If they can pull in as much money then yes

Until that happens then no

if they were doing the same job there would only be 1 national team

not to mention the USA brand is the only reason people watch womens soccer

take away the USA brand and womens soccer is a joke that draws a few hundred fans

cont.

its like when people think college players should get paid a ton

but the UFL, USFL, and XFL went under

people dont want to watch shitty football, they want to watch Bama play their rivals
>>
They should be paid in proportion to how much revenue they generate. That's literally the only thing that matters. Not how many World Cups they win, not whether they could beat the men's team.
>>
If they bring in the same revenue, sure.
>>
stupid bitches should have gone into STEM where they would be able to do the math before signing a CBA. and asking for more because they made money after winning the world cup is the ultimate cherry picking
>>
>>66745067
they are using that argument but its cheating.
>look we made more money than the men's team this year
>yeah you had a world cup they didn't
>fuck you pay us all that money
wonder what they'll be saying when there's a men's world cup and oh wait

who cares divegrass is for fags don't pay them shit
>>
No, femball is unwatchable
>>
They should play each other to decide who gets the higher match payments
>>
>>66743661
this

2 legged tie to settle this debate
>>
>>66743648

Their pay should be commensurate with how much revenue they generate when they play, nothing more, nothing less.

Brah, the US vs. Brazil match in the 2011 Women's World Cup quarterfinals was the best match I've ever watched.
>>
If they bring in more revenue then they should get paid more but if they bring in less then they get less.

Problem is other women think they should get paid equal terms for doing less such as in tour cycling or tennis.

Plus you can argue about quality, womens football is shite and they get beaten by the U17 on a regular basis.

Pay the players some type of stipend and sell jerseys with their names on the back and give them a cut of those profits too. Nobody wants a backup LT at Kent state getting paid millions

this. makes me fucking sick that places like wimbledon pay the same for men and women when women dont play as many sets, dont sell as many tickets even with their tickets being cheaper and get like a 1/4th of the tv viewer the men get. and anyone who points this out is called a sexist. fuck it to hell
>>
I've heard that the US women did in fact generate about as much revenue as the US men.
>>
>>66747682
In their World Cup year compared to a nothing year for the men's team, in a comparison of 4 year periods the earnings aren't even close from what I've seen
>>
The women's team actually wins stuff for our country so yes
>>
>>66747703
>nothing year

gold cup no? or whatever that competition is called
>>
>>66743648
if their markets are the same then yes
>>
>>66747718
Yeah, that's pretty much nothing for American fans. In general we watch the world Cup and Olympics and everything else is hardly even on non soccer specific stations

Why
This is stating on average the men have a much, much higher rating than the women
>>
>>66747990
>much, much
not even twice the amount, apart from wc.

yet, they earn much, much more than twice the money.
>>
I think they put out some spreadsheet that proved they generate nearly as much revenue as the men. So they kinda have a point.

If it's in a sport where pay is tied to revenue then it's easy to argue that the same should apply for women too.

E.g. UFC, I don't know for sure but I'd expect Rousey gets paid more for her fights than almost all men. It doesn't have to do with who can beat who in the same way Mcgoobs gets paid more than all men even though he wouldn't be able to beat, say, Jon Jones who surely gets paid less despite being better.

The argument that they are usually inferior athletes due to natural limitations of usual physiology is intelligible. For the most part women can't compete on men's levels so why should they be paid equally?

The argument that it's similar to weight class is intelligible. They are the best at what they do given the constraints of an (albeit not particularly well-defined) limitation of natural physiology. The same goes for men. If you are the best at what you do in your bracket of natural strength and weaknesses then you should get paid the same.

not clear
>>
>>66744112
It did happen last year, they made more money than the men's team but got paid significantly less
>>
>>66748051
Yeah they nearly reach the US revenue when they have their world cup year and the men don't have anything.
>>
>>66748189
>For example, not losing to the fucking u17s men's team
Not even that. Not being embarrassed by the U17s would be a start.

>>66748166
The UFC is a bad example honestly, because the pay isnt really based on draw or merit.

Plenty of great, exciting fighters are paid like shit.
>>
>>66748234
I know, but that's more or less the point. You can see it as having next to nothing to do with how good they are athletically and only to do with how much money they make.
>>
>>66748183
Sorry, but not sure how this is physically possible.

Are you saying more people pay more money to go and watch women's football?

For example:

50,000 people paid $60 to watch women play football versus just 40,000 who paid $50 to watch the men play football

?

Because I don't believe that for a second. Either this is due to some accounting error, meme magic, or some loophole to do with prize money and TV deals which is completely irrelevant.

Frankly, no International team should be paid ANY money at all. It should only be about pride and representing your country. Your club should pay you.
>>
>>66747709
Against other women...

It's like the animal Olympics.
>>
>>66747709
Where's the money gonna come from?

I think they've debated this exact issue recently with our women's national football team, and we immediately cucked ourselves into their ungrounded demands. Typical.

We are unironically putting female quotas into our fire departments, despite it being proven over and over and over and fucking over that they are not physically qualified for the job 99% of the time.
Can you fucking imagine being trapped in a burning building and its up to a 90 pound, incompetent as fuck woman to save you?

Our society is crashing in the next 20 years guaranteed.

Pay is based on supply and demand.

You make more money for your company, you get paid more.

At the moment sports like UFC are relatively new so it's not that big of a draw. That's why established sports like boxing pays so much more. Wait 20-50 years and it'll be the opposite situation.

F1 - Massively rich
Golf - Massively rich
Football - Massively rich but they have to pay a squad of 25 + a coaching team instead of one guy so it's divided by 25
Skiing - Nobody gives a fuck

It's as simple as that.

Don't like it? Fuck off and try another sport or sign with a different sponsor/coach/agent. It's really as basic as that. You don't complain and bitch and cry about how unfair the world is. It is what it is you dumb pieces of shit.

Can't stand these pay arguments. Childish in the extreme. Nobody has a right to earn loads of money, regardless of how talented you are or how great you are at your sport.

If nobody cared about golf, Tiger Woods would be living on the poverty line.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
>>
>>66743648
sure, i don't see why not

if they generate the same revenue obviously
>>
>>66748333
Take it from the men until they step up their game give them incentive

Yes, they should make zero because neither should exist.

CAUSE THE WOMEN'S WORLD CUP WAS IN 2015. THE MEN'S WORLD CUP WAS IN 2014.

COMPARE THOSE YEARS, FAGTRONS

This or instead send the women to the men's WC to see if they can do better
>>
Women's Team wins WCs, is full of the best players in the world, is something to take pride in, represent the country well

Men's team is a fucking embarrassment, half of them aren't even American, and the ones that are are my little sawker types that act yuropean

>>66754022
Probably will

>>66754077
>is full of the best players in the world
That's completely false though. You could find 11 better soccer players on any men's NCAA DIII team
>>
>>66747524
they shouldnt get anything more than a scholarship

let them go play in a minor league if they want..... oh wait they all went under because no one gives a shit
>>
cool, now get people to start watching, buying tickets, and buying merch

like they do for the mens team
>>
>>66755522
What are they gonna do? Bitch the men to death?
>>
>>66748292
Clubs hate international duty, it just tires and injures players that are theirs and not the nation's property in that they pay the players wages. No way they'd pay players based on if they go on duty
>>
They should divide up the ticket sales from the economically challenged feminists who blame society for not wanting to pay to watch an inferior product and pay them that.

They already get scholarships and some schools, including mine, give them free books as well.
>>
>>66743648
I say we fix this problem by paying both teams nothing. No one really gives a fuck anyway.
>>
>>66757750
Oh wow, free books. And all they have to do is attend the same class load as you, attend a full time practice schedule, and then some how fit a part time job in there so they have money for food, and clothes, and all those other basics of life that schools don't provide. All the while hoping they don't get too hurt, because the schools that they play for won't pay for medical insurance or workman's comp and will yank that precious scholarship the second they aren't able to compete anymore, even if they were hurt competing for the school. Mean while, certain schools are making millions of dollars off of them. But they get a couple hundred dollars in books each semester so it probably equals out in the end.

as soon as women's soccer generates as much money as men's soccer, sure
>>
The real response here is to remove women's teams and just have unisex teams. Anyone who can get into the unisex team gets paid the higher amount. Equal opportunities for all.
>>
The USWNT is perhaps the only case I agree they should get as much or near the same as the men's team by the US federation because they actually draw US viewers to their games and as a result make them just as much money.

They shouldn't get paid equal for their talent, they should get paid because they bring in enough shekels to deserve it.
>>
>>66748292
>No international team should be paid any money at all

This is delusional. People should get paid for their work.

Why the fuck would you want to live in some fantasy land were you work, make lots of money for an organization and not get paid?
>>
>>66746034
False
Even if the men generate less they can still earn more because they literally have other options that the usnt needs to ou5compete
>>
>>66762000
I'm sure some of the men's players use this as leverage against the NT but it doesn't dismiss the fact the women players should be earning more because the evidence is there proving they generate enough revenue to get a bigger cut.
>>

not surprising in the least. The men's team makes more during their world cup year.
