INDIAN WELLS, Calif. - Serena Williams and other prominent American tennis players past and present on Friday expressed support for a lawsuit filed by the U.S. women’s national soccer team against their federation that alleges gender discrimination in wages and conditions.
Williams said pioneers in her sport stood up for pay equality in the 1970s and that the time may be right for soccer to level its playing field. The best known of those pioneers, Bille Jean King, also welcomed the lawsuit while attending the tournament in the Southern California desert. The work of King and her allies resulted in equal prize money for women and men at all four Grand Slams in 2007 when Wimbledon fell in line.
