Xinhua News Agency, Washington, March 9 (reporter Wang Jiyi) The American women’s national football team filed a lawsuit with a Los Angeles court on the 8th local time, accusing the American Football Association of gender discrimination and demanding that the American women’s football team and the American men’s football team receive equal pay for equal work.

This lawsuit was jointly initiated by 28 players currently selected on the American women’s football team list, and was specially elected to sue on the International Women’s Day.

The women’s football World Cup is about to start in France in June. At this critical moment, the defending champion American women’s football sued the Football Association undoubtedly to shake the military heart, but the American Football Association did not respond that day. Previously, the American Football Association had always insisted that the difference in pay for equal work was caused by the difference in the “collective bargaining negotiation clause” between the national men’s football team and the National Women’s football team, which could not be compared equally in many aspects, but this clause was never made public.

“I think many people around us expect us to become a force to declare war on gender discrimination. I hope we can fight against this injustice and injustice to the end, we also hope that we can strive for more rights and interests for women.” American women’s football player Rapino said.

American women’s national team forward Presse also agreed with this. She said: “We believe that the American women’s football team has the responsibility to become a female representative and fight against gender discrimination. From a legal point of view, we deserve more returns. Through this kind of struggle, I believe that the American women’s football team can lead more women in the society to fight for this.”

The American National Women’s football players’ union did not participate in this lawsuit, but issued a statement on the same day to support this kind of behavior and believed that the American Football Association had the obligation to eliminate gender discrimination.

The lawsuit filed by the American women’s football team lists the data from 2013 to 2016, and thinks that the income of the members of the women’s national team is about one third of that of the men’s football players.

According to the litigation documents, this phenomenon of unequal pay for equal work is more obvious in the World Cup year. In the 2010 men’s football World Cup, American men’s football team stopped the top 16, but the Football Association gave a prize of more than 500 million dollars. However, American women’s football team won the championship in the 2015 Canadian women’s football World Cup, the bonus is 1.72 million dollars. In addition, the bonus for the promotion of the men’s and Women’s World Cup final table is also a difference.
