Orlando Pride star Alex Morgan is among five U.S. women's national team soccer players pushing for sweeping changes that would eliminate a gender pay gap.

"There's cases, I wouldn't say the same as this, but cases where players individually have made a stance and rules and laws of the game have been changed.
