A new filing from the plaintiffs in a pay discrimination lawsuit against U.S. Soccer alleges that if members of the women's national team were paid under the same terms as the men's national team, they would have earned roughly three times as much as their actual compensation.
The information comes in a new brief filed Monday by the plaintiffs in response to a U.S. Soccer filing last week opposing certification of the players' class action status.
Twenty eight members of the women's national team player pool filed suit against the federation in March. They alleged pay discrimination relative to members of the men's national team, among other complaints.
