For a country that hates socialism it runs deep in our sports


quote:

The USWNT financial numbers are in, and the women are due for a big payday despite an early exit from the Women’s World Cup. Last year, the US Soccer Federation, the USWNT, and the USMNT came to an agreement that the women’s and the men’s team would split their revenues equally after US Soccer recouped their fees. The main reason for the historic deal was because everyone felt that FIFA’s pay structure was unfair to the women.



quote:

According to Sportico’s Emily Caron, the USWNT will take home over $7 million despite bringing in $3.25 million in revenue thanks to the newly formed revenue split.


Take home double the money they actually earned

quote:

some USWNT math: the U.S. will take home $3.25 million for its round of 16 exit. that’ll be added to the $13m the men’s team earned in Qatar. 10% of the $16.25m total will go to U.S. soccer + the remaining $14.625m will be shared equally between both squads (~$298k per player),”



The big reason they pushed for equal pay so hard is they actually relied on money from the national team as their primary source of income.

Doesn’t help when USSF holds the ladies back forcing them to play in the NWSL

Men need to sue, they would have an easy case. All they do is use the women's teams own arguments to win.

It baffles me that the men's team agreed to this bullshite. Athletes are essentially entertainers. There is no one person that has the same job as another. Even in the corporate world...every person is different. But in entertainment, you as an individual are compensated based on people willing to pay money to see you play. There is no such thing as "equal pay" in entertainment, because of this.

Women vs basic understanding of economics is always a fun watch.

I don’t think this is true anymore. I think it was just a product of the old contract, which again the women argued for before calling it all sexist.
