re: USWNT's Rapinoe to Congress: 'We don't know the real potential of women's sports'

I have an idea for the pay scale of women’s sports. We can start with the USWNT, just for shits and giggles. Have them play games against each bracket until they lose. Their last win is the % they get of the men’s contracts.

Opponent - % Pay of Men’s counterpart:

State Champion U17 Premier Team - 5%
Regional Champion U17 Premier Team - 10%
National Champion U17 Premier Team - 15%
D3 Conference Champ - 20%
D3 National Champ - 25%
D2 Conference Champ - 30%
D2 National Champ - 35%
D1 Conference Champ - 40%
D1 National Champ - 45%

I got tired of typing. They aren’t getting past a U17 regional championship team. They wouldn’t get past most the the state champs either.
