For years, the U.S. women’s soccer team has fought for equal pay. Now, with cooperation from the U.S. men’s team and U.S. Soccer, they have it.

The United States Soccer Federation has reached landmark collective-bargaining agreements with its men’s and women’s national teams that align the teams’ pay and create a unique mechanism to share prize money from their respective World Cup competitions.

The labor agreements follow years of legal pressure on the U.S. federation from members of its four-time World Cup-champion women’s team and achieve what the women had been seeking: equal pay.

Good, the women should be paid the same, considering they're the ones winning all the championships ...

Let’s negotiate Gregg Berhalter to the unemployment line

This is similar to a group project at school...one person does 80% another 15% and the last 5%, but they all get the same grade. What incentive is there to do 80% of the work but only get 1/3 of the reward?

The WNBA will demand the same deal. They are tired of income inequality.

You know exactly the women earned less. Stop lying

And there it is, the dumbest thing I've read all day

Not bad!

They should get the Men v Women to play against each other. The number of goals scored should equal the pay difference i.e. Men 10 Women 0 men should be payed 10xs women

It offends me that I don't get paid the same as a US soccer player. Who can I raise this with?

It’s not that hard actually, I mean who watches women world cup vs men? And how hard it’s to win it or to qualify for it compared to men world cup? Somehow it’s not equal pay.

Serious question - will the team bring in the same amount of revenue and sponsorship? Otherwise this is not equity but posing.

Great accomplishment. You've accomplished yourselves out of business.

I hope we all understand that this was all based on a LIE.

This is absolutely rubbish.

Get Woke! Go Broke!

US Soccer equalizes pay in milestone with women, menThe U.S. Soccer Federation reached milestone agreements to pay its men's and women's teams equally, making the American national governing body the first in the sport to promise both sexes matching money. About time the men get an increase But the woman team already got paid more does that mean the men will get a higher pay or will the woman get a cut? Will never understand why anyone watches men's soccer at all. It's destroyed by constant dives. Women play harder and rely on their talent, not technicalities.
