Megan Rapinoe interview in 5,4,3,2,1. She might lay down in a fetal position for that insulting anthem after this news.

I've traveled to many men's and women's games. We hosted a She Believes match in Nashville. The game was a double header but the ticket was cheaper than any I've bought for a men's friendly.

The women played about 14 more home matches than the men did during this time frame.


When was the last time the men played a meaningful game before the gold cup? The loss to T&T to miss out on the World Cup? I’m surprised they made that much

Why? They still played a lot of games and sold a lot of tickets at $40+.

Don't forget, nobody watches Women's soccer outside of the World Cup. I don't know how much the Men's team brings in for broadcast revenue, but it likely trounces what the Women's team brings in.

That people still pay money to see the USMNT is mind boggling. At least the women are winners.

They complain yet continue to play for the US federation. That's like Rosa Parks and other protesters complaining about segregation yet continue to buy bus tickets from the city each and every day.

i'm fine with the women making more money. but it shouldnt be tied to how much the men make. i also support their fight, even if i disagree with a lot of their arguments. they should honestly just hire a strategist that can explain to them how to get the extra money they want (through endorsements and good publicity), their whole approach so far does nothing but turn people off

Agree with you. I have no issue with them getting paid more. However they have gone about it wrong.

The attack on the men’s team has me turned off by the whole thing

Especially since they are reaping the rewards of the crap the USMNT had to deal with up until the 90’s.

If for some reason the women crash out early their fight gets a lot harder. No victory tour, less endorsements, and no relevant matches until Tokyo.

Lol I don’t hate women at all.

In fact, I have no problem with them getting the exact same monetary benefits as the men especially since their actual club salaries are so much less.

You can cherry pick topics from both sides and I find the topic interesting.

Can we just agree that the USWNT is insufferable and anybody who roots for them is either naive or a huge cuck?
