against the U.S. Soccer Federation, with previously unpublished depositions along with collective bargaining agreements of the men’s and women’s teams appearing in a Thursday court filing. , the men’s and women’s collective bargaining agreements are very different from each other, with a disparity in bonuses and as well as pay structure for the two teams.

The AP reported that Rapinoe said U.S. Soccer lawyer Russell Sawyer told her “market realities are such that the women do not deserve to be paid equally to the men.” In contrast, when the men’s team last qualified for the World Cup in 2014, all players⁠—referred to as the “pool”—split $2 million, along with an additional $3.6 million for making it to the round of 16, while each individual player received $55,000 for making the roster, as well $5,500 per match.

Equally would be an equal percentage of revenue.

this never gets old...

This is why she wants to be a man

So she was told the truth and couldnt handle it.

It's not gender discrimination, it's what the advertising market will yield. No different than movies, actors get paid based on the expected gross, whether actor is female or male.

Get a real job...

She’s not a good example. A lady w real talent will make whatever the market demands. Soccer (w) is a low skill sport and Megan is mediocre at best.

Seeing as women have made more revenue for USA soccer than the men these past few years... just sit that shit out until they change the pay scale.

Let me guess - it was Mike Bloomberg, right?

Remember when they got beat by 16yr boys

Men bring more money into the game than women. Men deserve higher wages in football thats for sure.

Well, its true, in football
