Apply that to any male professional athlete, and tell me if that still makes sense in your head.

Apples to oranges. US team members are paid the same. I doubt all these women are getting paid the same in WMLS

Someone already did.
The Arizona Rattlers are dominant in the Arena Football League and won the championship 3 years in a row from 2012-2014. No current NFL team comes close to their dominance. They are relatively better than almost every, if not every NFL team. They obviously put a better product on the field than the these NFL teams and should be paid more.
Just because they are better relatively, doesn't mean it's a better product or that they should be paid more. Pay has always been tied more to money generated, not success on the field.

Womens soccer is not Mens soccer
One brings in waaaaaaaaaay more money
So you think the WNBA MVP should make more then someone like Klay Thompson?
That is what you are arguing

Among the numbers cited in the EEOC filing are that the women would earn $99,000 each if they won 20 friendlies, the minimum number they are required to play in a year. But the men would likely earn $263,320 each for the same feat, and would get $100,000 even if they lost all 20 games. Additionally, the women get paid nothing for playing more than 20 games, while the men get between $5,000 and $17,625 for each game played beyond 20.
Its the entertainment business. This aint an office environment. It doesnt work like that.

Don't like the pay get a different job.

Using your argument, should those in the military not get paid for their service, and just be happy with being proud to serve their country?
They probably already make more than a private in the army. No idea though.

What a crock of shite. There are so many factors that play into this.
With this rational a high school football coach in Graham, NC should be making the same money as Saban? They perform the same job, do they not?
It's about revenue dollars and nothing else.

USSF Men's WC revenue: $12,892,819 (2014)
USSF Women's WC revenue: $3,234,600 (2015)
Let's not forget USSF subsidizes the women's soccer league in North America. If we want to be fair, let's end that.
Also...
A quick look at the official mens and women's US national team website shows that the mens team's average attendance is well over double that of the women's team. In an entertainment industry (which this is), you should be paid according to the audience you draw. Also, add the fact that mens tickets are far more expensive. Like 2-3 times more.

The filing, citing figures from the USSF's 2015 financial report, says that despite the women's team generating nearly $20 million more revenue last year than the U.S. men's team, the women are paid almost four times less.
Maybe I stand corrected, but that statement is hard to believe.

Women had World Cup last year, men did not

Countries were soccer is vastly more popular as a national sport than it is here? Where kids play soccer as soon as they can run? You aren't a very smart person are you?

The women had a world cup in 2015, the men didnt. This is how people to get numbers to lie. Compare 2015 women to 2014 men. It wont be close
Just pay them a % of revenue. If the women's team doesn't generate much revenue in a year, then pay them accordingly. If they go to the world cup and generate $20M, pay them accordingly.
