This is despite the fact that they are nowhere near as good as the men, and don't generate anywhere near as much money.

That would be like me, a beginner welder, walking into a fabrication shop and demanding the same pay as a ten year master welder. Who the hell would take me seriously? I'd be laughed out of the premises.

It's over, the feminists have won. Actually, they've won a long time ago, now they're just aggressively stat-padding.

Men, this is what happens when you allow the weaker sex to be "equal" to you. They usurp power, and become your masters.
People don't get paid for what they are worth though usually. They get paid what they negotiated successfully.

The Men's team is pretty meh currently while the Women's team is basically in their 20th year being a top 2 team. So maybe around the next world cup Women will make more.

I know women definitely made more in 2018-2019 just because the U.S didn't make the world cup and the Women won the 2019, World Cup. But generally it isn't like that.
US women’s soccer games now generate more revenue than men’s—but the players still earn less

You should read the thread, it's all explained where the revenues come from and your proposal is in no way a reasonable "economic" way to do so.

See Jeff, you're being taken advantage of by a misrepresentation and then repeating the bull.

That's only the GATE revenue (ie. selling tickets to the stadium) and it represents a small part of the overall revenues.

The issue is the TV money, more specifically the global TV money which is huge for the Men's teams.

Do you understand how ad revenue works for things that are watched more?

This has been repeatedly explained and yet here comes the same garbage article from before COVID.

I don't disagree that pay should be equal if it's solely based on game-day revenue. In fact the women should be paid more as it stands.

Women's team can still sell out a stadium as well or better than the men's. But this link doesn't show the streaming/TV Revenue. As a fan of both teams, the Women's team normally gets a fraction of what the men's team get's on their average Youtube video, although it's nowhere as bad as it used too. Also T.V deals and things like that. While the men's team sucks, if U.S plays Mexico men's that might be the most watched football game of the year in the U.S and Mexico. A similar thing with the Women doesn't exist, except the World Cup every 4 years.

The 19th century is expecting you home for dinner.

Don't do too much shopping or you won't be able to fit everything in the time capsule.

That is like saying the little league team down the road is better than the Detroit Tigers, because they've won more titles.

The fact is, 15 year old boys teams blow out the US women's team.
