At least we only have to hear about this every 4 years. They will go back to being irrelevant next week.
Have a feeling you’ll hear far more about them the next four years than our men’s team.

Hi assclown.
They want equal pay, they claim equivalence.
Therefore comparisons based on ACTUAL frickING EVENTS are relevant.

One thing no one seems to understand is that fifa determines how much money is given out, it’s not anything anyone in the USA can control no matter how much they bitch and moan and protest. Just because the US women bring in more than the men doesn’t mean it’s the case anywhere else, because it isn’t. No one gives a shite about women’s soccer anywhere else in the world. The men make more because it’s the most watched and most popular sporting contest on the face of the earth. The fact that the US didn’t get in didn’t matter to anyone
You're only looking at one piece of the puzzle. The World Cup is a once every 4 year event for both the men and women. These teams play every year in different tournaments/events/matches.
The only legit arguement the women may have is the resources that the Federation puts into generating potential revenue activities. Obviously the men's team stinks, but the US Soccer Federation still spends way more money marketing and promoting the men and getting them better tv deals and such.
Im not saying that is correct, Im just providing the only legitimate debate that could be had.

Did the women's qualifying matches even get shown on TV? Get mentioned on the news?
The men's did.

How much did the men earn last World Cup? The women this World Cup? Seems more than equal.

I support their efforts. I have decided not to watch women's soccer until they are paid as much or more than men. I encourage everyone to do the same.

Well, I mean, unlike all of you I've actually looked at the Financials and done research on this. Not just repeat what I heard of Sean Hannity

The men’s team sucked the last couple years but they’ve been way better on a global scale than most people realize. It’s not 1990 anymore, or even 2000.

Overall revenue, if they are talking equal pay, surely they mean for everyone. In everything. Not just themselves.
Ad revenue for mens world cup is more than women's. More money comes in from men's world cup than for women's. More eyes are on men.
So the point is, men..in any country, in any sport..are more celebrated, watched and bring in more money because of this.
This team could dominate for 2 decades and it's still a novelty. But if the Mens US soccer team did that..it would be insane.

You're assuming they will even qualify for the WC. We know after the last WC that is not a given.

Your job is as an accountant for womens FIFA? And you still suck at it?
Wow. Pointless life you lead.
Posted on 7/7/19 at 5:12 pm to TigerStripes06
The World Cup is only every 4 years so I’m not sure why you’re only using that as a metric.

Straw poll. How many people watch womens matches that ARENT World Cup or Olympic matches? How many people give a shite even if it IS the World Cup or olympics? I think they’re a great team and I think they deserve all the respect in the world, but the fact of the matter is that almost no one cares, even on the biggest stages.

So at best, the woman can make just barely more than a terrible men's team? When they have way more exposure and games? What argument do you think you're making again?
