Reporter globally,en soccer is undeniably more popular and profitable than the womens game. When germany won the world cup in 2014, fifa, the Sports International governing body, awarded them 35 million. A year later, when the u. S. Women won the cup, the u. S. Soccer federation received 2 million. Men also make Major League Salaries playing for brand name club teams. Womens pro clubs have struggled so the women say they rely on their National Team income to pay their bills, unlike the men. How are they paid differently . Theres two different pay structures. The men get paid per game. Whether they win or lose, they get paid. The women are on a salarybased contract. Reporter its a pay structure the women themselves wanted and agreed to in 2005 and again in 2013. A consistent salary of up to 72,000 a year and bonuses for wins of 1,350. They also get Health Insurance and maternity leave. The men enjoy no guaranteed salary and fewer personal benefits. But they can make as much as 17,625 for a win.

She played in 23 games for the u. S. When you break it down per game, i think its about three times as much. Reporter two years ago hope solo convinced the team to hire lawyer rich nichols to try to get them a better contract. I said look, you are in control, this is your business. You have to take control of it. And you can be in control of it. But you have to be unified. Youve got to get a new deal. What kind of deal would the women accept . Equal. Equal pay. But what does equal mean . You want the same agreement the men have . We want the same money that the men are making. Exactly. Thats 5,000 minimum. Thats that 8,000 bonus if you tie a game and the 17,625 if you we want equal money. We have to win and perform to even make 1,350. Youre professional women. You signed this deal. Do you look back and say why did i agree to that deal . Or a little bit. But its also when it comes down to it, we just kind of had to be like oh, youre just going to say no to everything were putting on the table. We didnt know how to fight and in which ways we could fight. Do you think you should be paid more than the mens team . Yeah, absolutely. Why . We win. Were successful. We should get what we deserve. Reporter last year the top female players did make more money from u. S. Soccer than the mens team. But their lawyer, rich nichols, says thats only because they played and won more games than the men. When you subtract the bonus money that these women made in 2015, theyre probably making 70,000 to 80,000 apiece. You mean had they not been anywhere close to what the men made. Thats right. Reporter despite being upset at last summers olympics, the women are still number one in the world according to fifa. They say their fight is only with u. S. Soccer, not with the u. S. Mens team, who are ranked a respectable if unspectacular 24th in the world. This team taught all americas children that playing like a girl means youre a badass.

So the last thing you might want to think about now is a giant bird. Well, in england the bones of this bird, the dodo, fetched big money at auction. The dodo was so tasty that sailors hunted and ate them to extinction. Is there a lesson in that for us . Mark phillips reports. Of course concern over the environment and the u. S. Approach to it is one of the main mysteries of what the Trump Administration will do. And there has been a little of a lesson here on how influential people can be. That lesson came at an auction for, as you say, a rare bird. Im going to start the bidding with me at 250,000 pounds. Collection of old bones was on the block at this auction. Those bones once assembled formed the worlds most famous dead bird. The dodo. Dead as a dodo just rolls off the tongue sort of beautifully, doesnt it . Reporter the phrase stuck, says dodo expert errol fuller, not just because did was catchy but because the dodos extinction is so well documented. Hungry european sailors found the bird on the Indian Ocean Island of mauritius in the late 1500s. Within about 80 years the flightless bird was gone. Dead as. The dodo has been extinct for more than 300 years. Yet it is still the most important symbol of what mankind can do to nature if it isnt careful or if it doesnt care. If the dodo and its lessons live again. 260 i have. 260,000 pounds now. Reporter its hard to put a price on a lesson. But auction house owner rupert an idea. Is this an example of mans folly . It really brings it home, that we can have a big impact on the environment. Reporter make no bones about it. Animal and bird species are being made extinct at a faster rate than ever. And that is one way or another our fault, or mankinds fault. So whether were actually learning the lesson, i dont think id like to say. Reporter or whether well become the next dodo. Well, thats a possibility too. Reporter the bird went for 280,000 pounds. And sold for 280,000 reporter about 416,000 with commissions. A big price for a big lesson.

Theyve won three world cups and four olympic gold medals. On the other hand, the u. S. Mens team is ranked 24th with very little to show for their efforts. So why do the men get paid so Norah Odonnell has that story for 60 minutes. We feel like were treated like secondclass citizens because they dont care as much about us as they do the men. What a goal from lloyd reporter carli lloyd is considered the best female Soccer Player in the world and captains the u. S. Team. We recently spoke to her, cocaptain becky sauerbrunn, and their teammates kristen press athletes battling their employers for more pay. It happens in the nba. It happens in the nfl. Whats different about this fight . This is a social movement, i think. This is about gender discrimination. And i dont think that positive change occurs in the world unless it has to. How does this fight rank in some of the competitions youve been in . Its the fight. You know, i mean, we have been in some major some battles on the field, but this is this could be the fight that we are a part of. Reporter the team is made up of the best female Soccer Players from around the country. And for 25 years theyve ruled the world. In 1999 when Brandi Chastain scored to beat china in the finals of the world cup her celebration announced the beginning of a new era in womens sports. 30 Million People watched on tv in the u. S. Goal reporter as carli lloyds three goals sealed a huge win against japan. It was and remains the highestrated soccer match in american history, including games played by the u. S. Men. Were americas dream team. And weve been at the forefront. Weve been at the top. And i think the Number One Team in womens sports history. Federation helped you guys make it to where you are . When you compare this federation to all the other federations across the globe they have invested the most money in this womens program. They have. And thats why weve gotten as far as we have. But to be paid equally, you know, its not about what they think is fair. Its what is fair. Reporter after their 2015 world cup triumph the team was but behind the ticker tape their relationship with u. S. Soccer was breaking down over a new contract. Outspoken goalkeeper hope solo was on the team for 19 years. Time and time again we asked that we wanted to be paid equally to the men, and ill never youve been asking for that for many years . Yeah, we have. We have. Every time we brought up the men it pissed them off, it annoyed them, and theyd say dont bring up the men, dont bring it up. Soccer is undeniably more popular and profitable than the womens game. When germany won the world cup in 2014, fifa, the Sports International governing body, awarded them 35 million. A year later, when the u. S. Women won the cup, the u. S. Soccer federation received 2 million. Men also make Major League Salaries playing for brand name club teams. Financially. So the women say they rely on their National Team income to pay their bills, unlike the men. How are they paid differently . Theres two different pay structures. The men get paid per game. Whether they win or lose, they get paid. The women are on a salarybased contract. Reporter its a pay structure the women themselves wanted and agreed to in 2005 and again in 2013. A consistent salary of up to 72,000 a year and bonuses for wins of 1,350. They also get Health Insurance and maternity leave. The men enjoy no guaranteed salary and fewer personal benefits. But they can make as much as 17,625 for a win. We wanted to compare two of the top players. Salaries vary, but in 2015 hope total by u. S. Soccer. In 2014, also a world cup year for the men, team usa goalkeeper tim howard was paid 398,495. She played in 23 games for the u. S. He played in 8. When you break it down per game, i think its about three times as much. Reporter two years ago hope solo convinced the team to hire lawyer rich nichols to get them a better contract. I said look, you are in control, this is your business. You have to take control of it. And you can be in control of it. But you have to be unified. Youve got to get a new deal. What kind of deal would the women accept . Equal. Equal pay. But what does equal mean . You want the same agreement the men have . We want the same money that the men are making. Exactly. Thats 5,000 minimum. Tie a game and the 17,625 if you win. We want equal money. We have to win and perform to even make 1,350. Youre professional women. You signed this deal. Do you look back and say why did i agree to that deal . A little bit. But its also when it comes down to it, we just kind of had to be like oh, youre just going to say no to everything were putting on the table. We didnt know how to fight and in which ways we could fight. Do you think paid more than the mens team . Yeah, absolutely. Why . We win. Were successful. We should get what we deserve. Reporter last year the top female players did make more money from u. S. Soccer than the mens team. But their lawyer, rich nichols, says thats only because they played and won more games than the men. When you subtract the bonus money that these women made in you mean had they not been winning they would not have made anywhere close to what the men made. Thats right. Reporter despite being upset at last summers olympics, the women are still number one in the world according to fifa. They say their fight is only with u. S. Soccer, not with the u. S. Mens team, who are ranked a respectable if unspectacular 24th in the world. This team taught all americas children that playing badass. Reporter on stage at the white house in october 2015, they were National Heroes celebrating their latest world cup win. Back on the job, they were disgruntled workers whose negotiations with u. S. Soccer had ground to a halt and grown increasingly bitter. The women decided to change tactics. Enter the federal agency known as the eeoc, or the equal Employment Opportunity eeoc . We wanted to put pressure on them, and so with the eeoc complaint it seemed like a nobrainer for us. Reporter their complaint accuses u. S. Soccer of violating the equal pay act and title vii which protects employees against discrimination based on sex.
