In Quest to Win Equal Pay Case, U.S. Soccer Belittles USWNT Players

As U.S. Soccer and members of the U.S. women's national team inch toward what would be a historic trial on May 5, attorneys for the two sides continue to flood the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California with motions, exhibits, declarations and other filings. Among those filings is U.S. Soccer’s memorandum opposing a request by the players’ four class action representatives—Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Becky Sauerbrunn, and Carli Lloyd—for partial summary judgment.

U.S. Soccer’s memorandum was submitted late Monday in the court of Judge Gary Klausner, who is presiding over the litigation.
