The U.S. Soccer Federation is facing backlash after it said in court filings that players on the men's national team possess greater skill and have more demanding jobs than their female counterparts.

Those statements were made in court filings this week as the soccer federation hopes to convince a federal court in California to dismiss a discrimination lawsuit filed by members of the 2019 World Cup championship team. The women's team is suing its employer U.S. Soccer, alleging pay discrimination and violations of both the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Team members are seeking $67 million. U.S. Soccer is asking the court to dismiss the case.
"We are extremely disappointed with the unacceptable and offensive comments made by US Soccer," said Kate Hartman, Coca-Cola group director for global brand public relations in a statement.
