That's not what the campaign is about though, it's about wanting equald wages because they play the same amount of games and bring in more revenue. Do you think that's fair?Quote:

And they do because the women don't get anywhere near the same percentage of revenue generated that the men do.Quote:

Just to reiterrate even though prize money was mentioned after they won the world cup the real issue is the wages paid to both of the US teams:
I'll ask again is this fair?Quote:
Breaking...statement from spokesperson for @USWNT players involved in equal pay lawsuit v @ussoccer: “At this moment of tremendous pride for America, the sad equation remains all too clear, and Americans won’t stand for it anymore These athletes generate more revenue and garner higher tv ratings but get paid less simply because they are women. It is time for the Federation to correct this disparity once and for all.
It's simple economics, they don't produce enough revenue to receive parity with the men's game.Quote:

What’s wrong with either of those things?
I'm talking about the $440 million prize money.Quote:

Woman's fashion generates more money, so the female models get paid more. It's simple economics.Quote:

Not sure what that has got to do with prize money though?
So you agree the USA women’s team should get equal ( or more!) pay to the men’s team then?Quote:

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.Quote:
