There is also skepticism about the USSF's motives in pushing for a single CBA. One source, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive state of the talks, stated that the FIFA bonus money issue was being "used as a weapon" against the men's union to make the USSF look like "the good guy."
"The way they want to solve the women's problem is not by increasing the women's income fairly," the source said. "It's by cutting [the men's CBA] down to the [women's] 2017 to 2021 deal numbers."
I think you are right, that’s exactly what it sounds like.Is this just the USWNT demanding a cut of the FIFA payouts that go to the men's teams that compete? Sounds like they're gripe is with FIFA who they cannot influence so instead they're going after the USSF.
U.S. Soccer offers men, women identical deals
