It’s disingenuous to expand to a 100 year horizon when the women’s team has only been playing for ~35 years.

It’s disingenuous to argue that the men’s team’s salary was zero.

I see the equality thing as part of a negotiation for the stars to get paid, the team to get the support it needs and for developing talent to get financial stability. This negotiation between the women’s team and the sports administrators has failed so we’re seeing it play out through legal action and media. I support the women’s team in this so I’m not going to give kneejerk reactions like “the pay gap should be bigger”

Nothing before the word “but” really counts in the mind of the person saying it, so I say “I don’t think they should be paid exactly the same $, but I think they should get more” rather than “I think they should get more but it’s not a gender issue”

Also YMMV but I’m pretty dedicated to my work, but there’s no way I would compare the level of my commitment to that of a professional athlete.

USWNT players have earned $90k in bonuses so far, which would be $550k each if they were men (who have never advanced past QFs since 1930) professor zovek Jun 28, 14:33

Pay gap should be wider. 2018 Men's brought in 45x the revenue. $6BILLION for men. $131million women 2019. Women get 23% of receipts, Men 7% PhoneHome Jun 29, 13:14

The US women’s team brought in slightly more revenue than the US men’s team over 2016-2018. RogerMore Jun 29, 13:58

Jimmy's post was about potential bonuses. Actual men's bonus in 2018 was $0. Salary was $0. If men made the World Cup, revenue w/b far more. PhoneHome Jun 29, 20:55

Men’s salary wasn’t zero, they played 11 games last year. It’s incorrect to say they weren’t paid. RogerMore Jun 29, 22:00

I also have no problem with them seeking more. I watch every minute. To infer that they're paid less because they're women is dead wrong. PhoneHome Jun 30, 04:42

But as WSJ points out they make slightly more in game revenues for US Soccer than the men’s team. So is their product really that much less RogerMore Jun 30, 06:26

The article looks at a small moment in time. It's comparing US women's team is at the top, and men's team at a low. Expand that to 5 years, PhoneHome Jun 30, 08:18

Roger, to be honest I have very little argument with your take on this topic other than you put a little more weight on the gap being gender PhoneHome Jun 30, 12:41

Fair enough - but I don’t think the article beyond the headline, or the Guardian source article, (pro HSX tip - always click through to the RogerMore Jul 01, 07:52

Why are there not coed teams? I truly don't understand why professional sports do not have mixed teams {nm} Nobody Jun 29, 19:50

really? You haven't noticed that men are physically bigger, stronger, and faster? In what sport could they compete equally?..... Buy BONDS 31 Jun 30, 06:18
