Let's not forget that the pay for the national team is not substantial and pales in comparison to most club salaries (for men at least).

I don’t think the Wall Street Journal is fake news.

The women are bringing in more money than the men. Where is all the money going to instead of to the players?

It's pretty relevant that the sample is for the years where the US didn't qualify for the World Cup. Of course they'll pull a lot less revenue in that time span vs. a women's team that plays every single World CUp match.

That can work both ways, though. For example a lot of people are giving credit to the usmnt for driving TV revenue in a year they didn't even represent. So have to be careful of that narrative too. I agree this is tricky. If I had to guess, the usmnt at their absolute worst as we saw a few years ago probably drives about the same revenue as uswnt (probably a little better). If they're even remotely good, they drive a lot more revenue. So even at their worst they probably make more. I don't think equal pay is the answer, but even the biggest critic has to think the uswnt is wildly underpaid.

The one x factor that is unusual for the uswnt this time around is they have a bonafide superstar celebrity in Alex Morgan. Maybe not the best player over the last decade. Probably not even the best on the current team. But the most marketable since Mia hamm and moreso. Even the usmnt really hasn't had that kind of star power in a very long time. Alex is probably giving that revenue a pretty hefty bump and I'll bet she'll be filthy rich with endorsements over the next year. Rose Lavelle is the future of uswnt and she doesn't carry a fraction of the star power.

Maybe not equal pay, but proportional pay on an equal scale? Come up with some sort of sliding scale based on all those success factors. You get results cashwise for the the federation? Then you get rewarded. Last edited by loochy; 07-09-2019 at 08:14 AM.. |

If they really have a $200 million surplus, they should give each of the 28 players who won a second consecutive World Cup a $1 million bonus.
