“No federal funds may be appropriated or otherwise made available to provide support for the 2026 World Cup, including support for a host city, a participating State or local agency, the United States Soccer Federation, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football , or the Federation de Football Association , until the date on which the United States Soccer Federation agrees to provide equitable pay,” the bill reads.
On Sunday, the USWNT won the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup with a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands. The USWNT never trailed during the tournament and beat the second, third and fourth place teams on its way the title.
He should buy tickets for their matches first. Then name the club where these players play. 🤷🏻♀️
NCAA players should get paid they generate billions more dollars in revenue than any womans sport yet get paid nothing.
Simple solution. Once every 4 years female team should play against men team. Goal difference should be use as an equalizer for financial compensation. If there is tie, 50/50. If men loose 10:0 they should get pay 10x less and so on....
Men are on incentive based contract with no base salary, while the women make 100g per yr with bonuses.
Get ready men’s teams to share equally with the women. Women pro basketball players could be instant millionaires
The bill says 'equitable'. Equitable and equal are not the same thing.
Hmm, how about just not funding it at all with taxpayer money? They do just fine on their own...
Maybe the boys under 15 team should demand equal pay also since they destroyed this woman’s team 5-2.
See what Common Core has done?
Good job team but put Butch in the back.
The men are going to be pissed when they get a pay cut so they make the same as the women...
If they are bringing in the same money they deserve the same pay. If they are not, they shouldn’t. Entertainment - which is what football is - is not a welfare industry.
Is that bill also going to enforce equal revenue must be earned by all US national teams? And give the women's teams a percentage pay cut so it's all equal? What if the women's team can't produce the same revenue? What kind of 'phobic' or 'ist' will you call it then?
They look like gorillas
It's not equal pay, it's unfair to male athletes.
And when men transitioning play on the team?
So do women’s sports sell as many tickets as men’s sports? I rather doubt it. There’s the rub.
Sure, if senator Manchin can prove the women's games produce the same income as the men's matches. That might be tough.
Good i still hate Manchin, but this a good deal
Both Men And Women should get the same percentage of the revenues their respective teams generate, period! If the men generate 1 Billion, they get 10%...if the women generate 70 million they get 10%..that’s fair
AntiAmerican 👎
The mens world cup generated 53 times the amount of the Womens, unless they are paid 1/54th of that of the mens team they are not underpaid. 6.2 billion v 118 million
Penis
Only if they can beat the men’s World Cup champion.

TRHLofficial That would actually put some of them out of business.
USWNT OneNationOneTeam EqualPay
Go girls
LoL!
Not a good idea...
Request them to play like men too not like 6 standard kids
Senator Manchin apparently appreciates women's soccer more than the fans themselves. Or he's pandering to people who don't understand simple economic principles and blackmailing those who do.
Well they should at least get paid the same, just for the fact that contrary to the men’s team, at least they are world champion… LOL at the moron at WMALDriveatFive who thinks they should NOT be paid the same. At least the women won…
Be realistic, women's teams can't make money as much as men's, by enforcing equal pay you put pressure on football clubs and eventually make them bankrupt and disappeared.
They should get paid more than men if the idea is to empower them.
What has our world come to. I weep for my grandchildren - both young Woman & Men. I grew up in So. Boston and my Grandfather taught all of us if u want something - go out and EARN IT!!
Equal Pay For Equal Shreds: World Surf League Will Award Same Prizes To Men And Women
We will have equal pay for Lingerie Football first.
I thought the 2019 national women's team already earned more than the 2018 men's team. Are they arguing for sharing money with the men?
Waste of time. Ask the corporations who sponsor the games
I agree with equal pay for equal work. The women's team doesn't do the same work as the men's team.
You mean the team that lost to 15 year old boys lol. That team should get more pay?
How’s he going to enforce equal viewing numbers. Face it, they’ve got a long way to go in getting bums on seats and eyeballs on the screen. No advertiser is going to pay for minimal exposure
the public decide,no? If you are better,you should receive more.
Where does the money come from? I'll be damned if U.S. tax payers will be on the hook to guarantee equal pay for sports teams.
So pay has nothing to do with quality? 😏👇
Force Charity on tax payers. What a Shame.
Thank you Sen_JoeManchin.
and pay them all with what?
This team isn't American so they can take what pay they get for playing a game.
