The team is looking to reverse a judge's ruling in the federation's favor that was handed down last year
The U.S. women's national team has filed an appeal against a judge's ruling last year in their pay discrimination lawsuit.
In May 2020, Judge Gary Klausner ruled that the USWNT could not prove that U.S. Soccer financially discriminated against them due to their gender.
On Friday, the USWNT appealed that decision, saying in their filing that the ruling "is legally wrong, and it defies reality."
What was said?
"If a woman has to work more than a man and be much more successful than him to earn about the same pay, that is decidedly not equal pay and it violates the law. And yet, that is exactly what the women players on the U.S. national team do," USWNT spokeswoman Molly Levinson said.o
