US Soccer has a gigantic surplus and the men's team sure as shit hasn't done anything recently to justify getting any piece of that. They are most definitely underpaid.

My cherry picked stats are on actual revenue.
What happens if the women break away from the organization and run on their own? They would make even less.
This is not the corporate world, you get paid based off revenue generated. Even a shitty men's team still generates more revenue when playing because the tournaments revenue is so massive.
If the women want more, they need their fans to actually spend money and travel to games and cause the cost of tickets to rise. The rest of the world will also need to do it, but that is the problem. Right now tickets are free to super cheap to go watch. Packing a free power and light will not do it.
If the league ever generates a billion dollars in revenue then they will be paid a lot more. It is still in its infancy.
