Fuck the NWSL. Stupid fucking cunts get subsidized by the USSF, then have the balls to complain that they aren't getting paid enough to play in a league that's not making money.
And to top it off, it's only purpose is so that the USWNT, which is already run like a club (the players get salaries from USSF, benefits, time off, etc.) can have a domestic league to play in, so we can keep dominating other countries.

>>66919405
This is going to be a little long, so bear with me here. 4Chan's got some character limits, so this is post 1.
First of all, winning the WWC means almost nothing in this conversation. It's all about revenue generated.
If you want to come at this from the "moral" perspective in terms of "deserving money" based on talent level, let me remind you that the WNT lost in 2012 to the U-17 MNT (16 and younger amateur men's team)
in a friendly 8-2.
From a purely talent perspective, those amateur boys "should" make more money. But, it's not about how good you are, but how much money you can generate. I could be an extremely talented singer. But if I don't generate revenue, it's Kanye who brings in the big bucks.
Even if you were to argue that the WNT out-performs the USMNT inside their own sphere (which they do, even if the MNT would smash the WNT head-to-head), the money that they get from the tournament comes not from USSF, but from FIFA. The WWC generates a tiny fraction of that the WC makes, and USSF takes what FIFA + sponsors give them, and gives it to the USWNT. The WWC generated very little money in comparison to the WC. THAT is why the USWNT didn't get much money for winning, while the USMNT got more money for getting to the knockout stages. Certainly wasn't "muh patriarchy".
>>66919632
>>66919405
Part 2
Secondly, the WNT gets less money because they signed a CBA agreement that was structured differently than the MNT.
When the Women signed a CBA back in 2005, they decided to forgo larger per-game appearance bonuses for guaranteed salaries, healthcare, maternity leave, etc. for their players. Why? Because there was no Women's league, and the ones that tried to get off the ground failed miserably, so the USWNT favored stability over greater potential earnings. Nothing wrong with that.
Yes, they generated more "revenue" than the USMNT in 2015, forgetting for the moment that this is skewed towards their favor (USMNT's worst year, Women's highest grossing year because it's a WC year), but, the costs to run the USWNT are significantly higher. Why? Subsidizing NWSL, and paying salaries and benefits.
In the Men's game, the players are given a bonus for appearing in a game (not just making a roster, like the USWNT). Other than that, USSF doesn't subsidize MLS, nor does it pay wages.
Thirdly, I agree that USSF certainly needs to be a little more transparent with their books. Exactly what parts of their program cost how much, and where do they get their money? As a non-profit, they aren't giving it away to executives or shareholders, but how much, for example, is Soccer United Marketing (SUM) charging for their services? Could the USSF get a better deal from another marketing services provider? We only know if they show their books a little more. For all we know, they may not separate WNT and MNT costs, and they may not separate their revenue streams either. If the next CBA is based on revenue generated by each team (as it should be), USSF needs to keep track.

>>66919672
Part 3
I do not mind the USWNT trying to negotiate a new CBA. That's what this is all about, trying to get leverage in the 2016 CBA negotiations.
I do take offence to the blatant lying and misrepresentation of the facts.
For example, using a WWC year (highest WNT revenue year every single cycle) and comparing it to the MNT's worst year every cycle (the wear-out from the WC, always a dip in revenue), and not making that crucial distinction.
Not making the distinction that USSF gets WC/WWC money from FIFA. No control over how much that is.
Not mentioning that they get salaries and other benefits that the USMNT doesn't. And therefor have significantly higher costs.
Not mentioning that the USWNT is given long "victory tours" at the end of every WWC and Olympics (regardless if they won or not), because USSF is trying to generate as much interest/revenue as possible. And even then, the MNT in 2015 out-drew the 2015 WWC champion WNT 40K-23K fans/game.
If I were a CEO, and I said that the company made 1 million dollars in 2015, so I deserve a bonus... but forgot to mention that we lost 1 million dollars the previous year, that's a morally-wrong way to present a situation.
>>66919632
>>66919672
Thanks for post. Lots of soccer podcasts i listen to just give the pro-uswnt side, when they talk about it.
Want nothing more than success for the teams, men and women, but strong arming to get more money might not be the best play.
Probably the popularity is pushing them to do it now, rather than later.
>>66919632
>>66919405
>>66919672
>>66919738
Finally, please, don't post something hastily. If you post Grant Wahl's BS 4-year cycle numbers, I'm going to point out that they neglect to give the USMNT 15 million dollars right off the bat for participation in the Copa Centennario in 2015. And, like all revenue numbers, fail to take costs into account.
USSF is projected to lose money in 2 or 3 of the years in the coming 4-year cycle. How is that happening if not the USWNT is costing significantly more than the revenue that they generate? Perhaps USSF is just terribly run, but I'm going to bet that that's not the case.
>>66919763
Copa is this year, 2016, sorry for the typo.
>>66919753
I agree, this is a shrewd move by the USWNT. Problem is, the WNT scene is extremely uncompetitive. We could field a team of college players and not only qualify, but do extremely well. Legitimately not even kidding, we could do that. This means that the WNT's ultimate weapon, which is the best players refusing to play, is basically ineffective. Their only chance is to try to whip up public sentiment into a frenzy and hope that USSF backs down.
I don't think it's going to work. And what's worse. Instead of merely being a shrewd business/negotiation tactic, I think the WNT players ACTUALLY BELIEVE that they are being treated extremely unjustly.
Per-diems could be more equal, as could travel accommodations. Fields are always a tough one, because the USWNT doesn't go out of the US for friendlies often, and they don't have a CHOICE to play on a turf field if it's the only field available.
Women kicking a ball, who are only able to get paid doing this BECAUSE they are women (and hence can exclusively play against women), should not feel to aggrieved about anything. They have the right, like anyone, to stop what you are doing and do something else if they want to get paid more money. Just because other people earn more doesn't mean you necessarily DESERVE more.
>>66919489
FYI, the Australian Men's team would wipe the floor with the WNT. And, them winning the WC would be infinitely harder and more impressive than us winning the WWC.
>>66919738
>blatantly lying
Nah, bruh. Women's team did better in their WC year than the USMNT does ANY year, leaving out for a moment any MLS profits. From strictly international competition, these are facts.
Is the CBA wacked? Sure, but as you yourself say, it was created when there was no women's league. So they have less money, they can't promote themselves, and the powers that be say, "We won't market this, no one wants to see it."
To use an example, this is the same bullshit argument as, say, superhero movies starring women. "Everytime we make one, they bomb, no one wants to see it," they say, then site terrible movies as examples. Meanwhile The Hunger Games was out tearing up the box office.
US Women, the USWNT, and the NWSL, are not fucking Aeon Flux. They are the got-damn Hunger Games, and if you build it, they will come.
>>66919821

So, you forgot that the USWNT lost to an amateur boys team? 8-2? That whenever WNT's play teams made up of men, they get shit on?
http://www.thelocal.se/20130116/45646
Here's a local Swedish club, AIK (one of the perennially good Swedish teams) and their U-17 boys team beating the Swedish WNT 3-0.
http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/uswnt-vs-u-17-usmnt.1939180/
USWNT getting beat 8-2. Apparently often lose to U-15 teams as well. Can't be bothered to search for that, so disregard that if you'd like.
Here's some stats on the USWNT's costs/revenues.
http://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2016/3/8/11182834/uswnt-made-bank-in-2015
But, even if it were true that the WNT generated more revenue in a single year than any single year for the MNT (I don't see a source on that), you not only fail to take into account the increased costs, but you fail to take into account that the MNT are about to participate in the Copa Centenario, the automatic 15 million in revenue of which has not been included in any USSF projections because of the US DOJ case against CONCACAF/CONMEBOL (they weren't sure if the tournament was going to go ahead). Which, coupled with the friendlies and WCQ in 2016, of course means that the MNT will make more money than the USWNT's 2015 WC year. But THEY won't suddenly make more money either!
The last few times Women's leagues got made after WC 1999, still the most iconic WWC ever, they flopped. The latest flopped a few years before the NWSL.
The difference between the Hunger Games and the USWNT is that USSF is a non-profit. They can't take a massive loss funding a dud if they don't have enough money from previous years to cover the costs. They make and lose money each and every other year, so they can't recoup a big loss.
And, they wouldn't make a big bet on Women's soccer either. It's the Men's game that attracts the viewers, money, and sponsorship, while the NWSL can't even get a sponsor.
>>66919923
This >>66919909 dude is literally retarded. How do you fuck up TWICE in the same thread?
>>66919909
And for the record, most of the other football/soccer federations put almost nothing into the Women's game. The USSF is unusual in its funding of the USWNT. And it speaks to the lack of quality in the Women's game that random Australians can qualify for the WC with basically zero support from their Federation.
Hell, the existence of that god-awful Thai team proves that even moreso.
>>66920044

>>66920056
>being retarded
Your entire POV seems to be built around women losing to their male counterparts. This has nothing to do with anything going on ITT or in soccer.
Men don't play women in literally any other sport, not even tennis. That doesn't mean you can't still watch the game, or that you shouldn't want to. The game is its own set of rules in nuances, not as distant as, say, American football vs Australian rules football, but it's comparing apples to oranges and you're calling me retarded for not agreeing that apples are always better than oranges. It's like you're not even paying attention.
>>66920115
It's not. Read my multiple posts on the topic.>>66919632
>>66919672
>>66919738
The USWNT has a contract with their employer, USSF. The pay structure is different from the MNT, and their revenues from the WWC are significantly less than the MNT. Boom, that's the pay disparity.
OK that's out of the way. On to the future. The WNT will get more money in the next CBA coming up. That's a given. The payment structure may change as a result. It may change to be similar to the men's, but considering the USSF will continue to fund the NWSL, that likely won't change.
That's out of the way now too. So, what are you on about? You think the USSF needs to invest more money? You think they aren't investing enough? What? I've approached this issue from multiple angles. You're still talking, but I don't understand what your point is? My issue is not with the WNT players making more money. My issue is with their intentional mis-representation of the current situation. Which you'd know if you'd bothered to read anything I wrote.
>It's like you're not even paying attention
You're literally not saying anything. You take up no stance. You don't bother to read my posts.
Hell, don't bother responding, I've said all that needs to be said. Goodnight.
>>66920177
The CBA was created when there was no league. So now that there is, they are already underpaid.
The woman make less money because it is not marketed, not sold, not given the push MLS was when it started 20 years ago. Your stance is "they deserve what they get," and my stance is, "They could get better if they got the promotion the men do."
It's a quality product, you're just hating on it to hate on it.
And the USL is still shit, too. But that and NWSL are a cheap way to get drunk and watch soccer.
>>66920189
I'm being sucked right back in. The USSF NEVER PAID THE SALARIES OF MLS PLAYERS. In fact, even though we were trying to get a bid for the WC, we had a College team qualify for Italia 1990. '94 was slightly subsidized by USSF, but mostly players paid their own way like in 1990. We had an indoor pro league that some guys played in, and others played in Europe.
I think the crucial hangup is MLS vs NWSL. MLS was funded by billionaires like Lamar Hunt and Robert Kraft. From the beginning to now. Same guys. USSF tried to make the WPSL a little while ago. Raised money, and folded after 2 seasons. Then they make NWSL in 2012 trying to capture momentum from 2012 Olympics. They piggyback off of existing MLS clubs (aka billionaire owners like MLS), and are still alive.
If the players want to make more money, play in the good leagues like Sweden, France, Germany. That's where the top players play.
They could get paid more if the USSF gave them more money and promoted them. But they won't. Because whereas when creating MLS we could stabilize pro soccer in the US (for any gender), host a WC, and get the backing of billionaires to pay for it, the promise of the NWSL is nothing close to that.
I've tried watching multiple Thorn games and a Sky Blue game. The quality of play is too low. Without nationalism, most womens's soccer games are unwatchable outside of the top nations.
Like, I don't give a hoot one way or the other if the NWSL is successful or not. I just won't feel sorry for them when their existence is owed to USSF, and it's in their best interests to try to get as much money/exposure from it as possible. So if your promotion theory were in any way viable, they'd do it. Otoh, NWSL had no sponsor for 2015 That nobody has bought in is sad.
>>66920291
>if players want to make more money, play in good leagues
How does the NWSL get good? Same way the NASL gets good. More players, more support, better product.

If the USSF thinks the NWSL is a good investment, they'll give them more money. They probably don't, so the onus will be on investors and MLS clubs to put THEIR money on the line.
> League has embarrassing marketing problem that contributes to its continuing financial woes
> They expanded so they're fine
Oh, okay. Sure then.
> How does the NWSL get better? Give it more money
Yes. But the USSF clearly won't be the ones to do that. If they survive and thrive, that's great, but the USSF is under no obligation to hand-hold them moreso than they already have been doing (as in more monetary support than MLS ever got) for years already. And they plan on doing so in the future it seems. We'll see if the owners have enough patience for losses.

No no no, you don't get to whine that people won't show up to an inferior product because of "muh misoginy". WNBA games don't draw fans in either (http://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/sideline/2015-wnba-season-sees-lowest-fan-attendance-league-history). They have the same problem as the NWSL, namely that there is a superior product out there that happens to be played by the men.
CBB outdraws the WNBA. Superior positioning of stadiums, and superior marketing, possibly superior product (I've never heard of pro WNBA teams playing college teams, who knows).
Triple-A and other pro minor league teams don't get the fans of a MLB franchise. Why? Worse product, don't have big, marketable players.
There are loads of professional leagues that don't get attendance. I'm under no obligation to have to care. To have to show up to watch an inferior product just because other products are doing better.
The fact is, the soccer fanbase in the USA is attracted to two things. Quality of play, and name recognition. That's why Euro teams with no connection to the US are able to draw huge crowds, and make large amounts of money in the US.
Unlike more established sports, there's not as much "place" recognition (as in rooting for a team because it's local). So the above two are the only things that put butts in seats.
NWSL doesn't accomplish enough of either to make me (or most) want to watch.
Back to Tumblr with your "all dese white dudes". Oregon and Washington have the highest concentrations of "too many white dudes" in the country. Yet 2 NWSL teams are there.

>>66925397
Keeping the 2/II teams in town is dumb, nobody goes to the games
Seattle and Portland were the only reserve teams to post decent attendances last season, and only because they're both fucking crazy for soccer
>>66926512
and apparently the Real Monarchs, but their average got a huge boost from a single game last year where they got 14K fans somehow.....was it a double-header with RSL?
>>66926574
That and they got to see someone almost die a few weeks back
>>66926634
That was fucking crazy
We (STLFC) were at a watch party for that game, and the YouTube stream was constantly buffering, so we hopped directly from an impending throw-in, to a shot of the guy on the ground, teammates surrounding him, then another pause before suddenly players on BOTH teams are helping the paramedics rush the stretcher across the pitch
Announcers didn't have a clue what happened either, so it wasn't until a considerable amount of time afterwards that news trickled in via Twitter that he'd had a goddamn seizure on the field
>>66926512
Eh, maybe. The 2 sides are youth teams, so it makes some sense.
>>66926634
Go on...
>>66926512
Agreed. The 2 teams should be in smaller cities.
>>66926896
If St. Louis gets an MLS team, will that fill the hole of the Rams leaving? Could they pull a good crowd?
>>66926985
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3n4GRt6UBE
skip ahead to 45:30
>>66927054
St.Louis is still a baseball town, but I could see them bringing in about 25,000 a match
>>66927054
not a like-for-like exchange, especially since they play in different seasons
Soccer Park sold out for the home opener this past weekend (announced attendance just shy of 5600), I'd say we could reliably pull good crowds for MLS
>>66927101
when I hear people talking about the stadium we'll need to build, I keep hearing 18K or 19K
bullshit, this thing needs to be more like Red Bull or Stubhub: 24000 MINIMUM
>>66927366
>>mfw I forgot to put my trip back on after visiting a different board
>>66927366
I think people are trying to avoid the empty stadiums.
Red Bull Arena sometimes doesn't sell out. And nobody wants to look like Gillette.
I get depressed going to Gillette because I know there is like 13K people there, but it looks fucking empty.
>>66927413
Red bull arena only sells out when they play el plastico
>>66927054
Don't jump on me for bringing up this city, but Seattle started their MLS team right after the Sonics left. Huge attendance spike that continues to this day.
>>66927413
that's the other end of the argument, "why don't they just play at the dome"
A) because there's no way they'll sell out all 65,000 seats, and that looks dumb
B) because the field isn't big enough
>>66927413
>>66927497
Seattle blocked out upper-deck seats for the first couple years, so the stadium looked full (and also they could jack up pricing for lower-deck seats). Once those started selling out regularly, they opened the top decks.
>>66927555
They still tarp up the upper deck for most games other than Cascadia matchups and >lags

When you have that much money, you can do wahtever you want and literally no one can stop you.
Like, say, if you wanted to run for President even though you had no experience outside the hotel business. For example.
>>66930805
... huh?
Vancouver Whitecaps are still very much in MLS, or did I miss something.
>>66931487
That has more to do with the weakness of the Republican party and how right wing politics are in this country currently.

Hardmode: No renaming or relocating.
>>66931523
I was taking a passive-aggressive shot, but really if you have a billion dollars, normal rules do not apply to you. You can buy any car, you can fuck any person, you can pass any law, and I suspect, kill any of the uppity poors who annoy you.
If you're a sports owner who happens to be fucktarded, the only people who can stop you are the other 29 in the league with you, and they'll allow it as long as profits are good. Exhibit A: Donald Sterling.

Kansas City is in Missouri.
This English striker is eligible for the USMNT in 2017. That is when he officially becomes a US Citizen. Will Jurgen give him a call?
He's an MLS Champion and he was brought up through the English Premier League youth system. He hasn't capped for a country yet he should be in the pool at the very least.

> Chivas is gone for reasons entirely unrelated to attendance or quality of play
You'd be wrong there, senpai. Chivas USA had two good years of attendance in the first two years they existed. Ever since then, they saw a steady decline in attendance, whereas the league saw a surge.
It got so bad the last 2 years, when the club became even MORE of a Chivas farm club, that they ended up with the lowest attendance averages in MLS history. And that's being generous, because the Galaxy games they played in counted as "Home" games for both teams.
Their average home league attendance was 3,487 in 2014. So glad that shit team is gone. Played terrible soccer, worst "idea" for a team ever, and didn't even try to be competitive.
For the record, I think LA2 can do better. I've heard that they're going to try to brand themselves as sort of an anti-Galaxy. I imagine they can attract a lot of people by playing the whole "LAG are snobby rich people, we're blue collar" card. Kinda like the A's in that respect.

Will Connecticut ever get a NASL or UCL team?
The Greater Hartford metro already has 1.5 million people , a 40,000 seat stadium with REAL grass, the capital , an international airport , ESPN HQ , CPTV Sports HQ, train infrastructure , busses. All in one area.
>>66960901
>EPL youth system.
That's not Dwyer's selling point. He's a pretty good goalscorer in MLS who's possibly good enough for a Continental European side (say, Belgium, or the Ededivisie, or a similar smaller league), which makes him a pretty damn good option for the USMNT at his position.
He also wifed Sydney LeRoux, who's pretty damn hot.

Not to sound like a shill. But I guarantee if you had a team called Pomona FC or inland Empire football club that played at the LA County Fair they could draw more than 5,000 people which is what ChivasbUSA shoulda just did.
I don't know if you guys know this but Chivas USA wanted to build their stadium on the Pomona Fairplex site which, honestly would've been better than sharing with the LA Galaxy

Well if the Scottish Celtics are really looking for an East coast location with stadiums that match the league average (6000 fans) , Connecticut is an untapped market
>>66965243
They should just use Boston imo. Revs are far enough that it would be ad offered fanbase.
>>66965275
Where would they even play? Keep in mind the Revs plans are to move into Boston and build a soccer specific stadium.
Boston is also a town with literally 10 different sports teams

Correction: The USWNT won the Women's World Cup.
And I take it you've never watched club women's soccer then. It's worse than the WC. Without all the pageantry and hype of the WWC, and with teams full of unskilled literally-who's, it's a bad time.
>>66964272
Well, part of the reason the team was retarded was it was trying to lure Mexicans who were fans of Chivas Guadelajara. If they just went with "a second team in LA", it'd do better. Moving stadiums is even better, because there's no built-in rivalry between the two teams sets of fans, so a new stadium cements the two fanbases as two different parts of LA.
