adminLOS ANGELES. — The United States women’s football team could boycott the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in August if demands to be paid the same as their male counterparts are not met, the World Cup winners said.
Sauerbrunn, a member of the USA team that lifted the World Cup in Canada last year and a gold medal-winning veteran of the 2012 Olympics, told ESPN that players would not rule out the possibility of a boycott.
The 30-year-old defender said a boycott would be discussed by the team if they believed no progress on the increasingly acrimonious dispute had been made. — AFP.
