Taylor Silverman is a female skateboarder who has been practicing for 11 years to compete at the professional level. She recently competed in a competition sponsored by Red Bull...in which her first-place prize money was given to a man named Lillian Gallagher.

Taylor Silverman pressured Red Bull via email to correct this mistake...but Red Bull refused to respond. We reveal and react to Red Bull refusing to take a stand. We explain how women like Taylor Silverman are being pushed out of women's sports. We also question why athletes like Megan Rapinoe and WNBA players...who are pushing for gender pay equity...remain silent on situations like Taylor Silverman.
