#Equal Play Equal Pay

[rudy gestede]

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?


Ridiculous argument.

Is it still a ridiculous argument when the women bring in more revenue than the men?

Why would it bother you if the women were Paid the same as 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?

What?!

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

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?

For much this thread we were talking about the World Cup comparisons. Surely FIFA would be in charge of the purse strings for that.

If the federations pay, then surely it is quite simple.

The team should get an equal percentage of total receipts, irrespective of gender.

If USWNT generate more total receipts (gate money, merchandise, TV and advertising rights, etc.) than their male counterparts, then the should receive more money than their male counterparts.

That's great, what's the problem?

The thread is about equal pay equal play which is about the wages the USWNT receive. They receive much less than the men despite bringing in more revenue.

There is a side point that it would be good if the women’s prize money was increased, but not to the level of the men’s World Cup. I’m not talking about that but I don’t think increasing the prize money would be a bad thing.

You might not be talking about that, but many others were.

The women's game outside of the USA, may be careful what they wish for.

It really is down to the relative success of each team or individual.

That applies to virtually every sport.

Women's football wanting equal pay with their male counterparts is ridiculous.

It's a bit like the Solihull Moors players wanting the same money as Man City players.

They both play a game of football for the same number of minutes.

However, each team should be paid the same percentage of total receipts, irrespective of gender and capability.

USWNT will gain, the majority of the women's game will lose out.

According to this they had different types of deals, per season and per match.

They could also request the splitting of TV & sponsorship deals, to find out the true worth each team. At the moment one side is benefitting more than the other.

If that's all correct what is the point ofthe court case? Just seems a comlpete waste of time.

Why would it bother you if the women were Paid the same as men?

It wouldn't. What bothers me is that if I want a pay rise I either get promotion, change job or renegotiate my contract with my employer instead of bitching about it on social media. It pisses me off when I hear male footballers moan in the same way claiming they're some sort of slave, for instance.

In the case in point, it sounds like they may need a better agent.
