"We can't put on a better show"

"We're done talking about markets, it needs to change"


CNN interviewing Michelle Akers...

She doesn't understand the pay gap either...(on the field)

When it comes to sports, men are superior athletes, thus pay will be different...

What the heck is wrong with women who cant accept the reality men are better athletes and thus more enjoyable to watch?

If women could compete for a starting position and do what men do, then we could talk about equal pay...

But using soccer as a platform is silly..

If we're talking non sports, that's a conversation to have....

Pro sports? "Come on man"....(sleepy Joe)

Let them play the USMNT.

If they win, they get paid more.

If they tie, they get equal pay.

If they lose, they shut their fricking mouths.

Wanna guess what the outcome will be (assuming the men don't tank it)?

These loons want equal pay when the job isnt equal. Like teachers being paid the same as police officers and fireman. That's just ridiculous. One of those 3 jobs doesnt put the person in danger 24/7

Same with these soccer players. One tackle from a man and they bird legs would snap

I think the kids that play in the little league World Series should get paid what the MLB does.

Well considering a team of under 15 year old boys beat the women 5-2 in a scrimmage...

This is a true statement but the reason the pay is different is because mens sports bring in more revenue which in turn means the athletes will make more money. It's simple economics but a nasty, self absorbed skank whore like Rapinoe will never understand because the dumb bitch doesn't want to.

She just wants to bitch and say "everybody look at me". The pathetic excuse for a human being doesn't give a damn about anyone else.

To play devils advocate, they do draw larger crowds, sell more tickets, and sell a ton of merchandise when compared to the men’s team. Obviously men’s soccer in general is more popular- this applies only to US national teams.

Quite simply put, they aren't the best.

You're the best at women's soccer, not the best soccer team on Earth. At this point we all know that 10 of the best boys highschool soccer teams in the country could probably win a game against them.

If highschool boys can win against them, the real question is, why aren't we paying highschool boys the same as pro women?

In other news, a burger flipper at McDonalds should make as much as the executive chef at Commander's Palace

That's not what drives pay.

It all comes down to $.

FIFA revenue for 2018 men's world cup is around $6 billion. FIFA revenue for women's world cup is expected to be around $130 million.

End of discussion.

What's next? The WNBA demanding equal pay to the NBA?

This is true. The USWNT generates more revenue than the USMNT but men's soccer globally generates far more revenue than the women's game.

They generate more than the USMNT once every four years. If they are going to pick specific years to cherry pick data, how about they compare men’s year’s for their World cup and then get back to me.

The pathetic false narratives these women provide proves that I should take nothing they say seriously.

The women on the Women's professional softball teams should obviously get paid what MLB stars get paid, shouldn't they? Same for the WNBA stars. They are easily worth the same as Kawhi and Lebron, are they not?
