[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Interesting. I had no idea they were offered the same terms as the men but rejected it.[/b]

"[The] history of negotiations between the parties demonstrates that the [women's national team] rejected an offer to be paid under the same pay-to-play structure as the [men's national team], and that the WNT was willing to forgo higher bonuses for other benefits, such as greater base compensation and the guarantee of a higher number of contracted players," he wrote. "Accordingly, Plaintiffs cannot now retroactively deem their [collective bargaining agreement] worse than the MNT CBA by reference to what they would have made had they been paid under the MNT's pay-to-play structure when they themselves rejected such a structure."[/quote]
Interesting. I wonder why they filed the law suit based on the above. This case has always been painted as if the women were not offered the same terms as the men. But now we find out they were and they turned down those terms in favor of something else. Couldn’t the women just have waited for the contract to be renegotiated to get the same base + the other terms they wanted? They would have had several years of wins to point to.[/quote]
