In May 2020, a judge dismissed a major part of the lawsuit in which the plaintiffs wanted to restructure their collective bargaining agreement to be like the men\u2019s team\u2019s. The judge threw out the request noting that the women\u2019s team had rejected such an agreement in earlier negotiations with U.S. Soccer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe WNT was willing to forgo higher bonuses for benefits, such as greater base compensation and the guarantee of a higher number of contracted players,\u201d U.S. District Judge R Gary Klausner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/u-s-womens-soccer-sued-over-alleged-gender-pay-discrimination-judge-nope-rapinoe-responds\">wrote<\/a>. \u201cAccordingly, plaintiffs cannot now retroactively deem their CBA (collective bargaining agreement) worse than the MNT (men\u2019s national team) CBA by reference to what they would have made had they been paid under the MNT\u2019s pay-to-play terms structure when they themselves rejected such a structure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pay disparity between the women\u2019s and men\u2019s teams may also not be as great as Rapinoe suggests. In answer to some of the claims in the lawsuit, U.S. Soccer released a fact sheet in July breaking down some of the differences in the teams\u2019 compensation. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/u-s-womens-soccer-denied-immediate-appeal-over-equal-pay-claims-that-were-thrown-out-in-court\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16.814207650273\">\n<p><em>The women\u2019s team sued \u2026 claiming they were denied equal pay by the USSF. The USSF later released a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/us-soccer-releases-fact-sheet-showing-womens-team-ashe-schow\">fact sheet<\/a>\u201d explaining that the women\u2019s team lost the federation millions of dollars and yet they still out-earned their male counterparts. The women\u2019s team, while claiming unequal treatment, collectively bargained for their pay structure, just like the men\u2019s team. The women receive a base salary of $100,000 each year and an additional salary of $67,500 to $72,500 for playing in the National Women\u2019s Soccer League.&nbsp;The men\u2019s team does not have this agreement, they only receive bonuses. The women\u2019s team also receives bonuses at a higher percentage of what the men\u2019s team earns, yet because women\u2019s soccer brings in less money, they receive less in bonuses. The women\u2019s team also has benefits like a retirement plan and health insurance. The men\u2019s team does not receive any benefits.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
