A judge ruled Friday that the women's claims of unequal pay weren't sufficient to go to trial.
The United States women’s national soccer team has the support of former vice president and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
— Joe Biden May 2, 2020 President Donald Trump, who Biden is running against in November, hasn’t taken an explicit stand on the equal pay issue. When he was asked about the team’s suit in July following its 2019 World Cup win, Trump said he’d like to see equal pay but also noted that “you have to look at who’s taking in what.”
In particular, the judge pointed to a “history of negotiations” where the USWNT had sought more guaranteed compensation than the riskier pay-to-play structure in the USMNT’s contract. The USWNT “cannot now retroactively deem their CBA worse than the USMNT CBA by reference to what they would have made” under the men’s contract, the judge wrote.
