Not to mention you are comparing 30 games for the women to 13 for the men. You are incapable of making a real point. Again, just stop.



So what you're saying is they work twice as much and generate five times the profit, but get paid far less?

Careful. You're turning into a feminist LNCHBOX.

The men are mostly playing away which means no revenue and all travel expenses. You're comparing apples to spaceships.

And it's actually infinite times more since the men are operating at a deficit. Not surprised you can't get any piece of the info right.

If the USMNT played the USWNT, who would win at least 999 times out of 1000? When that changes, the women can get the same pay.

Equal pay for equal work. DWI.

Never argued they should get paid the same. Also, if we're arguing pay on head to head results, then why not argue for pay on who has had more international success?

Because it's not the same sport.

Then maybe the same governing body shouldn't be overseeing it.

It's not the fault of the USWNT that they can do a Victory Tour, while the men can't even qualify for the Olympics.

Another irrelevant point brought to you by the guy that supposedly isn't engaging the board.

It's quite relevant. They win, so they can do a profitable Victory Tour.

The men can't do such a tour.

And WarSlamEagle convinced me to engage. Blame him.

I just don't understand this pent up anger you have about this issue. I disagree with you, but I'm not mad about it.

You realize you're only look at event budget, right?

I love posts like these. "I have nothing left, so I'm going to say some random insult that has nothing to do with the discussion."

I mean if you have two office buildings and one is literally the nicest one on the block, while the other is shitty and needs repairs to keep up with the surrounding real estate, which would you continue funding to upgrade?

The success of the men's team dictates the success of the women's team. Not vice-versa.
