- While some sporting brands used International Women’s Day to launch their Women’s World Cup team kits, lawyers representing the world-champion U.S. team were on their way to a California courthouse to file a landmark lawsuit that would rock the sport.
“As players, we deserved to be paid equally for our work, regardless of our gender,” star striker Alex Morgan said in a statement, but as she is well aware, deserving such treatment and actually getting it are two very different things. “They are more like a club team in some ways, they play that many games. I think they have proven that they are equal, they have brought success and therefore have every right to demand equality,” she added.
That decision led to a points deduction which cost them the chance of winning their qualifying group, and they lost a playoff to the Netherlands.The timing of the American suit could have been better for world governing body FIFA, which launched the poster it will use to publicise the 24-nation tournament on the same day.
Their squad boasts some of the biggest and most marketable names in the game such as Alex Morgan and Carli Lloyd, and Ireland’s Roche, who plays for C.F. Florentina in Italy, says that she expects the Americans to remain steadfast.
