JEFFREY KESSLER: So, the women
on the U.S. Soccer team

98
00:05:09,458 --> 00:05:16,083
are suing the United States
Soccer Federation for equal pay.

99
00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:19,958
They have been discriminated
against by their employer,

100
00:05:20,041 --> 00:05:24,708
who pays more money to the men's
team than the women's team,

101
00:05:24,791 --> 00:05:27,958
even though the women's team
are the world champions

102
00:05:28,041 --> 00:05:29,416
and the men are not.

103
00:05:33,208 --> 00:05:36,833
So, merely for showing up
and playing a game,

104
00:05:36,916 --> 00:05:41,458
the men get more per game
than the women.

105
00:05:41,541 --> 00:05:46,583
For each game they win,
the men get a higher bonus

106
00:05:46,666 --> 00:05:49,583
than the women would get
for winning that game.

107
00:05:49,666 --> 00:05:53,166

for the World Cup...

For advancing in the World Cup

111
00:05:59,791 --> 00:06:01,333
and for winning the World Cup,

112
00:06:01,416 --> 00:06:02,708
the men make more money

113
00:06:02,791 --> 00:06:04,541

114
00:06:06,375 --> 00:06:10,041

point in time,

there is a difference.

116

That's just a starting place
in money.

117
00:06:19,041 --> 00:06:21,541
Then we have to add to that

118
00:06:21,625 --> 00:06:24,041
all the other discrimination
that's taken place,

119
00:06:24,125 --> 00:06:27,583
the fact that that the men
will go to five-star hotels

120
00:06:27,666 --> 00:06:30,083
and the women go,
like, to Motel 6.

121
00:06:30,166 --> 00:06:31,958
That's a little bit
of an exaggeration,

122
00:06:32,041 --> 00:06:34,666
but you get the point.

123
00:06:34,750 --> 00:06:37,625
The men will travel in charters.

124
00:06:37,708 --> 00:06:40,208
The women almost never travel
in charters.

125
00:06:40,291 --> 00:06:41,333
I think the last one they did

126
00:06:41,416 --> 00:06:43,416
was after they won
the World Cup.

127
00:06:46,208 --> 00:06:49,791
The men will get
more training resources,

128
00:06:49,875 --> 00:06:54,041
more marketing resources,
better fields.

00:07:02,166 --> 00:07:04,750
is because they are not men.

132
00:07:04,833 --> 00:07:06,583

plugged in, intelligent,

00:25:59,625 --> 00:26:01,291
and I think that
they do deserve credit for that

517
00:26:01,375 --> 00:26:04,458
when we talk about all the
other federations in the world,

518
00:26:04,541 --> 00:26:06,541
but just because you're better
than someone who's bad

519
00:26:06,625 --> 00:26:09,083
doesn't mean necessarily
that you're good.

520
00:26:09,166 --> 00:26:11,625
MADDOW: It's great to have you
here, congratulations.

521
00:26:11,708 --> 00:26:12,833
RAPINOE: I think the way
I am off the field

522
00:26:12,916 --> 00:26:15,125
is exactly the way
I am on the field.

But I don't know, I just,
I don't like that,

546
00:27:05,708 --> 00:27:08,166
like, narrative
with athletes of, like,

547
00:27:08,250 --> 00:27:09,208
all athletes are always talking

548
00:27:09,291 --> 00:27:10,625
about how hard
they work all the time.

549
00:27:10,708 --> 00:27:12,291
So does everybody else.

550
00:27:14,416 --> 00:27:18,208
I think we were definitely
raised that way.

551
00:27:18,291 --> 00:27:20,208
Just pretty standard
blue-collar,

552
00:27:20,291 --> 00:27:22,875
um, working,
working-class family.

553
00:27:22,958 --> 00:27:26,083
My dad's
a construction supervisor,

554
00:27:26,166 --> 00:27:27,791
and my mom's a waitress.

555
00:27:27,875 --> 00:27:30,375
She grew up super poor.

556
00:27:30,458 --> 00:27:33,541
I think that I'm
a perfect snapshot of America.

557
00:27:33,625 --> 00:27:37,708
You know, I'm not from,
like, crazy, like left-wing,

558
00:27:37,791 --> 00:27:41,666
you know, coastal elite family
or anything.

559
00:27:41,750 --> 00:27:44,541
I'm just really just normal,
you know,

560
00:27:44,625 --> 00:27:48,458
regular, small-town
sort of family.

561
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,125
You could look at me
and say like,

562
00:27:51,208 --> 00:27:52,416
oh, I'm the American dream.

563
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,833
And then like, you know,
look at my brother and be like,

564
00:27:54,916 --> 00:27:58,791
oh, this is the American reality
in a lot of ways.

565
00:27:58,875 --> 00:28:00,708
I think we were like 10
or something

566
00:28:00,791 --> 00:28:02,791
when he like, got arrested
for the first time.

567
00:28:02,875 --> 00:28:06,708
Really probably just needed
like drug treatment, you know?

568
00:28:06,791 --> 00:28:09,250
We had this crazy
opioid epidemic

569
00:28:09,333 --> 00:28:11,666
that was just left
totally unfettered

570
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:13,708
and actually encouraged,

571
00:28:13,791 --> 00:28:16,916
and, you know,
sort of, here we are.

572
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,916
I think it's actually
like the perfect example

573
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,083
of having like this, you know,

574
00:28:21,166 --> 00:28:24,083
exceptional, like,
world-beating athlete be,

575
00:28:24,166 --> 00:28:25,708
you know, the,
you know, in essence,

576
00:28:25,791 --> 00:28:26,958
the very same person as this,

577
00:28:27,041 --> 00:28:30,250
like, person who got swept up
in all this shit,

578
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:36,125
so it's like a true
American story, basically.

579
00:28:36,208 --> 00:28:38,791
[cheering]

580
00:28:38,875 --> 00:28:40,958
I mean, I think
it's all connected.

581
00:28:41,041 --> 00:28:43,250
GIRLS: Megan! Megan! Megan!

582
00:28:43,333 --> 00:28:45,541
RAPINOE: Me Too or
Black Lives Matter or anything,

583
00:28:45,625 --> 00:28:49,125
it's sort of--
to me, it's all the same fight.

584
00:28:49,208 --> 00:28:50,083
GIRL: Hi, Megan!

585
00:28:50,166 --> 00:28:51,416
RAPINOE: Hi! How are you?

586
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:52,625
GIRL: I watch you on TV.

587
00:28:52,708 --> 00:28:53,875
RAPINOE: You do?

588
00:28:53,958 --> 00:28:55,958
Like probably every woman
we're getting go, go, go from,

589
00:28:56,041 --> 00:28:58,500
you know, every woman, I think,
is watching this.

590
00:28:58,583 --> 00:28:59,750
WOMAN: One, two, three!

591
00:28:59,833 --> 00:29:01,291
WOMAN: This book,
my students wrote it.

592
00:29:01,375 --> 00:29:02,291
RAPINOE: Amazing!

593
00:29:02,375 --> 00:29:05,416
To see, like, it go
through all generations

594
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:06,625
is kind of incredible.

595
00:29:06,708 --> 00:29:09,125
You can, you know, and to see
the different emotion

596
00:29:09,208 --> 00:29:14,000
in all the different ages
of eyes is really cool.

597
00:29:14,083 --> 00:29:15,000
You know,
older woman being like,

598
00:29:15,083 --> 00:29:16,166
"I know I'm never
going to see it,

599
00:29:16,250 --> 00:29:17,500
but, like, I hope you guys
get it, you know?"

600
00:29:17,583 --> 00:29:18,750
And then little kids
saying it to me.

601
00:29:18,833 --> 00:29:20,875
WOMAN: So, Megan, we really
want equal pay for her.

602
00:29:20,958 --> 00:29:22,000
RAPINOE: I know, right.

603
00:29:22,083 --> 00:29:24,333
I probably won't get it,
but you might!

604
00:29:24,416 --> 00:29:25,291
WOMAN: Thank you!

605
00:29:25,375 --> 00:29:26,416
RAPINOE: Yeah, maybe I'll get it

606
00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:28,916
like one or two years
in my career hopefully,

607
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,916
but, you know, really
it's going to be, like,

608
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,583
for all these little kids
that are coming up now.

609
00:29:37,166 --> 00:29:38,833
McDONALD: That's exactly
what we're fighting for.

610
00:29:38,916 --> 00:29:40,541
We're fighting for that change,

611
00:29:40,625 --> 00:29:43,583
and literally, like, people
have stopped me in my tracks

612
00:29:43,666 --> 00:29:47,041
just to say thank you, and
that's because of this fight.

613
00:29:49,458 --> 00:29:52,083
I mean, it's 2020,
and at this point,

614
00:29:52,166 --> 00:29:55,833
we need equity,
and we need equality.

615
00:29:55,916 --> 00:29:58,791
The beginning of my career
with the NWSL,

616
00:29:58,875 --> 00:30:03,750
I got traded six times
in like four or five years.

617
00:30:03,833 --> 00:30:07,791
I was only making
about 15 grand each year.

618
00:30:07,875 --> 00:30:10,458
Ahh, let's do this.

619
00:30:10,541 --> 00:30:12,541
Off-season,
I had a full-time job.

620
00:30:12,625 --> 00:30:18,208
I was packing boxes at Amazon
for 12 bucks an hour.

621
00:30:18,291 --> 00:30:21,125
Aim for the corners, corners,
good finish!

622
00:30:21,208 --> 00:30:24,541
Childcare was more
than my paychecks,

623
00:30:24,625 --> 00:30:27,833
and so there were
a lot of training sessions

624
00:30:27,916 --> 00:30:33,625
where my infant toddler
would be sitting at training

625
00:30:33,708 --> 00:30:35,291
on his own in his stroller.

626
00:30:35,375 --> 00:30:36,541
Did those days suck?

627
00:30:36,625 --> 00:30:38,791
Yeah, there were times my kid
would crap his pants

628
00:30:38,875 --> 00:30:40,583
and I would have to stop
in the middle of training

629
00:30:40,666 --> 00:30:42,416
and go change him.

630
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:46,041
SAUERBRUNN: A large majority
of my teammates in NWSL

631
00:30:46,125 --> 00:30:47,458
do not make a livable wage.

632
00:30:47,541 --> 00:30:49,875
So many women have had
to make the decision,

633
00:30:49,958 --> 00:30:51,166
like do I live my dream,

634
00:30:51,250 --> 00:30:54,500
or do I, like, have to start
that other part of my life,

635
00:30:54,583 --> 00:30:56,791
that other career
where I can start making money,

636
00:30:56,875 --> 00:30:58,416
I can start
putting money away?

637
00:30:58,500 --> 00:30:59,875
And Jess made
that tough decision

638
00:30:59,958 --> 00:31:01,250
that she wanted
to live her dream,

639
00:31:01,333 --> 00:31:02,375
and she got to do it.

640
00:31:02,458 --> 00:31:03,416
McDONALD: Much better.

641
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:05,750
You gotta prep yourself
for success, man!

642
00:31:05,833 --> 00:31:06,916
There you go.

643
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,250
Now, even though I'm
on the USA team, I still work.

644
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:11,333
I have to coach
just to make ends meet.

645
00:31:11,416 --> 00:31:13,333
Huh!

646
00:31:13,416 --> 00:31:15,416
Wow, I'm right here!

647
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:16,750
[laughter]

648
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:20,125
I need to just work my tail off
in order to make it.

649
00:31:20,208 --> 00:31:21,166
Going to training,

650
00:31:21,250 --> 00:31:22,833
doing things that we
need to do to recover,

651
00:31:22,916 --> 00:31:24,416
and then leaving work,

652
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:27,458
and going home to my other job,
and that's being a mom.

653
00:31:27,541 --> 00:31:29,875
JEREMIAH: Green and yellow.

654
00:31:29,958 --> 00:31:33,250
McDONALD: [laughs]
Like, uh, they're not moving.

655
00:31:33,333 --> 00:31:35,958
How do I tell my coach
how I got injured?

656
00:31:36,041 --> 00:31:38,291
Oh, my goodness.

657
00:31:38,375 --> 00:31:41,541
Kid, you're breaking my back,
you're so heavy.

658
00:31:41,625 --> 00:31:44,000
I couldn't imagine my life
not being a mom,

659
00:31:44,083 --> 00:31:45,166
obviously in this career,

660
00:31:45,250 --> 00:31:49,166
because I come home
to my child,

661
00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:52,041
and he's just such a happy kid.

662
00:31:52,125 --> 00:31:54,583
[laughter]

663
00:31:54,666 --> 00:31:55,666
I have Jeremiah's name,

664
00:31:55,750 --> 00:31:58,625
and it's a Bible verse,
Jeremiah 1:5.

665
00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:00,208
"Before I formed you
in the womb,

666
00:32:00,291 --> 00:32:01,458
I knew you before you were born.

667
00:32:01,541 --> 00:32:02,375
I set you apart.

668
00:32:02,458 --> 00:32:06,083
I set you as a prophet
to the nations."

669
00:32:06,166 --> 00:32:08,833
My little guy.

670
00:32:08,916 --> 00:32:10,916
We want to get paid fairly,

671
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
and we want more moms out there

672
00:32:13,083 --> 00:32:16,333
because it's a badass thing
for--can I say that?

673
00:32:16,416 --> 00:32:17,666
Okay, cool. Okay.

674
00:32:17,750 --> 00:32:21,041
Well, it's a badass thing when
you can juggle being a parent

675
00:32:21,125 --> 00:32:25,958
and getting paid well
for what you're doing.

676
00:32:26,041 --> 00:32:28,708
I have a family here
in North Carolina

677
00:32:28,791 --> 00:32:30,500
who have been my rock,

678
00:32:30,583 --> 00:32:32,875
and I have no idea
what I would do without them

679
00:32:32,958 --> 00:32:35,333
because I don't have
blood relatives here.

680
00:32:35,416 --> 00:32:39,500
They are my help.
They are my family here.

681
00:32:39,583 --> 00:32:41,791
I was just looking
for somewhere cheaper to live,

682
00:32:41,875 --> 00:32:44,458
and then they just
offered their home.

683
00:32:44,541 --> 00:32:47,416
It's like, well, technically
you don't have a home,

684
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:50,875
so you can just move in with us.

685
00:32:50,958 --> 00:32:53,208
This is just like that break

686
00:32:53,291 --> 00:32:55,666

KESSLER: So, USSF makes
a number of counter-arguments

748
00:36:00,291 --> 00:36:02,375
against our case.

749
00:36:02,458 --> 00:36:08,291
I don't think even one of them
has the slightest bit of merit.

750
00:36:08,375 --> 00:36:09,666
So, one of the arguments

751
00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:12,333
is that if you look
over the last five years,

752
00:36:12,416 --> 00:36:16,083
there are some women on the team
who actually got

753
00:36:16,166 --> 00:36:19,583
more compensation
than some of the men did.

754
00:36:19,666 --> 00:36:22,250
How could that
be discrimination?

755
00:36:22,333 --> 00:36:23,875
Well, it's very simple.

756
00:36:23,958 --> 00:36:26,875
The women played more games
than the men,

757
00:36:26,958 --> 00:36:29,583
they were more successful
than the men,

758
00:36:29,666 --> 00:36:30,916
and they made the World Cup,

759
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,500
and the men didn't
make the World Cup.

760
00:36:33,583 --> 00:36:38,416
So, even with discriminatory
agreements, yes, it's true.

761
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:42,416
Some of the women made a total
compensation in dollars

762
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,125
more than some of the men.

763
00:36:44,208 --> 00:36:45,416
Does that make it equal?

764
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:49,958
No, because equality
is about the opportunity.

765
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:52,625
The USSF does argue also

766
00:36:52,708 --> 00:36:56,458
that the men generate
more revenues for U.S. Soccer.

767
00:36:56,541 --> 00:37:00,708
Well, that sounds good, right?
Well, that should be a basis.

769
00:37:04,875 --> 00:37:08,166
Since 2015, we have their

770
00:37:08,250 --> 00:37:10,041

771
00:37:10,125 --> 00:37:13,500
All the revenue they assigned
to the women's team

772
00:37:13,583 --> 00:37:16,375
and the revenue
they assigned to the men's team,

773
00:37:16,458 --> 00:37:19,500
if you add that all up,

774
00:37:19,583 --> 00:37:25,500
the women have made more
than the men's team for USSF.

775
00:37:25,583 --> 00:37:29,708
The highest TV ratings in this
country for any soccer game

776
00:37:29,791 --> 00:37:32,541
has been the championship game
in the World Cup

777
00:37:32,625 --> 00:37:34,625
of this women's team,

778
00:37:34,708 --> 00:37:37,250
not a game of the men's team.

779
00:37:37,333 --> 00:37:38,791
And then they say,

780
00:37:38,875 --> 00:37:42,333
well, the woman agreed
to the agreement they have,

781
00:37:42,416 --> 00:37:44,250
they agreed
to their compensation,

782
00:37:44,333 --> 00:37:47,166
so why should they complain,
they accepted it.

783
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:48,666
The problem with that

784
00:37:48,750 --> 00:37:52,166
is they were never presented
the men's deal.

785
00:37:52,250 --> 00:37:54,166
They agreed
to the best agreement

786
00:37:54,250 --> 00:37:57,000
presented to them at that time.

787
00:37:57,083 --> 00:38:00,500
Had they been paid
under the men's agreement

788
00:38:00,583 --> 00:38:02,250
at the same rates,

789
00:38:02,333 --> 00:38:05,708
these women together would have
made far more money.

790
00:38:05,791 --> 00:38:10,583
We believe the number is
in excess of $60 million more

of apples and oranges.

793

RAPINOE: Well,
he was reaching out

1040
00:50:08,125 --> 00:50:11,083
because his manager, I think,
is like a huge fan,

1041
00:50:11,166 --> 00:50:15,458

LEVINSON: A lot of the times

1069
00:51:25,041 --> 00:51:27,791
when we're doing work
on the lawsuit, it's happening,

1070
00:51:27,875 --> 00:51:31,375
you know, late at night,
after games, on weekends,

1071
00:51:31,458 --> 00:51:34,666
when these players, you know,
have been spending

1072
00:51:34,750 --> 00:51:39,666
100 percent of their energy
succeeding on the field.

1073
00:51:39,750 --> 00:51:42,208
We knew that we needed
to get the attention

1074
00:51:42,291 --> 00:51:47,416
of the board of U.S. Soccer,
and so we wrote a letter.

1075
00:51:48,583 --> 00:51:50,416
We finished the letter
really late at night.

1076
00:51:50,500 --> 00:51:52,208
It was 1:00 or 2:00
in the morning,

1077
00:51:52,291 --> 00:51:54,166
and it needed to be sent,

1078
00:51:54,250 --> 00:51:56,625
it needed to be sent
by the next day.

1079
00:51:56,708 --> 00:52:00,208
There were three players
who, at 2:00 in the morning,

1080
00:52:00,291 --> 00:52:04,916
got on the phone to all 28
of their teammates

1081
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,500
and called them and woke them up
wherever they were

1082
00:52:08,583 --> 00:52:13,083
and got them to take photos
of their signature

1083
00:52:13,166 --> 00:52:16,791
and send it to us in a PDF.

1084
00:52:16,875 --> 00:52:20,250
It's just the tiniest thing,
it's just one hour of a night,

1085
00:52:20,333 --> 00:52:24,291
but it shows what has to be done
in an effort like this

1086
00:52:24,375 --> 00:52:27,166
on a day-to-day basis.

1087
00:52:27,250 --> 00:52:30,541
SAUERBRUNN: Dear U.S. Soccer,
We would like to believe

1088
00:52:30,625 --> 00:52:32,791
that we collectively share
the same goal.

1089
00:52:32,875 --> 00:52:35,208
McDONALD: That women's soccer
in the U.S. continues to be

1090
00:52:35,291 --> 00:52:38,250
the leading program of its kind
in the world.

1091
00:52:38,333 --> 00:52:40,916
O'HARA: And yet, while we
acknowledge your investment

1092
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,208
and applaud USSF
for taking action

1093
00:52:43,291 --> 00:52:47,041
to fulfill its own mission,
the women's program is not equal

1094
00:52:47,125 --> 00:52:51,458
to what our male counterparts
receive from USSF.

1095
00:52:51,541 --> 00:52:53,416
SAUERBRUNN: What happened
during the 2019 World Cup

1096
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:55,250
tournament was remarkable.

1097
00:52:55,333 --> 00:52:57,666
McDONALD: We witnessed
higher revenue numbers,

1098
00:52:57,750 --> 00:52:58,833

1099
00:52:58,916 --> 00:52:59,791

hopeful once again

pressure from fans,

SAUERBRUNN: Feel good? Got
your opening statement ready?

1123
00:54:00,333 --> 00:54:04,208
RAPINOE: Yeah, it's a perfect
day to kick ass, Becky.

1124
00:54:04,291 --> 00:54:06,958
LEVINSON: So, the idea
behind mediation is that

1125
00:54:07,041 --> 00:54:10,000
in the midst
of hard-fought litigation,

1126
00:54:10,083 --> 00:54:12,833
that we would sit down
and find common ground

1127
00:54:12,916 --> 00:54:15,791
and hammer out a solution.

1128
00:54:15,875 --> 00:54:19,791
Everybody cleared
their schedules for three days,

1129
00:54:19,875 --> 00:54:21,875
and we were promised that

1130
00:54:21,958 --> 00:54:24,333
at the very beginning
of the conversation,

1131
00:54:24,416 --> 00:54:27,625
U.S. Soccer would give us
a proposal for equal pay.

1132
00:54:27,708 --> 00:54:29,625
RAPINOE: It's straight.

1133
00:54:29,708 --> 00:54:31,666
I mean, at any point,
we can settle

1134
00:54:31,750 --> 00:54:33,333
throughout the entire thing.

1135
00:54:33,416 --> 00:54:34,708
I don't think anyone
wants this to continue

1136
00:54:34,791 --> 00:54:39,000
any longer than it has to,
but I would like, um, yeah,

1137
00:54:39,083 --> 00:54:44,125
I would like there to be a fair
settlement that, like, you know,

1138
00:54:44,208 --> 00:54:47,208
provides equal pay and provides
us the appropriate back pay

1139
00:54:47,291 --> 00:54:48,666
for the discrimination
that we face

1140
00:54:48,750 --> 00:54:52,375
and addresses the inequities
going forward

1141
00:54:52,458 --> 00:54:56,208
and sets the contracts up
that we don't have to then,

1142
00:54:56,291 --> 00:54:58,208
the next day,
sue for, you know,

1143
00:54:58,291 --> 00:54:59,958

about the two guards

the night he died
by apparent suicide.

1151
00:56:00,916 --> 00:56:02,583
The first day was frustrating.

1152
00:56:02,666 --> 00:56:04,541
It's like Whac-A-Mole.

1153

It's like Whac-A-Sexist,

like something else pops up.

And then just trying
to think and strategize

1157
00:56:13,041 --> 00:56:14,875
how you create a deal.

1158
00:56:14,958 --> 00:56:15,916

who's operated a certain way.

1161
00:56:23,125 --> 00:56:24,750
You know, it's kind of like
you have to prove

1162
00:56:24,833 --> 00:56:27,416
that they did it
and then call them out on it

1163
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:31,166
and then continue
to, like, police them.

1164

And that's the exhausting part,

1165
00:56:32,916 --> 00:56:36,083

the continual policing

not acceptable behavior

move forward.

1168
00:56:50,041 --> 00:56:53,291
LEVINSON: What's so concerning
is the players just feel

1169
00:56:53,375 --> 00:56:55,958
this absolute lack of respect

1170
00:56:56,041 --> 00:56:58,166

and what they do.

And it doesn't just apply
to the federation.

It's, it's just everyone
around them in the ecosystem,

you know,
lawyers and executives.

1174
00:57:08,708 --> 00:57:12,458
I mean, the sad thing is
a lot of these people are men,

1175
00:57:12,541 --> 00:57:14,625

are incapable

1176

or acknowledgement,

1177

in the face.

01:14:17,708 --> 01:14:21,375
from the past president
of U.S. Soccer, Sunil Gulati,

1531
01:14:21,458 --> 01:14:25,166
is that when the women asked
for equal pay

1532
01:14:25,250 --> 01:14:31,708
in collective bargaining
through their union in 2016,

1533
01:14:31,791 --> 01:14:35,708
they admitted,
and this was testimony

1534
01:14:35,791 --> 01:14:38,875
from a variety of officials,

1535
01:14:38,958 --> 01:14:44,625
they admitted that they refused
to provide such equal pay,

1536
01:14:44,708 --> 01:14:46,125
and that's very important.

1537
01:14:46,208 --> 01:14:50,375
They never offered the women
the same deal as the men.

1538
01:14:50,458 --> 01:14:53,041
We thought this was
very powerful evidence.

1539

put into the record

1868
01:33:09,666 --> 01:33:13,750

or sound good.

1869
01:33:13,833 --> 01:33:15,916

she maybe meant that text

for somebody else,

1871
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,500
um, and so I kind of write back

particularly that on the central
issue of pay discrimination.

You can't look

you have to look

1919
01:36:37,291 --> 01:36:41,583
It just doesn't fundamentally
make sense in my mind

1920
01:36:41,666 --> 01:36:43,541

there's a dispute

A jury should decide
that dispute,

1927
01:37:02,416 --> 01:37:07,000
and so I think it's most likely
that the Ninth Circuit would say

1928
01:37:07,083 --> 01:37:10,916
there are disputes
as to a number of the facts

1929
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,958

decided were undisputed

but we did this for a reason,

1935
01:37:31,833 --> 01:37:33,375
and it's going to take
a lot more than this

1936

1937
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:42,541
SAUERBRUNN: I always thought at,

1938
01:37:42,625 --> 01:37:47,208
from the very beginning of this
that even if we came out of this

1939
01:37:47,291 --> 01:37:52,541
and we went to trial
and we lost jury decision,

1940
01:37:52,625 --> 01:37:56,541
that there was so much
significance in the fight

1941
01:37:56,625 --> 01:38:01,083
and so much importance,
and so...

1942
01:38:01,166 --> 01:38:02,125
that's what we're going to do.

1943
01:38:02,208 --> 01:38:03,791
We're going to continue
to fight.

1944

KESSLER: There are a lot

01:38:09,916 --> 01:38:12,166
looking up to all of us
in this case.

1947
01:38:12,250 --> 01:38:13,583
No one wants to let them down,

1948
01:38:13,666 --> 01:38:15,541
so we're not going
to let them down.

1949
01:38:15,625 --> 01:38:16,958
We're going to keep fighting.

1950
01:38:17,041 --> 01:38:18,458
SAUERBRUNN: It's not over,

1951
01:38:18,541 --> 01:38:22,000
and I know I'm convicted
in my heart that it's not over.

1952
01:38:23,375 --> 01:38:24,916
And that's a good feeling.

1953
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:28,791
Shitty day, but a good feeling.

1954
01:38:47,083 --> 01:38:51,666
RAPINOE: So, what the judge
said was that first of all,

1955
01:38:51,750 --> 01:38:54,000
we agreed to the deal

1956
01:38:54,083 --> 01:38:56,666
and it turned out
to be not as good,

1957
01:38:56,750 --> 01:38:59,208
and so you can't just agree
to something

1958
01:38:59,291 --> 01:39:01,291
and then it doesn't turn out
the way you like it

1959
01:39:01,375 --> 01:39:04,750
or the way you want it,
and so then you go back on it.

1960
01:39:04,833 --> 01:39:08,916
Obviously, the point that
the judge, I feel like, missed

1961
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,333
was that we never
had the opportunity

1962
01:39:11,416 --> 01:39:13,375
to agree to the same deal,

1963
01:39:13,458 --> 01:39:15,541
so the men got to, you know,

1964
01:39:15,625 --> 01:39:17,833
do their negotiating
on the top floor,

1965
01:39:17,916 --> 01:39:20,291
and we started
in the parking lot.

1966
01:39:26,916 --> 01:39:28,875
And then also
what Judge Klausner said

1967
01:39:28,958 --> 01:39:35,208
was over the course of,
you know, X amount of years,

1968
01:39:35,291 --> 01:39:40,000
we actually made more money
than the men,

1969
01:39:40,083 --> 01:39:43,291
and which, dollar for dollar,
that is true,

1970
01:39:43,375 --> 01:39:47,666
which is actually a testament
to how successful we have been.

1971
01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:51,375
Say we made $100 in that year,

1972
01:39:51,458 --> 01:39:54,208
we had to win nine games
to make $100,

1973
01:39:54,291 --> 01:39:58,041
and the men made $90,
but they had to win three games,

1974
01:39:58,125 --> 01:40:00,583
so we still,
yes, made more money,

1975
01:40:00,666 --> 01:40:03,208
but we worked twice as hard.

1976
01:40:03,291 --> 01:40:07,208
SPANGLER: If the fundamental
notion is that,

1977
01:40:07,291 --> 01:40:10,666
in order for us to be paid
equally going forward,

1978
01:40:10,750 --> 01:40:16,291
we have to win more and we have
to win at the highest levels,

1979
01:40:16,375 --> 01:40:22,750
the kind of pressure that
that puts on them is, um,

1980
01:40:22,833 --> 01:40:25,583
quite frankly, I don't think
it's remotely lawful,

1981
01:40:25,666 --> 01:40:28,375
