The women's team has often championed equal rights issues and sought more equitable pay during collective bargaining two years ago.
"I think a lot of people look to us and our team and the collective voice that we have and what we've stood for, for inspiration and for power, and as an ally in this broader fight for equality and human rights, really," said winger Megan Rapinoe, a co-captain and veteran of 149 international appearances.
The 28 members of the current women's player pool filed the lawsuit in US District Court in Los Angeles under the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.The players seek damages that include back pay. "We believe it is our duty to be the role models that we've set out to be and fight to what we know we legally deserve," forward Christen Press said.The US Women's National Team Players' Association is not party to the lawsuit, but said in a statement it"supports the plaintiffs' goal of eliminating gender-based discrimination by USSF".
Maybe when they can beat 15 year old school boys they can look at earning more money!
US president hangs out with owner of 'spa chain.' 😂😂😂😂👍👍
If you want more money, then bring the money in through attracting the crowds and therefore the sponsors.
Now this is getting silly, time for all male models to sue for equal pay with female models, complicated is it not ABC ?.
Perhaps they can play their male counterparts to prove how equal they are.
Good move. Hopefully this will set an example for others around the world
