she's just sticking up for her sport :yeshrug:

she's not asking for equal pay.. there's already a 370 million gap between the 2.. and they're gonna make it 380 million soon :russ:


she's got the spotlight right now.. and if a woman soccer player isn't gonna rep for women's soccer.. damn sure no one else will :lolbron:

It should be based off attendance, tv ratings, merchandise, etc imo. If their numbers are lining up with men then her point is valid.

This is where I'm leaning. They should be paid off of all that. On top of that, the mens league is just more competitive. US women are killing it because there aren't as many great teams out there. Pay them more...not as much as men until they are generating the same revenue.

Its bigget than the money.
They run stories and bring awareness to the mens team for weeks and weeks and they suck.
They are just asking about money they want the MSM, social media, and etc to take them serious and promote them like they do the men!
It's obviously not bigger than money .. they're asking for money :heh:

Can you show/prove that men's team is better promoted? What are you basing your claims on? The fact that you didn't know about it?

Women's soccer is irrelevant on a global scale which is why the women have dominated. If it weren't for Title IX, US women would be like the men. Women don't support women's sports at all. Look at the WNBA. You hear women talk about improved pay, but the same ones have never spent $10 for a ticket to see their local team.
Thats BS.
USA women dominate because they have vets who have been plying the game for damn near 20 years.
No coincidence that the tema leader is 34 old.

Its not the fault of American women because the rest of the world doesn’t invest in their women.
Same can be said for any sport.
Ive never in my life paid to go to a sports event. They were all free events, or at school.
Its just not good business to not promote the womens team in this day in age.

Senator: No equal pay, no public '26 WC funds

Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) introduced a bill Tuesday that would prevent the federal government from providing funding for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until the United States Soccer Federation agrees to equal pay for its men's and women's national teams.

"No federal funds may be appropriated or otherwise made available to provide support for the 2026 World Cup, including support for a host city, a participating State or local agency, the United States Soccer Federation, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), or the Federation de Football Association (FIFA), until the date on which the United States Soccer Federation agrees to provide equitable pay," the bill reads.

Hilarious thing about this is its coming from Joe Manchin, a centrist Democrat the left and probably most of the dykes on that team despises...

The Arsenal
only the american women should be paid just as much as the american men because they actually make money, but there is no way the women's teams for france, netherlands or england should be making the same as the men's teams.
