US women's soccer team files gender discrimination lawsuit.
The US world champion women’s national soccer team filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation today – just months before the team plays in the Women’s World Cup, according to the New York Times.
Heralded players including Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan and Carli Lloyd are named in the class action lawsuit, which seeks to represent any current or former players from the women’s national team since 4 Feb, 2015.
