The ladies also get a yearly salary that the men don't and higher percentage of tournament winnings. Then the league pays them a bonus for playing in leagues. The difference is the tournaments are on different levels. Men's dwarfs it. They also are cherry picking stats, the years posted for generating a million more dollars include two world cups and an Olympics. Men had the Olympics. This shit is laughable, if they want more money they actually need to create more revenue and sell tickets that are more than free to 9 dollars. |

Putting aside the personal/family carnage of those involved this is not a good development for Tyreek. If they suspend her for a year there will be plenty of people who conflate this with Tyreek and will yell double-standard if he doesn’t get the same punishment.

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. |

But not more than the men. Going by percentage of revenue that they generate, the women actually make a lot more. https://youtu.be/xw8SapT5XwA

The women's team dominates the world and the men don't. That much is true. But the competition on the men's side is much greater. So, that is hard to compare. What I don't understand is why we don't seem to put as much support into our men's team as what I kept hearing about the women's team.

Here is a pretty balanced take. www.tampabay.com/nation-world/politifact-does-the-us-womens-soccer-team-bring-in-more-revenue-but-get-paid-less-than-the-men-20190712/%3ftemplate=amp Of course when men win they drive a hell of a lot more revenue. That's why I think equal pay is nonsense. At the same time keep in mind the best on the usmnt are getting paid outside of us soccer a shitload more than women do. They earn a lot in the pros and all kinds of crazy soccer bonuses. No woman will ever in a lifetime earn pulisic money nor should they. Women make most of their money off us soccer. The reason you probably haven't heard a peep from usmnt players is because they're getting paid just fine. The kind of bonus women are asking for is pocket change. |

Yearly salary, benefits, they get paid by their leagues, they get bonuses. Should they get paid more? Maybe yes, but leagues are not going to go more bankrupt for it. Your only option right now is sponsors kicking in money. |

The women can call it equal pay but it really isn't. The men under their CBA are less reliant on us soccer salary because they make far more money outside of us soccer than women do. The best in the world are paid very, very well. And if the men start winning, even though they earn a smaller % of world cup revenue they earn significantly more $s because the world cup grosses a shit ton more... When we make the actual tournament. Long story short, the women undoubtedly made us soccer more than enough money this year to justify a pay raise. Equal pay gets them what they want, but men still get paid a whole lot more. Seems alright with me. |
