US Soccer and USWNT reach $24M agreement on equal pay dispute

(CNN)US Soccer and the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) have reached an agreement to end a dispute over equal pay, according to a joint statement released on Tuesday.

The dispute dates back to March 2019 when the USWNT filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against US Soccer.

The agreement will see the women's and men's national teams receive an equal rate of pay in all friendlies and tournaments, including the World Cup.

Tuesday's joint statement said, "We are pleased to announce that, contingent on the negotiation of a new collective bargaining agreement, we will have resolved our longstanding dispute over equal pay and proudly stand together in a shared commitment to advancing equality in soccer."

As part of the agreement, US Soccer will pay $22 million to the players in the case as well as an "additional $2 million into an account to benefit the USWNT players in their post-career goals and charitable efforts related to women's and girls' soccer."

The settlement is contingent on the ratification of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for the USWNT.

"Getting to this day has not been easy," the statement said. "The U.S. Women's National Team players have achieved unprecedented success while working to achieve equal pay for themselves and future athletes.

"Today, we recognize the legacy of the past USWNT leaders who helped to make this day possible, as well as all of the women and girls who will follow. Together, we dedicate this moment to them.

"We look forward to continuing to work together to grow women's soccer and advance opportunities for young girls and women in the United States and across the globe."

The women should get paid more since they actually qualify for the World Cup everytime

Ask the women swimmers how equal they are to their male counterparts......😏

The fact that the US women's team wins, has what bearing on how much money the men's sport makes vs the women's?

USSF also says the men's team generates more revenue. The women's team generated $101.3 million over the course of 238 games between 2009 and 2019 while the men generated $185.7 over 191 games

Hmm, men play less games, but generate more revenue.

Good for them.

The entertainment industry is an entirely different animal than anyone's 9-5. The income commanded by an athlete is proportional to the revenue they generate through the gate and ads. The idea of equal pay between different leagues that generate completely disproportionate revenue streams is asinine.

Make the women play the men annually and the men should just agree if there’s ever a day they lose they should give up their whole salary and custody of their children to the women’s team
