Awesome. Let’s just ignore the fact that the women’s team that won the women’s FIFA World Cup was beaten by a team of middle schoolers in Texas. But I guess this is what Megan Rapinoe has to say today:

Many of them don't even deserve to play for the national team with how much they've shite-talked the country

Girlfriend and I discussed this. Of course she was upset I said women shouldn’t be paid the same. Pointed out to her we watch a lot of the 2018 Men’s World Cup and watched zero of the 2019 Women’s World Cup. That didn’t satisfy her …. Of well… not the first time she was left unsatisfied

Besides, I thought gender was just a social construct

Men took a paycut. They are splitting the revenue equally despite the men bringing in the majority. They're unionized so there's a revenue split between the players and association.

USMNT bout to take a pay cut.

I know that when I am hiring for top talent, I make sure to offer the lowest possible amount, ensuring that while I have someone filling the position, i will fail to achieve my goals consistently

I hate that woman. Hate. What she “deserves” is a swift kick to the temple from some pointy cowboy boots.

For the Men's team, this should be a wake up call. You are so irrelevant on the national stage...that you now are compensated on par with a team that would struggle against male high school teams. You want to think it should. But it won't. No...instead these brainwashed idiots will champion it as a progressive win in the fight against wage discrimination. Their value could not be any lower...if they are being paid the same as their inferior sexual opposites.

A lot of people that don’t even watch soccer are going to be really upset over this.

Women's team is undoubtedly more successful (on the pitch) in international competition.

But the men bring in more revenue. This is horseshite, and it will *not* allow the US men to be more competitive overall.

Relative to the amount of revenue each team generates, I'd say the men are taking a significant "pay cut". While the gap is smaller in the US, the world-wide marketplace for men's soccer compared to women's is vast.

Equality means getting paid as much as the men, not the women they actually play against. Mighty hypocritical for them to attack one pay gap whilst expanding the other.

won't this just mean the women will be paid less? their old contract was guaranteed while the mens was incentive based.

either way has zero to do with me, if they feel its better for them then more power to them
