re: TRIGGER WARNING - USWNT passes USMNT in generated revenue

The organization bundles brand sponsorships and broadcast sales between the two teams, making it harder to distinguish the difference in revenue, the Journa sa ysl.

Seems like a pretty important point, not to be glossed over.

Key point that is also is left out is lost revenue on the men's side for not making the 2018 WC, which definitely played a major part. Should their salaries decrease because of this? Maybe? I don't know.

Soccer isn't the only sport with a pay gap. Well-paid women's basketball players earn low six-figure salaries, while the minimum NBA salary is just over $838,000. Superstars like Serena Williams and Lindsey Vonn have stated male players get paid more in their sport, no matter how decorated the female player.

The stupidity here is laughable. Tying player pay solely to accomplishments makes no sense. Tell me, if a WNBA team only brings in $500K (just made up that #) in revenue a year, and they win the championship, should they pay all their players over $100K and tank the team? Serena's a dumbass.

I'm all for them getting paid based on the money they are bringing in. Same for the men. I have my doubts though on the accuracy and transparency of the figures presented in the article.
