It isn't this simple. The previous contract the men won $9 million in the World Cup in 2014 and received $4.3 million while the rest went to US Soccer foundation.

now they receive a split of 90% of all earnings between themselves and the women.

The deal wouldve worked for them if the women didn't suck. Under the previous deal where the men didn't split they wouldve got around $6.2 million (47% of 13 million), instead they will get $6.7 million (45% of 15 million)

they couldve negotiated better, but the deal didn't frick them out of 40% of their earnings by any means compared to the previous deal.

In 2014 the men received $187k per player for their world cup finish, last year they earned 300k per player before the tournament even started.

what benefit does the men's team get from working harder if they know they don't see half of their earnings? why would the women work harder if they know they are getting paid big whether they win or lose?


Professional pride. The glory that comes with being a champion.

Veteran NFL players will take less money to chase a ring.

The men's team have sacrificed their balls. But after all, its only soccer.

Wait, are you telling me firing someone because they suck, then hiring them back a few months later isn't what normal functioning organizations do?

The women can take 40% of the men’s winnings but they’ll never have the respect or viewership of the men. And they’ll never shut the frick up about it. This didn’t fix anything.


Wait until ncaa men start collecting half of women’s social media income.

I wasn’t the one that brought it up, only replying to first person that said he couldn’t understand it.

But yes, we haven’t seen a full cycle of it yet, but we have a lot of very highly talented athletes playing soccer. We’ll have to give it another 10-15 years to see it though.

Soccer is the number 1 kids sport, statistically you are going to have highly talented athletes in this group.

I agree with you.
However, what the men make from national team duty is like added bonus money over and above what they are paid by their clubs. Thus, they have a bit of house money to virtue signal AND avoid being canceled by the media.

I can almost assure you that all the fawning pieces on ESPN about this failed USWNT would NEVER happen in any other nation, even other woke nations. Women's soccer players in the U.S. are coddled beyond belief. Same applies, to an extent, to the men. Remember Stu Holden's explosion in 2017 after the US men were bounced from World Cup qualifying. He and Alexi were the only ones bringing any kind of heat for such abject failure.

Stu and Alexi took a lot of crap for it, too.

How much does the U12 boys team get? They are better than the USWNT.
