which the federation should definitely publicize.

Among other things, the women - even if not selected - get health care and the federation pays their league salaries.

The women's CBA basically allows them to be full time soccer players in a world where they could not otherwise devote 100% of their time to soccer.

Because, let’s be honest, without that, there will never be equal pay in soccer.
