The Beat of Sports: Share The Latest With The Lawsuit For Equal Pay

Dozens of players filed a complaint in the US District Court in Los Angeles alleging that the US Soccer Federation practices gender-based pay-discrimination in their national team programs. The complaint also alleges that US Soccer denies the players “equal playing, training and travel conditions and promotes the women’s games less compared with the men’s soccer team.” The players and US Soccer agreed to sit down for mediation after the World Cup. If mediation rules in their favor, the players could see improvements quicker than they would if they pursue the lawsuit to its completion.
