Lol, women are so equal to men that they need to be subsidized by those same oppressively patriarchal men because they can't get enough fan support on their own to make their own money

No, they actually win tournaments to get their trophies

Welp, the men's team will flame out early now. Where's their incentive to play hard?

What do the women make when they go to the world cup and do the men get half of that?


I think under this agreement the men will get half.

Pretty sure the USMNT could win a tournament against a bunch of countries that don't give a shite too. Problem is the rest of the word actually cares about men's soccer

What part of your genetics lets you birth babies?

My guess would be to win. Elite athletes wanting to win. What a concept

It's the only way women's sports can get paid because revenue are generated by interest in the sport. Those revenues are used to pay players. If your sport doesn't make money like the male counterpart teams you can't pay players like the male counterpart players. Simple economics.

Truth of the matter
No one gives a shite about women's sports that don't A) play the sport or B) have a family member/ friend that plays the sport.

It's not taking anything from their athletics ability but people just don't care about them.

They do win actually.

Four Women's World Cup titles (1991, 1999, 2015, and 2019), four Olympic gold medals (1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012), and nine CONCACAF Gold Cups.

To be fair, the USMNT has won the CONCACAF Gold Cup seven times with the most recent being in 2021.

In a way this is the USWNT acknowledging passively that nobody will ever give a shite about them, so they used politics to secure a handout from the branch of the sport people actually watch

insane that the men capitulated on this, but I suppose the outrage of idiots was a hassle that just wasn't worth the money. What a country.

I was just coming to say that the women are historically more accomplished than the men
