They play in the gold cup final tonight so there’s hope.

It seems like the women are using equal pay for PR, they know they won’t get paid the same as the men. They should however get more than they do now based on ticket sales and other revenues they bring in.

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?


Exactly. This is ridiculous

FIFA will award $30 million in prize money for the Women's World Cup. The men received $400 million last year. Infantino said this week he wants to double the prize money for the women's tournament by the next edition in 2023, but the gap between the genders could actually grow with FIFA expected to award $440 million for the men's tournament in 2022.


Because of this. And this isn’t something anyone here can do anything about. This is THE pay day. Nothing else matters.

Women don't understand basic economics, Color me shocked

The media will indulge them cause its women and anytime they complain we have to act like they have a point even if they don't

For about the hundredth time, the men didn't make the fricking world cup. Seriously, how hard is that to understand?

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


Sorry, I can’t argue with that type of logic. I can only laugh.

I know that. So they got nothing. Which is less than what the women got. What do you not understand? Do you not understand that even if the men DID make the tournament that they’d make more because of FIFA, not because of the us federation? Do you think it would be fair to take the men’s money and give it to the women because they are “better” and “get better ratings”? The payouts are huge for men because of the interest generated world wide. The women don’t have that.

I’m willing to bet female strippers make more money than male strippers. Should male strippers be paid equally? I think not.

I don't think they should get equal pay, but it's clearly not that simple to anyone with an ounce of intellect

They lost to a team of 9th grade boys, so NO !

About a dozen posters have referenced the men's world cup prize money and payouts as if it's in any way relevant to the discussion.

You are joking right?

I've never seen NHL players complaining that they don't get the same AAV as NBA players.

It comes down to revenue in which the womens side of soccer ON A WHOLE does not compare to the mens side
