SEATTLE — For anyone who’s ever been associated with the U.S. national soccer teams, Wednesday will stand forever as one of the biggest days in the sport’s history in this country.
After decades of fighting on the field, in courtrooms, in boardrooms, and across the media, the players of the American women’s team finally achieved a collective bargaining agreement that grants true equal pay with men.
The news produced a torrent of celebrations that swept all the way to the White House, where President Biden saluted the news on Twitter. But nowhere were the emotions stronger than among the players who fought for this era-defining triumph.
