Description
In Chapter 9, Jaime Schultz discusses the (often significant) pay disparities between male and female athletes. These disparities were recently brought into sharp relief by the highly public, highly contentious pay dispute between members of the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) and the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). In May 2022, the sides finally came to an agreement that will increase pay for members of the women’s team such that it is now equal with the pay received by members of the men’s team. Reaching an agreement was complicated by a number of factors, some of which have been glossed over in the public and media discourse.Conduct some research on the pay dispute and the various arguments that were made in support of or in opposition to the USWNT’s demands. Which do you find compelling/persuasive and why? How might ideas from the course textbook help inform our thinking on this topic?Grading Rubric Attached Below
