Equal pay World Cup ?

Do you believe women’s World Cup team should get paid as much as men despite the fact that men’s World Cup made 6 billion in revenue while women’s World Cup made 131 million?

Why distinguish between men’s and women’s World Cup anyway — Just have one World Cup and let everyone play, whichever team wins gets the prizes. That’d be pretty equal isn’t it?

Yeah all the white countries will try to send mixed teams out of equality guilt and the African countries would be like fuck this shit, its time for us to dominate world sports now.

By total revenue, uswnt already brings in more than usmnt. But they get shafted :( zero compensation for a lost game, wtf? Men get $5k each when they lose. And they lose a lot more than the women!

Men get paid on bonuses only per game. Women get a 100k base salary. It comes down to the last collective bargaining agreements. Although I believe the MLS clubs.pay the players to be on the national team as well. Regarding revenues, because the men's team sucked.so badly and missed the cup, the women's team made more revenue. So they should probably have made more than the men over the past few years. The biggest inequality is the facilities and travel etc. The women have to deal with much lower quality stuff which is just shameful.

The us women’s team brings in more than the us men’s team. In fact they have been supporting the men’s team for years. The revenue of the World Cup overall is irrelevant here — other countries are extremely sexist and haven’t developed womens game the way the us has.

This is factually inaccurate due to the amount of money that the World Cup makes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2019/03/07/world-cup-soccer-pay-disparity-between-men-and-women-is-justified/#765817ea6da4 If you have evidence that sponsorships make the women’s team more money - ok... I’m always happy to learn something new. However, you’re going to have to prove that instead of write a feels based post

Is it possible you don’t understand that FIFA and US soccer are different organizations? The us women generate more money for us soccer than the men, even after including the money US soccer gets from FIFA

Stupid survey. Why would you look at World Cup revenue when the players are employed by and are suing the US Soccer Federation (they’re employer). For their employer, women have brought in more revenue and therefore, based on the results of this shitty survey, should be making more. Right? Or what am I missing?

Thanks for the post. Will take a look later. Here’s one that I saw: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/08/are-us-womens-soccer-players-really-earning-less-than-men/?utm_term=.03166cec2ee0

If the men made the World Cup final, their viewership, revenue, and sponsorship opportunities would be 100x that of the women. Pay isn’t just about past results, it’s also about future potential ROI. Do male swimsuit models make as much as women?

LOL

You are saying the US men's team has potential to get to the final?????

Not as long as Rapinoe is on the team.

Misleading premise. You're comparing global World Cup revenue but the numbers for the *US* men's and women's teams are about equal. The complaint isn't about the global World Cup prize money (which is outside the teams' control) but the salary (& other comp) they are paid to be part of the national-level professional team the rest of the time.

Would you also support pay of CEO of startup same as that of Google's?

Soccer is boring. Nobody should get any money.

Google Blame Ruth Jul 11, 2019

By that metric, nobody should get money for software engineering either 😆

Apple ijyA68 Jul 11, 2019

Software engineers are not supposed to be entertainers. Chasing a little ball around a field and pretending to fall down is 😴😴😴

Men are paid 7% of the total revenue. Women are paid 22% of the total revenue. Now you tell me.

Airbnb kYFK02 Jul 11, 2019

Google pays 50% of revenue. Your startup pays 1000%. What’s your point?

Snowflake Computing tech wala Jul 11, 2019

You are proportionally worth the revenue you bring in. If anything, men are getting paid less.
