you're wrong, relatively speaking.
Team USA women soccer captain says $60 mil cash prize not fair. Men get $440 mil

The women already get a higher % of the revenue from their World Cup than the men get from their World Cup. And I'm not comparing US women to US men, I'm talking about the overall pot available to all of the women's teams compared to the men's teams.

Is that true? Evidence? Error riddle women tennis wouldn’t struggle to survive without being paired with men tennis
WHY ARE BUTCH LESBIANS SUCH DUMB PEOPLE?
Whether they need it or not is irrelevant if they’re profitable.

This is pretty much where I'm at on the topic. They're dominating the field, bringing home title after title and they have a lot of public interest. They don't have to be paid as much as the men, but they definitely need a substantial pay bump. Their games now generate MORE revenue than the men's team, yet there's still a huge pay gap.
And this is not just about FIFA or the WC prize. Their lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation (which I think some people are lumping in with this new complaint) notes that them getting paid that much less actually affects their overall gameplay and training, coaching, etc. But even with all that, they play AND WIN more games than the men's team, have won multiple world championship titles and Olympic gold medals. They're bringing in money, international acclaim and they're viewed by the (soccer) world as THAT team. Just pay them already.

Men’s tennis is the far bigger draw. Just like men’s soccer. It is what it is.

Women should get paid like the dudes.
USMNT is garbage and the women win trophies. Sorry, IDGAF about "competition"...US women get everyone's best shot and keep on trucking. US men have almost no pressure and still suck.

This is how I look at it.
Imagine you run a boxing "league" with different weight classes and tons fighters.
The most successful fighter is a featherweight but the biggest draw is a heavyweight that loses half of his fights.
The heavyweight gets a bigger purse in this "league" but the featherweight is champ of his division. Sure the heavyweight would kill the featherweight but I can understand the featherweight wanting a bigger share of the pie.
The women don't have as many avenues to make money so it's a double whammy. If the US women sucked, there'd be no argument....but the US women are #1 and the men just got beat by El Tri again.

Competition does matter. Mexico's "B" team still made the CONCACAF final.

And you're wrong again. The current CBA has USSF paying the women salaries and benefits in addition to subsidizing the failing NWSL. The women are trying to break the agreement.
This, don't know why people don't understand this when mocking the Men's team. Obviously the Women's team is relatively better, but their competition is nowhere near comparable
Our best male athletes are pursuing football, basketball, baseball, maybe even Hockey and top individual sports before considering Soccer. Soccer is the main sport for our female athletes
For the sake of perspective, one of the reasons why a country of 5 million (New Zealand) is so fukking dominant at Rugby is because that's literally where their best athletes go. Every other elite Rugby playing nation has at least one other sport (some even have 2 or 3, like Australia) before their best athletes consider Rugby and it's why despite having significantly more people they're not faring as well when going against the All-Blacks
