Apparently they made more per game then the men did. They are saying they would make more if they had the structure of the men’s deal. But they agreed to a deal in their CBA that benefited them at the time with more guaranteed money. Now that a different deal structure would benefit them they want to try to claim they were paid unfairly. All that protesting was a big lie.
Sky screamers lie and move the goalposts to suit their needs? No way to see that coming

I think male models should be paid the same as female models.
It's only fair.

They’re way overpaid. The only reason their professional league doesn’t fold is because the federation keeps it propped up. In a free market they would be in trouble
That's part of the reason they've made such a big deal out of this and why they play so many pointless friendlies. They need the money. Their league is so poor that many of the players not good enough for the national team have second jobs in the off season. The national team pays their salaries. It's not like the men who get most of their pay from their regular teams.
IMO the real problem they're facing is that the rest of the world is catching up to them. the US was dominant at this sport because we were the only ones who put money into it. The Europeans are getting better and better though. The big teams over there are forming women's teams and they're getting coached by male former players. England, France and Germany in particular seem to be taking women's soccer somewhat seriously, and with the coaching they're going to be getting over there I could see our own team dropping.

Klausner noted that representatives for the players rejected a pay-for-play model identical to the men early in those negotiations in 2016. In later negotiations, the players offered a counterproposal with lesser bonuses than the federation's offer in exchange for more contracted players and higher base salaries -- benefits not part of the CBA between U.S. Soccer and the men's union.
I mean, with this info it should have been dropped before it made it to court.

Well of course. However most of the major media outlets are running this story with the headline of "Women's Soccer Dealt Blow in Pursuit of Equal Pay" so the usual suspects are out in force with their narratives.
