USWNT files complaint with EEOC, accuses U.S Soccer of wage discrimination

Players take united stance once more about inequalities by USSF, this time in regards to unequal pay.

The United States Women’s Soccer Team (WNT) has filed a complaint against U.S. Soccer with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

The complaint, which was announced on Thursday, March 31, accuses U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) of failing to pay the WNT wages equal to those of the U.S. Men’s National Team (MNT) for equal performances.

Five members of the WNT—Co-Captains Carli Lloyd and Becky Sauerbrunn, Hope Solo, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan—filed the complaint, although Sauerbrunn said they are merely representatives for the team.
