- UNDATED (AP) — A federal judge has thrown out the unequal pay claim by players on the U.S. women's national soccer team in a loss for the defending World Cup champions, but allowed their allegation of discriminatory working conditions to go to trial. U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner granted in part a motion for partial summary judgment by the U.S. Soccer Federation. He threw out the Equal Pay Act allegations but left intact the Civil Rights Act claims. Klausner left intact claims the USSF discriminated in its use of charter aircraft, and in the money it spent on commercial airfare, hotel accommodations, and medical and training support services. A trial is scheduled for June 16 in federal court in Los Angeles.
