Mediation talks broke down over equal pay between the U.S. Women’s National Team and the U.S. Soccer Federation last week, bringing the dispute closer to a jury trial.

Caroline Heffernan, assistant professor at Temple University, who received her PhD from the School of Kinesiology in 2018, was interviewed on local TV station CBS Philly on August 15 about the dispute.

“The athletes in the U.S. Women’s National League have done an important job of saying this matters, but it’s a lot broader than just that team and that league. If we look at the bonus structure of FIFA and the amount that they pay out to the male winners of the World Cup and female winners of the World Cup, it is astronomically different,” she said.
