Judge Rules Against Equal Pay For US Women Soccer Team

In this file photo taken on June 28, 2019 US players pose ahead of the France 2019 Women’s World Cup quarter-final football match between France and USA, at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris. Lionel BONAVENTURE / AFPA federal judge dismissed the United States women’s soccer team’s bid for equal pay on Friday, rejecting claims the players had been underpaid in a crushing defeat for the reigning world champions.

But the judge said the equal pay claims — the central plank of the case — had been dismissed because there was evidence the women had turned down an offer to be paid along the lines of the US men’s team. Prominent US women’s team star Megan Rapinoe said after learning of the court’s decision that the battle is not over.A spokeswoman for the players reacted with dismay following Friday’s ruling.

“We have learned that there are tremendous obstacles to change; we know that it takes bravery and courage and perseverance to stand up to them.” USSF President Carlos Cordeiro later resigned following the uproar, with Rapinoe accusing the USSF of “blatant sexism” in its legal filings.

Feminist leave the group

'The women's case had been publicly supported by male players [...] issued a statement criticising the governing body [...] 'the federation continues to discriminate against the women in their wages [...] '.' -BBCSport That right there shows you the level of bias against women.

Where are the so-called feminists😁😁

The Law doesn't understand sentiments. The facts speak. You get paid what your earn. It's all about the economics; who brings in more revenue and endorsements. The was the same team that was beaten 5-2 by Dallas U-15 team. Just saying
