I bet most of those soccer dudes are Democrats, so they should be fine with taking less.

Well the payout is based on performance not ratings from one game


The women didn't perform though. They sat at home while the men played soccer

And next year the men will get paid to sit at home while the women play soccer....

The Men’s NBA salaries should split with the Women’s NBA. Let’s see how that works out.

Probably feared the consequences of not voting for it. IIRC, this was done at the height of “cancel culture.”


Could be. Maybe they will see results and change their mind soon.

If FIFA keeps their word and the womens world cup prize pool is the same as the mens then this deal may benefit the men as opposed to the women.

Im still not convinced FIFA will meet that "goal" though.

Even if the prize money is close, if the women make it further the men could benefit. There are less teams in the womens tourney so a smaller pool could still provide a similar payout based off finishing position

So do the men get half of what the women generate? Or is that sexist and oppressive?

Yes, the men will split the 2027 womens world cup prize

Most of the men have contracts so big with their clubs -- not including endorsements -- they could wipe their arse with their portion of the 12M payout after coaches, staff, etc get theirs.

FIFA set a goal for the prize pool for the women's world cup in 2027 to match the mens from 2026.

I doubt it will happen but they have made a lot of money off this world cup so they could definitely afford it.

They wouldn't be dumb enough to agree to that.

that comes out to roughly $246,153 per player


To be fair, the men will get to share in the $5.64 per player share that the women EARN when they play their games.

TIL that the US women's soccer team has even won 1 World Cup, let alone 4 World Cups.

That shows how little value the women's soccer team has. I had no idea about how well they had done over the years. And now that I do know about how well the women's team has done, I don't care in the least about it.

I've never watched a women's World Cup game in my life. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I even knew what year the women's World Cup was held in.

Honestly at this point they should give it all to the woman since they actually win and the men play like pussies.

Meanwhile the 2026 World Cup was profitable before the end of the Group stage.


I want to say the WC attendance record was set before group play ended as well.

Soccer is a communist sport.

I’m not surprised they divide the money between those who earned it and those who are able to have children.


Brother you can literally buy and sell players like it's the 1800s in soccer.

And they shouldn't.

Do you not see what I'm arguing here?
