Playing Fair: The Battle Between US Soccer and the USWNT

The US Women's National Team makes a case that it should be paid the same as the men. There are a lot of reason's why they're right.

This morning members of the US Women's National Team filed a federal complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, contending that US Soccer is guilty of clear wage discrimination. In the complaint, the USWNT members, Morgan, Rapinoe, Lloyd, Sauerbrunn, and Solo contend that the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) pay the members of the Women's team around 40% the amount they pay the men's team. The NY Times has all the details here.
