i was watching al jazeera this morning and they reported that the salaries are collectively bargained by the USWNT

this suit is probably just leverage for the new deal they have to negotiate in a short bit

i'm not a legal scholar in this area but i can't imagine a collectively bargained deal could be attacked via the EEOC

Bingo. And they're also arguing, somehow, that the current CBA is already expired or invalid. I think they're just striking while the iron is hot. They generated a frickton of revenue last year, and are projected to do so again this year, while the next two years could be dry.
