Why haven’t you answered the question?
So you agree the USA women’s team should get equal ( or more!) pay to the men’s team then?
It's a bit wierd only wanting one team to recieve equal pay. That's not the best way to develop women's football is it.
It's not important in the grand scheme of things (unless you are dating one of them!)
It's wanting one team to recieve fair wages based on the income they generate. What's weird about that?
Why start a thread about and take such a strong counter point for 3 pages it if it isn’t important?
That's why I said they should break-away and run their own affairs, and then they can pay each other what they want.
They can pay each other what they want now.
Don't you think it wouldn't make sense to split away from them now after the most succesful and most watched tournement in the history of the womens' game?
So out of all the female players in the world, you only want 23 of them to recieve equal pay? That is a very bizarre viewpoint.
The world cup is the big money spinner and they lost out on $30m due to being controlled by FIFA.
Where have I said that?
How does that relate to what you're replying to?
So what USWNT want is equal pay with their male counterparts at World Cups.
I can certainly see their argument based on their their comparative revenues they achieve.
It should NOT be based on results as evidently the USMNT have got a lot of catching up to do compared with other countries.
USWNT have taken a lead role in developing the women's game, hence their dominance.
The crux of the matter, however is the total revenue achieved at each gender's World Cup and relative share from those.
If USWNT want the same pay as their male counterparts, then that needs to come from the revenue achieved at the Women's World Cup. Their arguments will then be with the other Women's federations, as their percentage will be significantly higher than the winner of the men's World Cup.
The sums available to the other women's teams will be less.
Ultimately, USWNT want a bigger slice of a smaller cake.
Development of the women's game is a separate issue and should not cloud a potentially legal issue.
No. They want equal wages for playing for the national team.
Don't the men get higher bonuses during qualification because the USSF can recoup a larger sum of money if they qualify for a world cup?
Show us where you just googled this mate, ****ing shameless
As mentioned numerous times in this thread the prize pot is approximately 13.3 bigger for the men.Show us where you just googled this mate, ****ing shameless
You are not allowed to talk sense in this thread :redcard:
FIFA don't pay the USWNT players.
Who does?
The national associations/federations.
Is that why you've posted non stop nonsense?
I can't believe people have been arguing for 4 pages and didn't even realise this. Why take such a strong opinion on something that isn't fully understood?
Out of interest, which of us will be affected should these American players earn more money?
I can't understand why some in this thread are so passionate.
Someone will be along shortly to shout economics at you.
Equal play? Did they play against the men?
In what other industry other than sport do women get paid the same as men when they don't compete with the men?
Does Theresa May preside over the women's parliament?
Is Cressida Dick the Chief of the Metropolitan Policewomen only?
Does J.K.Rowling sell books only to women?
Ridiculous argument.
