re: USWNT files federal discrimination suit against US Soccer, demand equal pay

No one gives a shite about the women's game, except teenage and young girls, women who played growing up, feminist and parents of daughters who play that take their little girls to see their hero's. Nothing wrong with any of that but the women's game demographic is much smaller and its even smaller abroad.

This may or may not be true, but even if it is, that's still a very profitable audience, as evidenced by the $26.7 million the USWNT generated last year.

They want and deserve a pay raise. They may actually want equal pay, but that's an argument akin to (yet on a different scale from) saying NBA players and WNBA players should get equal pay.

But I'd guess they'll settle for a nice raise that evens things out more.
