Biete - Kristall » standpoint, Calgary Flames general

Goalkeeper Hope Solo says she believes the U.S. Soccer Federation gave her a six-month suspension and terminated her contract as retaliation for her stance on equal pay.Solos remarks, made last week after she was notified of her suspension, were aired for the first time Friday in the final episode of the documentary series Keeping Score. The series follows Solo and fellow U.S. womens national team players Megan Rapinoe and Crystal Dunn before, during and after the Rio Olympics.?I feel like Im being pushed out, because it cant be based off performance, my health, she says in the episode. It cant be based off anything but they dont like me ... because they know Ive been fighting so hard for equal pay.Theyre going to use my comments as an excuse to get rid of me forever so that they dont have to deal with such a strong voice and opposition to field conditions and playing conditions and pay. I think Im just a thorn in their side, and its time for them to cut their losses.Solo was suspended Aug. 24 for what U.S. Soccer called conduct that is counter to the organizations principles, after she made critical remarks about the Sweden team following a U.S. loss at the Rio Olympics. Among her comments, Solo called the Sweden team a bunch of cowards.U.S. Soccer said the suspension also took into consideration past incidents involving Solo.Solo was among five members of the USWNT that filed a wage-discrimination action against U.S. Soccer in April. Among its claims, the filing said the womens team was being paid about a quarter of what the men earn despite generating nearly $20 million more revenue last year.Rapinoe, who also appears in the documentarys final episode, said she believes Solos suspension might be legal strategy by U.S. Soccer.As a member of the team and of the CBA group and of the PA [players association], Im pretty unhappy with a sort of arbitrary six-month suspension for calling someone a coward, Rapinoe says in the final episode. I think that theres probably some legal strategy going on with it all.Sean Manaea Jersey .
