CNN correspondents Wayne Sterling and Jack Bantock reveal this to the public.
The day on ABC’s Good Morning America, Cone, a World Cup winner in 1999 as a USWNT midfielder, echoed Morgan’s examinations.

“I think this is a huge win for everyone involved, but right now we’re focused on moving the game forward so this is actually a great transition moment,” she said.
“We still have a lot of work to do with repairing the liaison with our players but we’re on the road to that but looking ahead.
“They’re not only the best players in the world, they are incredible ambassadors for our sport and so now that we can work arm in arm together to evolve the game both here at home and abroad and to raise the degree of the women’s game across the globe, I think is really exceptional and I’m really looking forward to swiveling the page on this and working jointly with our women’s team.”
How did we get here?
Tuesday’s agreement marks the resolution of a back-and-forth dating back to March 2019, when the USWNT filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against US Soccer.
With 28 of the team’s players listed as plaintiffs, the USWNT’s assertion that they were paid less than the men’s national team was rejected in May 2020 by federal judge Gary Klausner, who enacted that the women’s side played more matches and made more capital than their male counterparts.

Following the aftermath, two-time World Cup-winning USWNT players Christen Press and Tobin Heath told CNN of their ambition to continue the fight for equal pay, with Heath describing the stakes as “bigger than anything we could ever win in football.”
In July 2021, the USWNT filed an appeal against the May 2020 ruling, announcing the decision “defies reality” and was “legally wrong.”

US Soccer tweeted a statement in response to the team’s appeal, saying the judgment “correctly held that the Women’s National Team was paid more both cumulatively and on an average per-game basis than the Men’s National Team.”

In September 2021, a US Soccer offer of equivalent contracts for the men’s and women’s national teams was labeled “PR gags” by the United States Women’s National Team Players Association (USWNTPA).
“USSF’s PR escapades and bargaining through the media will not take us any closer to a fair agreement,” the USWNTPA, which acts as a union for the players, said in a tweet.
“In contrast, we are enthusiastic to bargaining in good faith to achieve equal pay and the safest working climates possible. The proposal that USSF made previously to us does neither,” it added.
The federation responded to the USWNTPA’s social media post soon after, tweeting, “An offer on paper of comparable contracts to the USWNT and USMNT, and to examine equalizing prize money, is real, authentic and in good faith.
A promotion stunt is a 90-minute one-sided movie.”
