Dash midfielder Denise O'Sullivan does not play for the U.S. women's national team, but she has her own story about a fight for equality.

A veteran of the Ireland national team, O'Sullivan was on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean for a friendly last week when U.S. Soccer and the women's national team announced they had finalized a new CBA after the players' year-long quest for compensation and other resources they deemed on par with the men's team.

Ireland's players, meanwhile, were so fed up that their demands over multiple years were not being met they went to the media on April 4.
