Re: #Equal Play Equal Pay
According to BBC commercial rights are sold as a package with other men’s competitions so can’t be isolated in that way.
FIFA awarded over 10 times the prize money to men’s world cup compared to women’s.
Players are paid by their national associations so pay comparisons vary. In a couple of countries (NZ and Norway) men and women are paid the same when representing their country.

Maybe they should separate them and pay each group their true worth, or do you think there is some benefit in keeping them together?

After decades of actively suppressing women's football, the authorities should give them more funding so they can grow the game.

So they should implement a subsidised renumeration model, instead of allowing market forces to determine the pay levels?

If it grows the sport, makes it more popular and makes it a more viable business in the long run why not fund it?
Over 11 million watched the england semi final, the interest is there why not capatalise on it.

Plus the men's prize money for winning the world cup percentage wise of overall income is higher than the women's is too.
Seems a bit simplistic to reduce it to what he has. Especially when ignoring how popular the women's game could become with decent investment and decent wages.

Either way, the governing bodies actively stopped women from playing so they should get more money than they earn to grow the game, which in turn will make more money.

What's wrong with investing in something that could have growth potential, but isn't realised without some investment?

Because the people receiving money don't have penises.

I think they are demanding a lot of money before there is any growth. The men's prize money is $400m from a turnover of 6 Billion, while the turnover of the woman's world cup is only $131m.
Re: #Equal Play Equal Pay
How much are they demanding?

Correction: The men's prize money is $440m from a turnover of 6 Billion. So the women want to be paid $440m from a turnover of $131m.
Re: #Equal Play Equal Pay
Is it correct that the USA womens team generate more revenue than the USA mens team?

I'm getting the feeling that economics is not your strong point.

How do you know the turnover is $131m when they don't split the advertising and TV revenue?
In the US, especially, it's probable that the women generate more income than the men.

I get the feeling you’ve chosen a position without knowing any of the facts again and that’s why you can’t answer the question.
The equal pay equal play campaign and litigation that is currently ongoing is related to the wages the US national team players are played of which the USWNT brings in slightly more revenue.
The World Cup prize money has been discussed because percentage wise the men get a bigger cut but that’s not what the court case and campaign are about.

That's the figure Forbes are reporting, you'd better take it up with them if you have any issues with it.
Re: #Equal Play Equal Pay
The Wall Street Journal reports that from 2016 to 2018, U.S. women's games generated about $50.8 million in revenue, compared with $49.9 million for men's games.

News today that France earned $38 million from FIFA for winning soccer's World Cup in Russia, while the women's champion in France this summer will earn just $4 million, has prompted outrage.
The total prize money for the Women's World Cup in France this July will be $30 million compared with total prize money of $440 million for the men's teams at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“The difference between the men’s and women’s prize money is ridiculous,” Tatjana Haenni, who oversaw women’s soccer for FIFA before stepping down in 2017, said, according to the Associated Press. “It’s really disappointing the gap between the men’s and women’s World Cups got bigger. It sends the wrong message.”
