While the women’s national team fought for and won its landmark equal pay agreement with U.S. Soccer last spring, defender Tierna Davidson believes there is so much more to be done. The women continue to advocate for better wages and treatment in the game both nationally and internationally as the team prepares for this summer’s Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
“I think that now our eyes turn to, ‘OK we’ve gotten a good foothold here in domestically and now what else can we do internationally?’ Whether it’s helping other international teams with their federations, whether it’s FIFA, CONCACAF, whomever needs to hear from us,” said Davidson, the newest officer for the U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.
“We’re a very influential voice and we’ve got a lot of power in that sense, and I think that we understand that, and we hope to harness that as much as possible,” she added.
Nah. Women chose to sign a different contract than men. They were paid fairly which is why judge threw out case.
“Equal pay for unequal work, but now we want even more!”
Like getting people to pay to watch them?
It's about to become unequal again...
