U.S. Soccer files official response to USWNT wage discrimination complaint

The United States Soccer Federation filed an official response to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Tuesday regarding the U.S. women's national team's complaint of wage discrimination.

Back in March, five prominent USWNT players filed an official complaint with the EEOC on behalf of the team claiming that the USSF has built an unequal pay scheme for their team in comparison to the men's team.

The federation's official response claims that there is no evidence that their payment model is backed by a "discriminatory motive" or that they have violated any laws.
