From the article:

“The overall soccer-playing ability required to compete at the senior men’s national team level is materially influenced by the level of certain physical attributes,” the defense motion stated at one point, “such as speed and strength, required for the job.”

That followed the original motion for summary judgment, in which U.S. Soccer stated that women’s players did not perform jobs requiring “equal skill, effort and responsibility under similar working conditions.”

Referencing the players’ earlier contention that “WNT players and MNT players expend equal amounts of effort performing on their respective national teams,” U.S. Soccer said the statement could not be considered undisputed fact for the purpose of deciding on summary judgment.

“It is not sufficient to render it undisputed that the jobs of WNT player and MNT player require equal effort,” one defense filing stated.

U.S. Soccer went on to allege that beyond physical differences, women’s and men’s players did not perform equal work because, in effect, women’s soccer is easier than men’s soccer.

S~~~’s getting real in this lawsuit. The women are saying the effort is equal so they should get equal pay. US Soccer is saying that equal effort is not enough. It’s the ultimate results that count. And men are better than women at sports.

I hope to hell this ends up in court and makes it’s way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court would either have to face reality or hand over a bulls~~~ ruling that will speed up the demise. I’m headed to the store for more popcorn.

Order the good wine
