rampant, even certain mayors caught a bit of it…

Thanks to Alex Morgan, New York City might also have broken a world record for most people pantomiming tea sipping.

Somebody call Guinness. Or Lipton.

As for Morgan herself, she’s got a new drink of champions:

During the rally at City Hall, Rapinoe summed up what the USNWT and inclusion are all about

Shortly thereafter, she also became the rare famous person to declare that she isn’t running for president.

But that’s OK. Because this fan had a better idea…
