US Women’s footballers to fight for equal pay

Los Angeles: USA Women cocaptains Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe said they will appeal against their defeat in a lawsuit for equal pay with the men’s national team.

A California judge threw out the players’ claims that they were underpaid in comparison with the men’s team.

“We were just shocked- we will definitely be appealing,” said Morgan said.

“If anyone knows anything about the heart of this team, we are fighters and we will continue to fight together for this.”
