Hope Solo to object to US Soccer equal pay deal

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A lawyer for Hope Solo filed a notice with a court indicating the former U.S. goalkeeper wants to object to the settlement of the equal pay lawsuit between her former teammates and the U.S. Soccer Federation. Solo sued the USSF in August 2018 alleging violations of the federal Equal Pay Act and sex status discrimination. While Solo’s case has not progressed to trial, players led by Alex Morgan filed suit against the USSF the following year. Those players and the USSF reached a proposed $24 million settlement and a Dec. 5 hearing for final approval has been scheduled.
