The federation faced a Monday deadline for its response, which comes just a month before the start of the Women’s World Cup, at which the dominant U.S. team is a favorite. The federation said in the 19-page filing that any alleged pay differential.
So true. It’s the Women’s team’s duty to win matches. The Men’s team -not so much. Perhaps men must be paid more, as a consolation. Kind of like bereavement pay.
Right. And of course the USWNT competes and wins, unlike the men. Seems like the women should get more.
Really they all play soccer for a national team
What do the men's tournaments generate in revenue and what do the woman's tournaments generate. I believe it is around 6B vs. 130M. You do the math.
What a ridiculous comment by USSF
Men's World Cup in Russia generated over $6 billion in revenue, with participating teams sharing $400 million, less than 7% of revenue. Women's World Cup is expected to earn $131 million for the full four-year cycle 2019-22 and dole out $30 million to the participating teams.
If the ticket prices and sales are the same, they should be paid the same. Isn't it just economics? How long would their league last if they paid their players more than they took in? Is the men's league supposed to support them? Is that really equality?
They don't also play soccer?
“The federation, which didn’t include revenue numbers in its filing”.. where can I find this information?
It is about revenue for sports.
Women players have different DUTIES Do tell.
Why would u expect women to get equal pay on soccer ? Most ppl watch men's soccer... Its not about sexism or anything. Just that men's soccer is waaaaay more competitive and better to watch
This is so wrong
LOL There is less horseshit at churchill downs than there is in that puerile statement from the US soccer federation.. They cant even lie well Pay them you cheap bastards
Yeah their duties differ because they actually win the World Cup and qualify for the World Cup consistently..
Was one of the “different duties” for the men to NOT qualify for World Cup? What a crock.
The federation faced a Monday deadline for its response which comes just a month before the start of the Women’s World Cup: Any alleged pay differential between members of the women’s & men’s teams is based on differences in the aggregate revenue generated by the different teams.
Who watch female soccer ? For christ sake

U.S. Names Women’s World Cup RosterThe U.S. Women’s National Team roster might be weaker on defense than the 2015 title squad but boasts a bounty of scorers. It would be nice if they kept the politics out of the game. There’s a couple left wing nuts on the team. I have it on good authority that team sponsor Nike will not rename the gear Dike.
