USWNT VICTORY: The U.S. Women's National Soccer Team made history on Tuesday when they formally signed a new agreement that guarantees that the No. 1 women's team in the world will get the same pay as the U.S. men's national team, who is ranked 14th.
Still wearing their uniforms from the game they just won, members of the women's team were draped in scarves that said"Equal Pay." Forward Alex Morgan, who was instrumental in the team's lawsuit against U.S. Soccer, held up a jersey showcasing the same message as she held her daughter, who wore her own"Equal Pay" apparel.
Members of U.S. Soccer and the U.S. Women's National Team Players Association hold up an Equal Pay jersey after signing a collective bargaining agreement signifying equal pay between the men's and women's national soccer teams at Audi Field on September 06, 2022 in Washington, DC"It's so good. It's such a proud moment for all of us," USWNT forward Megan Rapinoe, who served as a face of the equal pay fight, said after the bargaining agreement were signed."...
U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone, the first woman to hold the position and a former USWNT star who won two Olympic gold medals and the 1999 World Cup with the team, said the deal will have global repercussions.this is to me personally," she said, according to ESPN."But more important, what it's going to mean to the rest of the world – not just here in the U.S., not just in sports, but to the rest of the world.
USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski echoed her statement during a post-game news conference, saying the signing of the agreement is a"historic moment" that goes far beyond the women's team. "It's a historic moment for women's soccer around the world, and not just soccer, it is a historic moment for sports in general," he said."I've always said that this team is very progressive-minded and always sets standards for a lot of things, not just sports. And I'm just proud of the team and honored to be part of this team."
