Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I woke up to some welcome news in sports.

u26bd Equal pay, finally
A landmark deal
The U.S. women’s national team’s years-long battle for equal pay is over after the unions for both the men’s and women’s national teams reached historic agreements on new collective bargaining agreements with the U.S. Soccer Federation.
The current fight over equal pay dates back to March 2016, when five players from the women’s team accused U.S. Soccer of wage discrimination in a filing with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
