Megan Rapinoe says she was told 'women do not deserve to be paid equally' in the USWNT deposition by lisettevoytko

against the U.S. Soccer Federation, with previously unpublished depositions along with collective bargaining agreements of the men’s and women’s teams appearing in a Thursday court filing. , the men’s and women’s collective bargaining agreements are very different from each other, with a disparity in bonuses—as well as pay structure—for the two teams.

The AP reported that Rapinoe said U.S. Soccer lawyer Russell Sawyer told her, “Market realities are such that the women do not deserve to be paid equally to the men.” In contrast, when the men’s team last qualified for the World Cup in 2014, all players⁠—referred to as the “pool”—split $2 million, along with an additional $3.6 million for making it to the round of 16, while each individual player received $55,000 for making the roster, as well $5,500 per match.
