Becky Sauerbrunn thinks “healing process” needs to happen between WNT and MNT

If you ask the average US Soccer fan, the perception these days is that the USWNT and the USMNT are probably not on great terms. That stems in part from the recent WNT “equal pay for equal play” fight in which they alleged inequitable treatment by US Soccer when compared to the MNT. It was part of their wage discrimination complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and what followed was a lot of discussion of the relative merits of the NTs. There were frequent comparisons by fans and media of who had won a World Cup and who had not, as well as discussions about attendance and revenue and which team was more popular.
