Womens team will receive 50% of US Men soccer World Cup prize money

Hey man equality right

 

[concise]

so men get half if the women win?

if that's the deal, sounds like a good deal for the men since the women team has a better chance every time.

It's half of less money and the women are banking on the men being good again. What if the men didn't qualify again for this yr and the men took half their money for next yr?

Not mad at this.

The Womens team actually WINS and generates profit.

 

[Tair]

not really

unlike that WNBA profit sharing story. The womens national soccer team draws more views and is more competitive and has more wins than the mens. has sold more merch etc... American womens soccer has been dominant and they have received less money than the men who are not competitive in the world arena. they had a very solid case. It's not misplaced equality shyt unlike with the WNBA

Wait, so the women are the one's taking the hit here?

you could technically say that. I see your point. but it's more than they were getting before and they have been asking for years.

Good for them. Support our women and girls.

GMB?

The men make 99% of their salary from their club teams so I doubt they give a fukk

Being so reliant on national team money just shows that despite all the "progress" the women's game is still dead af and you can't make a living off it

That's what the wnba trying to do and nba already gives them money I think.


so much for women pulling they own weight.

The women team is better on paper but look at their global completion lol, you cant correlate that into generating more revenue imo

How are people not getting this? Ill give the media credit for turning this into a fair pay issue when its really a dikk tax.
