MR. Conclusion
All Star
Agreed.
Team USA women soccer captain says $60 mil cash prize not fair. Men get $440 mil
- Thread starter goatmane
- Start date
Agreed.
But all that matters, because they are purposely throwing out numbers everywhere and people who are casuals and those who have no knowledge start to be wildly misinformed. Just saw a news anchor on channel 11 in NY say that the men haven't won since 1930 (
), yet they made over 400 million last year ( ) .And they had the best selling jersey ever,
U.S. Women's World Cup home kit becomes Nike's highest selling soccer jersey
until you read the fine print and see it is for online sales, on nike.com, in "one season", which is conveniently not defined.
All this gets simplified to muddy arguments in their favor.

It has nothing to do with pressure. It's an infrastructure issue. The kids who could grow to be a Messi or Ronaldo will likely never play youth soccer because they can't afford it. And even if they do, the coaching will fail them.
Ronaldo grew up poor on a small island off the shores of Portugal. Messi is the son of factory workers. Mbappé grew up with Camerounian immigrant parents in a Paris ghetto. But all found affordable opportunities to join great academies at a young age. The US men are usually of 3 types:
- dual-nationals who grew up in other countries (McKinnie)
- sons of former soccer players (Pulisic, Weah)
- middle-class suburb kids who had parents who could afford to pay the thousands of dollars. This is the majority, and that's a problem because they aren't as hungry. Case in point: Jordan Morris, who started yesterday, had a contract ready to sign in Germany at 21 years old. But he chose to stay in his hometown Seattle with his family, who persuaded him to stay with a dog. SOFT ASS WHITE BOY. Poor kids got their whole families relying on them to make millions. They'd never make such a short-sighted decision.
That's not an issue with the women. For one, female athletes get fukked over everywhere else in the world because federations won't spend money on them. So only the rich countries can field teams with great players. Of those mostly European countries, most of them banned women from playing until the 90s, while the US have always had Title IX. So we can make the female Messis and Ronaldos.
The only reason this equal pay issue is a thing is because the USMNT miraculously screwed up the easy task of qualifying for the World Cup, eliminating a major source of revenue for the whole soccer program. The men's world cup generates almost 40 times more revenue than the women's cup. Paying both teams if they're both qualifying makes no sense; we'd essentially be losing money to send the women to the World Cup. The US women are feebly paid, but they shouldn't have to rely on the US Soccer for income anyway. If anybody needs to have their income triples or quadrupled, it's the women who play in the NWSL. And they need to force FIFA to install a global mandate to make countries pay female athletes.
Rant over. I bolded the important parts.
Whatever your argument is when it comes to the women, it has fukk all to do with the USMNT, considering they bring in $0 in WC purse money in comparison 
not even considering the fact we know they would massacre the USWNT. So stick to the subject

Here we go again 
Same bs the wnba bytches always complaining about
These stupid bytches need to take a business class
Im pretty sure if I looked up the numbers these bytches probably getting a bigger piece of the revenue pie then the men are yet they stupidly bring up how much the men make vs them without mentioning just how much more revenue the men generate
And ignorant ass people eating this bullshyt up

You guys are weirdos. The women shouldn’t get paid 1/7th the amount of the men period.

woman’s soccer does not generate more revenue than mens
That’s complete bullshyt
Fifa pays the teams based on total revenue,not just what one team generates
Let’s just say hypothetically Washington Mystic games generate more money than Wizards games
that doesn’t mean the wnba as a whole generates more revenue than the nba nor does it mean the Mystic players should make anywhere close to what Wizards players are making
Its about the whole pie not how much revenue one team generates vs another
.If the heavyweight fighters draw more PPV and total revenue, why wouldn't they be paid more, regardless of their wins and losses?
.This is economics 101. It is still mind boogling to me that people....grown adults can't understand this.

If they generate 1/7 of the revenue the men do then yes they should
It’s not hard for me to understand at all. Does anyone have the raw numbers?Why is that so hard for people to understand?.

As Dwight Jaynes pointed out four years ago after the U.S. women beat Japan to capture the World Cup in Vancouver, there is a big difference in the revenue available to pay the teams. The Women’s World Cup brought in almost $73 million, of which the players got 13%. The 2010 men’s World Cup in South Africa made almost $4 billion, of which 9% went to the players.
The men still pull the World Cup money wagon. The men’s World Cup in Russia generated over $6 billionin revenue, with the participating teams sharing $400 million, less than 7% of revenue. Meanwhile, the Women’s World Cup is expected to earn $131 millionfor the full four-year cycle 2019-22 and dole out $30 million to the participating teams.

@mr. smoke weed
The revenue gap is even bigger than I thought
These bytches really need to stfu
If anyone deserves to be paid more its the men

Fair enough, I had no idea there was such a huge disparityAs Dwight Jaynes pointed out four years ago after the U.S. women beat Japan to capture the World Cup in Vancouver, there is a big difference in the revenue available to pay the teams.
