U.S. women soccer players reached a landmark agreement with the sport's American governing body to end a six-year legal battle over equal pay, a deal in which they are promised $24 million plus bonuses that match those of the men.
"For our generation, knowing that we're going to leave the game in an exponentially better place than when we found it is everything," 36-year-old midfielder Megan Rapinoe said during a telephone interview with The Associated Press."That's what it's all about because, to be honest, there is no justice in all of this if we don't make sure it never happens again.
U.S. women have won four World Cups since the program's start in 1985, while the men haven't reached a semifinal since 1930. "The settlement announced today is an important step in righting the many wrongs of the past," the union for the women's team said in a statement. The $22 million will be split into individual amounts proposed by the players, subject to the District Court's approval.
