women Soccer players pay should be equal to Men's?!!? NOT!!!

I saw this crap on tv that American women soccer players want equal pay to the men since supposedly they generated $20million dollars more revenue. Well I'm sorry but they are exaggerating tremendously! ONly during certain events do they generate all this income, but for the most part the men will ultimately generate more money. Secondly it's women's soccer in the U.S.  because soccer isn't a topnotch sport in the U.S. for Men! That's why this conspiracy by American businessmen to try an destroy Fifa so that they can take over the soccer industry themselves and put the money in their pockets. But soccer or really football, for that's the real name of this game, is a MAN'S sport and people want to watch men play it! The only female player that even interests me a little is that awesome superstar Hope Solo! Otherwise, women need to go to the games and cheer the men on coz' I really don't want to watch no women play soccer unless it's in the nude. I'll play good money to see that!

The gap between projected revenue — $23 million for the USWNT and $21 million for the USMNT — in 2016 stands at $2 million, but, as demonstrated by the revenue detail, the USWNT’s revenue is set to nearly double what the USMNT will haul in ($17 million to $9 million) in 2017.
And yet, the men will outearn the women by an outrageous amount in 2016. As espnW pointed out, if the USWNT win all of their 20 annual scheduled friendlies (a reasonable expectation), they’ll be paid 37 percent of what the men would if they somehow managed the same feat. And the men even make more for losing! As the complaint notes, the women would make less even if they won every match while the men lost each one of theirs. Additionally, the men receive $5,000 bonus minimums for playing more than their set 20 game schedule — the women get squat.
But this isn’t just about basic wages. The women also earn less than the men for sponsorship appearances, have a smaller per diem while with the national team, and receive a smaller share of ticket revenue bonuses.
For winning matches, the USWNT earn 37 cents to every dollar the men earn for the same feat — substantially below the current gender wage gap, which stands at 79 cents on the dollar.
These facts are in no way acceptable, especially given pre-existing unequal conditions for professional men and women soccer players in the United States. Players in the National Women’s Soccer League earn between $6,842 and $37,800 (though USWNT players, whose salaries are subsidized by U.S. Soccer, earn more than that), while the average MLS salary was $207,831 in 2014, per Empire of Soccer. U.S. Soccer paying its female internationals fairly would help mitigate the wage canyon at the club level.  

On top of pay discrepancies, the women have had to deal with an unholy amount of on-the-pitch bullshit — they’re forced to play in substandard working conditions. The 2015 World Cup was infamously played in artificial turf, all while every FIFA-sanctioned men’s match got played on natural grass. The turf crisis is so bad that the USWNT has been forced to boycott certain friendlies, and a December 2015 match in Hawaii was canceled a day after midfielder Megan Rapinoe tore her ACL training on turf. Lest we forget, forward Sydney Leroux’s bloodied her knees by training on turf in April 2013:

In a Thursday morning statement, U.S. Soccer refused to comment on the specifics of the women’s lawsuit (which, in context, is a piece of a larger legal battle against U.S. Soccer to obtain a new collective bargaining agreement), but did thump their chests about their progressive stance in women’s soccer:

We have been a world leader in women’s soccer and are proud of the commitment we have made to building the women’s game in the United States over the past 30 years.

This is true — they’ve help cultivate the best women’s team in the world, and compared to Spain and Brazil, the USWNT doesn’t see unrelenting sexism fly directly into their faces. The current wage gap, however, is a hidden, nasty part of U.S. Soccer’s own systematic sexism, which the USWNT’s complaint bluntly pointed out:

There are no legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for this gross disparity of wages, nor can it be explained away by any bona fide seniority, merit or incentive system or any factor other than sex.

If U.S. Soccer has been leading the way for the past 30 years in so many areas, why then does the buck suddenly stop when it comes down to dollars and cents? U.S. Soccer has staked their claim as a progressive force in women’s soccer. American soccer players across the country are grateful for that. But just because that’s been true in the past doesn’t mean the American women — and especially their federation — shouldn’t continue to lead the way in moving the entire sport into an even better, and more equal, future.
It’s time to pay up. 

Women are gonna' have to get used to the fact that some things just are not going to be. We really don't want to see women playing no soccer. The women may have generated a lot of income for a certain series of events this year but through the rest of the season, people are not going to pay to see no women play! It's like basketball, the women are not equal to the men, and never will be! Most folks dont want to see women play no basketball! Just like they don't want to see them play no soccer!! Now women's tennis can make an argument for they are more popular than the men being we get to see them run around in short skirts! Otherwise, women work best as cheerleaders for major sports and not as the principal players! That will never change!!
