Former U.S. women's national team goalkeeper Hope Solo has hit out at Megan Rapinoe, accusing the forward of leading the team to sign a "less-than-equal" collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with U.S. Soccer in 2017.
The USWNT is currently engaged in a lawsuit against U.S. Soccer, accusing the federation of discriminating against the team due to their gender.
In May 2020, a federal judge ruled in U.S. Soccer's favor over the team's pay discrimination claim, basing part of his ruling on the fact that the USWNT agreed to the CBA that they later attempted to overturn.
