US Soccer Federation Claims Women Players Are Paid Less Because They Are Inferior To Men
.
In all my years on this planet I've never heard a more sexist and demeaning argument against female athletes than the United States Soccer Federation made against the incredible women that play for the USWNT.
The female players are suing the USFF for equal pay over gender bias. Since they are back to back World Cup champions and lead this nation in soccer, while the men have been an absolute failure for years, it's hard to fathom how they aren't justified in receiving EQUAL pay.
But not if you ask the USFF.
The point is that the job of MNT player (competing against senior men's national teams) requires a higher level of skill based on speed and strength than does the job of WNT player (competing against senior women's national teams)," according to the court filing.

"... A reasonable juror could conclude that the job MNT player requires materially different skill and more responsibility than Plaintiff's job does, while also taking place under materially different working conditions," according to the federation's filing.
