If you want to argue the money that the US spends on male and female soccer needs to be adjusted, I'm with you. Clearly the women's team is better and way more successful and their ratings are presumably better. Supply and demand.


....but if you're gonna argue about supply and demand, you have to acknowledge overall FIFA's bread and butter is male soccer and no one gives a fukk about female soccer outside of the US (every 2-4 years).

LOL, this is really hilarious though. They want the prize to be bigger than the actual money that the whole tournamet made for FIFA :mjlol:

I think they should get an equal percentage of the pie that men do.

So say men's soccer generates 300 mil from just supply and demand and the men get 15% of that money. The women should get 15% of whatever funds are generated from the demand of the sport.


Had this argument with a girl 2 days ago. Was trying to say women bball players should get equal pay as NBA players since they are doing the same thing. One of the dumbest arguments I've ever been in :mjlol:. Tried to tell me the only reason ppl dont like womens bball as much as mens is cause misogyny:laff:. I told her to look at an NBA dunk contest vs a WNBA dunk contest and honestly tell me it's the same :pachaha:

I was thinking about this why.do people.watch sports.
For entertainment right.
Womens tennis oftentimes gets higher ratings and i think women's soccer's is a huge draw.

They should get equal pay
No offense but France v Croatia had MUCH higher ratings than the US v. Holland

At the end of the day, you get what you can command. That's why I can't hate on cats that get, imo, overpaid. Get that money. The USNWT is clearly superior to its Mens counterpart. But the Women's World Cup as a whole pales to the Men's World Cup in popularity, views, and money accrued. The women deserve more but the economics of it might not match up. It's on them to demand more or hold out until they can get it
