United States women's soccer co-captain Megan Rapinoe says any conversations with U.S. Soccer must begin with women's players receiving equal pay to their male counterparts.
Rapinoe and teammate Christine Press appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" and NBC's "Today" on Thursday, a day after mediation between the U.S. Soccer Federation and members of the women's team reached an impasse.
Rapinoe told GMA that it was unfortunate that the talks broke down, adding that she had hoped the two sides could come together and find common ground.
The Golden Ball and Boot winner at last month's Women's World Cup said she thought there were still avenues to reach an agreement.
