U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro issued an apology on Wednesday for any "offense and pain" caused by a series of statements aimed at the U.S. women's national team while Megan Rapinoe ripped the federation for "blatant misogyny and sexism".
A court document revealed on Monday evening contained a number of disparaging remarks about the USWNT as the players and federation continue to battle regarding equal pay.
The documents said that there is a fundamental difference in “overall soccer playing ability” between men and women, adding that that argument is not “a sexist stereotype" but instead “indisputable science".
