By viewership and advertising the women's team is actually earning more than the men's team. So hey, they earn it, they should get part of the keep, that's capitalism.

Yes, if it the women's US Soccer team takes home more revenue than the men's, then I really don't think anyone would be opposed to women getting paid more.

But yeah, ignoring the skill fact, as long as they take home more equal revenue, no one would complain if women earned equal

Then why don't women watch women's sports? The reason Anthony Davis will make so much money is because of the TV contracts and the fact that millions of people watch the nba.

Oh, if that's true then fuck it. Women are being stupid as usual. If otherwise, I see no reason why men and women's team shouldn't be paid the same.
>>
>>66959933
First of all it is true. They compared 2015 to 2015 even though the WC's are in different years

Second of all, there's still a difference with how the women have a salary in the first place. Without the USSF, the men have a club that pay them salaries that are supposed to be matched. But MLS doesn't have a WMLS where female players play (or a WBundesliga or Lady EPL). They all play in the NWSL, which is entirely run by the USSF. Without the USSF, these women would make nothing. There is 0 demand for women's soccer
>>

I don't understand how people don't get this.
>Clearly biased reporting in terms of revenues because the 4 year cycles would skew way in favor of the men
>unlike the USMNT, the USWNT is entirely subsidized by the USSF because their league would literally dissolve if it was required to pay their players wages.

I mean, wasn't it like 550million for the men over the 4 years vs like 40mil for the women?

>>66960509
If you figure out why people don't get it, tell me. It's really damaging my faith in humanity that something this simple is being talked about so much. It seems to me like professional sports revolve around simple facts:

1)A league/sport is worth nothing if people don't want to watch it
2) Player salaries within a sport rise with the player's skill level because
3) The best way for a team to make money is to win

There's nothing here that goes for paying the USWNT as much as the USMNT. People bitch about athletes being overpaid (how they are overpaid is unclear), but enforcing a salary that pays women more than what they bring in makes sense? What fact of life is being ignored?

6 hrs ago and pretty sure bait. But I'm bored so fuck it.

Saying there's a women's equivalent and that the women's is equivalent is just a statement made by people who want equality just to say they fought for it.

These women's sports have distanced themselves from reality so much that even the slightest accomplishment, such as Carli Lloyd barely kicking a ball 50 yards while a Japanese keeper scrambles and falls down like something out of the Big Green, is considered an amazing play. I mean shit, I've seen it done 3 times in person from 12 to 14 year olds when I played.

If you think women's sports are in any way equal to men's with the exception of maybe 3, you are beyond delusional and need to seek psychological help immediately.
