Judge Rules Insufficient Evidence for EQUAL PAY for U.S. Women's National Soccer Team
The lawsuit between the U.S. Women’s National Soccer League and US Soccer Federation has taken a turn for the WORSE.
In an article from Buzzfeed Titled US Women's Soccer Was Just Dealt A Huge Blow In Their Equal Pay Lawsuit by Stephanie K. Baer.
“A judge has ruled that the US Women's National Soccer Team has insufficient evidence to bring their claim of unequal pay to trial—delivering a major blow to the four-time World Cup champions' lawsuit.”
I have to say that this decision was NOT what I was expecting—especially after the uproar over the sexist comments the US Soccer Federation used to justify the lower pay for female athletes.
The comments were so egregious that it forced the President of the US Soccer to step down. He was replaced by his female Vice President, Cindy Parlow Cone.
It looks like the court’s decision will leave the ball in the field of Parlow Cone to see if she will champion the RIGHTS of the Women’s League. She needs to make sure that the Woman’s league gets Equal Pay! Parlow Cone needs to step UP and lead!
CCS Family — Do you think there will be any significant changes in how much the Women’s league will be paid? Or will this just be another fruitless battle in getting equal pay? Comment below.
