U.S. Soccer has agreed to landmark labor deals with its men's and women's national teams that will guarantee equal pay for all players.

Why it matters: A six-year legal fight that saw wins on the field and losses in the courthouse has ultimately led to a monumental agreement that will change American soccer forever, Axios Sports author Kendall Baker tells me.

• "Everyone should be really proud of what we've accomplished here," said U.S. Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone. "It truly is historic."
• "I feel a lot of pride for the girls who are going to see this growing up, and recognize their value rather than having to fight for it," said USWNT forward Margaret Purce.

Details: Under the newly ratified collective bargaining agreements, which run through 2028, members of both national teams will be paid equally for all competitions.

That includes World Cup prize money. Under the new first-of-its-kind CBAs, the unequal World Cup prize money that FIFA pays to the U.S. Soccer Federation will go into one pot and be split equally among the men's and women's teams.

• The federation has also agreed to provide child care for men's senior national team members during all training camps and matches, a benefit it provides to the women's team, Axios' Ivana Saric writes.

Members of the Buffalo Bills paid their respects today at the scene of the mass shooting at Tops Friendly Market that left 10 people dead.

And at least four Bills Hall of Famers said they were coming to Buffalo this week to support the families of the victims, AP reports.

• "Those guys said right away, 'We'll be here this week because that's our city. We love it and we want to be supportive,'" said former running back Thurman Thomas.

The FBI is investigating the shooting as a hate crime and a case of racially motivated violent extremism.
