NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. Soccer Federation has urged the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to uphold a lower court’s decision to throw out the wage discrimination portion of a lawsuit filed by players on the women’s national team. The federation argued that it shouldn’t be required to pay the players tens of millions of dollars in what it referred to as phantom revenue. The federation says in a 59-page brief that U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner correctly granted a summary judgment to the federation on the pay claim in May 2020.
