Players on the women’s national team sued the federation last March alleging institutionalized gender discrimination that includes inequitable compensation between the men’s and women’s teams.
“Women’s national team players are paid differently because they specifically asked for and negotiated a completely different contract than the men’s national team, despite being offered, and rejecting, a similar pay-to-play agreement during the past negotiations,” U.S. Soccer said in a statement.
Also among the documents filed Thursday were numerous pre-trial depositions. Megan Rapinoe, the reigning FIFA Player of the Year, was deposed Jan. 16. She said Russell Sawyer, an outside lawyer for the USSF, stated during a bargaining session in June 2016 that “market realities are such that the women do not deserve to be paid equally to the men.”
Former USSF President Sunil Gulati, speaking during a Dec. 17 deposition, discussed the distinctions between men’s and women’s soccer. An American woman received $52,500 for being on the roster for the five World Cup qualifiers last year plus $147,500 for her time at the World Cup, including a $37,500 roster bonus and $110,000 for winning the title in France.

U.S. Soccer Federation Says Men and Women Who Play Soccer Aren't Doing the Same JobSince March of last year, The United States Soccer Federation and members of the U.S. Women’s National Team have been locked in a gender discrimination lawsuit, in which the women’s team allege they have been inadequately paid. Last night, while most of the northeast slept, The U.S. Soccer Federation, which still serves as the governing body of the men’s and women’s national teams, filed a motion for a summary judgment and dismissal of the case, arguing that its pay practices don’t violate the Equal Pay Act and have not, in the past, violated Title VII. Right, the women are actually champions That would appear to be true, because the women's team is far superior. If they were doing the same job, they'd both be world champions. US Soccer Federation revealing their true, sexist colours.
