Summary
(2:38)The union representing the players on the United States men's national team issued a strong statement in support of the U.S. women's national team, accusing the U.S. Soccer Federation of engaging in a "false narrative" about the women's pursuit of equal pay.Twenty-eight players from the U.S. women's national team are engaged in a class-action lawsuit against the USSF alleging "institutionalized gender discrimination" toward the team. The statement asserted that the USSF's monopolistic control over who can play for a national team has been used "as a weapon" against the players and that the discrimination against the women's team has been long-standing."The Federation has been working very hard to sell a false narrative to the public and even to members of Congress," the statement read.
