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.
