(Reuters) - Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Saturday voiced his support for the U.S. women's soccer team, a day after it suffered a setback in its gender discrimination lawsuit against the United States Soccer Federation.
The team's claims for equal pay were dismissed by a court on Friday, handing a victory to U.S. Soccer."Equal pay, now. Or else when I'm president, you can go elsewhere for World Cup funding," Biden said to the federation.
The World Cup-winning team's long-running feud with U.S. Soccer has been a very public and bitter battle and the players had been seeking $66 million in damages under the Equal Pay Act. The court allowed complaints of unfair medical, travel and training to proceed to trial, which is set for June 16.
