US women soccer players want equal pay to US men's team.

You say PC like it's a slur.

 

its not the same work at all

the women play five matches to qualify for the world cup over the course of like a month usually in 2/3 cities in the us.

the men's team has to play like 16 games over two years all over and travel thousands of miles.

 

who push for equality in draft ....it was those evil MRA groups. the dictionary femininist didn't touch it with a fifty for pole.

 

your right . It was pretty sexist that hope solo wasn't given the ray rice treatment.

 

It's hard for Randle not to Slur his speech when Nurse Ratchet keeps slipping double doses of Political Correctness into that Red Koolaid poor McMurphy is forced to swallow.

 

That’s a terrific point.

 

Were there any competitive matches in 2018?

 

Haha get a load of this guy. Calls others stupid, doesn’t elaborate his point further because he can’t be bothered to (and us poor plebes wouldn’t understand anyway), and then makes a provactive, yet pathetic, “Chad” remark. Did you really join BigSoccer in 1999? Given your manner of writing I’m assuming you’re still in middle school and logged onto your dad’s account.

The argument concerns reference points for quality of play and levels of competition, both of which can be measured at an absolute level. Women on the lower end of the distribution and men on the higher end. Quality of play and levels of competition are what lead to the pay disparities being argued here.

You won’t explain your point because you can’t.

Now shut your mouth and sit down you moron.
Also, don’t forget to log off your dad’s account.

 

Calling posters incels, telling others you’re sorry “Chad” stole their girlfriends...

You should take the advice of that one poster who said you spend too much time on Internet forums. Log off BigSoccer, click that X in the top right corner of your browser, shut off the computer that you clearly spend too much time in front of and maybe go outside.

Because your projections of insecurity are glaring and sad :/

With the time you’ve had to write 60,000+ posts I’m guessing you decided to skip over being incel to voluntarily celibate instead.

 

they want to keep all the historical advantages that have come with being women and everything else to be enforced as 100% equal regardless of the circumstances....its insane.

true equality would be 1 competition that is open to both genders based on merit - not separate competitions for each gender. the fact that they can even have a team in the first place is charity....they should be grateful for what they do have.

bottomline: how many people in the world have their salaries determined by idealism and fairness?

how many people are systematically shielded from truly open competition in job attainment?

the salaries people generally have are a result of competition and results - the women are not generating much profit - not nearly as much as the mediocre men.....the idea that both genders should get equal pay in different competitions is illogical.

the women should be paid based on the profits that they are generating - which has nothing to do with what the men are doing. equal pay for equality's sake is absurd.

the womens team should break away from us soccer and have their own organization that sets its own rules. us soccer should push for that solution.

 

I see everyone has met superdave.

This is his thing.

 

Not sure about USSF but for most federations, a significant part of the revenue comes from regional and international competitions.

At the current international format, it is tough to argue the teams to the same job if they play different competition at different venues and dates.

An easy fix, IMHO, is to merge the WCs. Instead of increasing the WC to 48 teams (which would delude the game IMO) merge WWC and WC. Split all payment and prizes equally.

Women game supporters argue that the WWC isn't as big as WC due to lack of media coverage, sponsors, etc. (This is hard to prove either way). Combining the WCs would create enough coverage of the women's game to boost the domestic leagues around the world.

 

This is actually a great idea.

 

25 million watched the WWC final compared to 11.8 for the men's.

 

"Final" or "Finals"?

One matters a bunch more than the other.

 

and?

Fifa wants to increase the WC to 48 teams... The issue with gender pay is here to stay. There is no reason to have a separate WC for women. Merging the WC will not devalue the WC (just like including women in the Olympics didn't).

I'm not saying WWC should get the same prize or pay - they generate less revenue so they shouldn't. But if you combine the events, she should get half. Most fans would watch both games, just like the Olympics.

 

The women wouldn't go for it as they'd get beat, hard, in every single game. Itd be hard to not get humiliated

 

Dude, seriously...

Women would not play against men. Did you ever watch the Olympics? Same format. One (or more) host nation(s) two competition a male and a female WC during the same period... You must be trolling me

 

You probably should 1)cite your work and 2)clarify the unit of measure in the second number, and 3)clarify the viewing markets that you claim those numbers represent.

Now compare the entire tournament in each case.
