U.S. Soccer offers identical contracts to USMNT and USWNT
The U.S. Soccer Federation has taken a big step in the equal pay fight surrounding its two senior national teams. Now, we'll see if it's what both teams want.
U.S. Soccer announced Tuesday that it has offered identical contract proposals to the United States Women's National Team Players Association and the United States National Soccer Team Players Association (which represents the USMNT), with the goal of uniting the two teams under a single collective bargaining agreement.
In its release, the federation said this about the offer:
U.S. Soccer firmly believes that the best path forward for all involved, and for the future of the sport in the United States, is a single pay structure for both senior national teams. This proposal will ensure that USWNT and USMNT players remain among the highest paid senior national team players in the world, while providing a revenue sharing structure that would allow all parties to begin anew and share collectively in the opportunity that combined investment in the future of U.S. Soccer will deliver over the course of a new CBA.
If either party does not agree to the proposal, U.S. Soccer says it will invite each union to sit in on negotiations between its counterpart and the federation for full transparency.

USWNT blasts US Soccer's identical contract offer 'PR stunt' as equal pay fight continues
USWNT players union calls offer a PR stunt
The USWNTPA replied to the public announcement of the offer on Tuesday via Twitter. The group called it a PR stunt and again reiterated its belief the federation was not bargaining in good faith.
"USSF's PR stunts and bargaining through the media will not bring us any closer to a fair agreement. In contrast, we are committed to bargaining in good faith to achieve equal pay and the safest working conditions possible. The proposal that USSF made recently to us does neither."
