Klausner did allow the women’s case for unfair treatment in areas such as travel, housing and medical support to proceed to trial, set for June 16 in Los Angeles. “Accordingly, plaintiffs cannot now retroactively deem their CBA worse than the MNT CBA by reference to what they would have made had they been paid under the MNT’s pay-to-play terms structure when they themselves rejected such a structure,” he said.The US women were left stunned by their defeat on the pay issue. The women had been seeking back pay of $66 million under the Equal Pay Act.

“We are confident in our case and steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that girls and women who play this sport will not be valued as lesser just because of their gender. The filing triggered outrage amongst the women’s players while influential sponsors such as Coca-Cola voiced disgust at the remarks.

Revenue matters if not hmmmmm

While I think the ladies should earn more, the US WNT seem to have blown this case too wide so that it's losing substance. There's no reason to treat our women folk differently when they're doing as well as or better than the men

They are not bringing the same revenue as the male team so why should they have equal pay. How many girls go to watch female football or bet on a game, so how do they want to generate revenue? Abeg dey should go and watch ZeeWorld jare.

sochiazuh

What are they feeling like 😒. People that'll go to field with mood swings and cramps. 🚶🚶🚶
