LOS ANGELES: The US women’s football team have filed to appeal a district court decision handed down last week that dismissed their claims for equal pay, a spokesperson for the team said on Friday.
District Court Judge R. Gary Klausner said the World Cup champions were paid more on both a cumulative and an average per-game basis than their male counterparts, who failed to qualify for the last World Cup.“Equal pay means paying women players the same rate for winning a game as men get paid,” said Molly Levinson, spokesperson for the players.
The US national team’s long-running feud with US Soccer has been a very public and bitter battle with athletes and celebrities, from Billie Jean King to Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rallying around the women’s cause.

PN can't be blame for sentences handed out by court, says NajibCORONAVIRUS | 'It is the judiciary who has to explain the difference in the sentencing.' Mana boleh percaya, bosskurr. There is an element of political intervention. It's obvious. Anak sape tu jib Of course NajibRazak will praise his stupid kangaroo courts and his equally stupid kangaroo court judges. He is expecting them to free him and his wife Rosmah Mansor and DrZahidHamidi from all their crimes.
