The NWSL and NWSLPA have agreed to a historic new contract.
"It was an honor to be in the room for the bargaining. I was one of five current NWSL players that were present and it helped the league put names to faces and see our true humanity," Pinto told"I think that made it ever present about the demands that we were putting on the league."
"Not having a draft, although exciting in the moment, to be able to choose where you want to live, where you want to play, with all considerations of reproductive rights, tax laws, culture and facilities and everything within a team in a state that's provided, it's so important for the player to have that power back and to be able to choose," the San Diego Wave forward continued.
"That is important to us because it protects you from situations that are outside of your control, whether that be a health condition, an injury or a dip in on-field playing performance, you will be guaranteed that you have your contract through the end of your term," Pinto said.and family building benefits.
