that every U-17 MLS club team in America would beat them. They'd get absolutely destroyed by the U-17 USMNT.



Oh, I guess I thought we were on the U15 train since that was the team that beat them in the exhibition game, but you did say teenage so that's on me.

I do agree they's struggle with a lot of the U17 MLS Club teams.

Get ready for this to be an issue with College sports very soon with the new rules on players getting paid for likeness.

They can get whatever someone is willing to pay them, not sure where the issue will come from

They asked FOR A LOT MORE than the MNT in their proposal after the USSF offered the Pay-for-Play contract that the MNT had received.

I have no idea what U15 and U16 teams look like but I'm guessing that is the period in which the physical advantages would come out and start to pull away. And given the much smaller pool of female players, I'm guessing you have very technically proficient boys teams at that stage which can largely match the women's team and start to exert physical advantages.

I think we all know programs will use this as a huge recruiting tool. As that happens, people who are not getting those deals will start complaining. That entire mess will be a shite storm

Jerome the runningback gets 100K for his autograph

Nancy the softball player only gets $10

Nancy gon be mad

They negotiated a contract that guaranteed more reliable guaranteed pay in lieu of having a profit sharing upside. They fricked up. The end.

Yeah, I don't agree with that at all. A full strength USWNT going 100% would beat almost every teenage boys team in the country. Their technical prowess and chemistry is on a different level. There are probably a handful that could go toe to toe with them and a few could probably beat them.

You know nothing about soccer

Does it bother her that the women soccer players make more than the curling team?

Yes. I played club soccer up until I was 16 and we played a local girls club a couple times a year in exhibition games. They never beat us, but they could give us a decent game.

Multiple national teams have been beaten by their respective boys teams. Australia, Germany, and the US are just a couple of examples. The US team has a 5'7 CB. She would be destroyed in the air by even teenagers. That's not to mention that the technical differences at that level are minute.

You have “equality” / "equal pay". In fact you are overpaid compared to the men, if you factor $$$/game. Brutal honesty: you should never be paid as much as men because you don't bring in the revenue nor play the amount of games they do. It's economics not sexism you ignorant bitch.
