Sources: U.S. men's Olympic soccer team won't be paid at Paris Games

So much for equal pay.

The unions representing the U.S. Soccer's men's and women's national teams joined forces two years ago on a landmark collective bargaining agreement that guarantees that players on both squads receive the same bonus and prize money for representing their country at World Cups and other competitions.
