When the coronavirus disease pandemic began to shut down court operations in March, the prospect of U.S. Soccer and members of the U.S. women’s national soccer team beginning their much-anticipated pay equity trial on May 5 seemed unlikely. Those odds continued to drop when U.S. Soccer changed its leaders and legal team members and expressed a desire to reach an out-of-court settlement with the players, who are led by Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Becky Sauerbrunn, and Carli Lloyd.
On Wednesday, the May 5 date became history.
Judge Gary Klausner ordered that the trial be continued (postponed) to Tuesday, June 16.
