Claim 2: “USA Players Must Give Up Half of Their Prize Money From the World Cup”
DISPUTED
Web search results indicate that the US men's and women's teams signed a CBA where prize money is pooled and split, rather than players being required to 'give up half' as a penalty or mandate. One source specifically mentions the men shared bonuses to help the women's team, contradicting the framing of a mandatory forfeiture.
