Members of the women's national team plan to publicly escalate their campaign for increased pay as part of an ongoing dispute with U.S. Soccer.
The U.S. women's national team has ramped up its plea for equal pay from U.S. Soccer, unveiling a public campaign aimed at raising awareness for the cause going into the Summer Olympics.
As reported by The New York Times, players will wear T-shirts with the hashtag slogan "Equal Play Equal Pay" during media availability before Saturday's friendly against South Africa in Chicago. The players also plan to sport temporary tattoos with the slogan during tune-up matches ahead of next month's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and further promote the campaign on social media.
