Soccer Finally Levels the Playing Field
In a historic move for young soccer players everywhere, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced last week that both the U.S. Men’s National Team and the U.S. Women’s National Team would be paid equally. After years of disparate pay, this is welcome news for the female trailblazers in the sport, as well as the young women watching them. In the contract agreements ratified last week, payment and other revenue will now be equalized.
