It's simple economics, they don't produce enough revenue to receive parity with the men's game.

I'll ask again is this fair?

Like I said split them into two and let each look after their own interests, and then they can pay them according to revenue.

Fair play, that made me laugh.

That's how I would run a business, they are separate entities with different long-term objectives.

They don’t want parity on prize money though, they want it to be increased because they’re getting a much smaller cut of the revenue generated.

They want parity on wages because they earn more revenue than the men’s team.

What’s wrong with either of those things?

They get a bigger % of the revenue than the men do.

Reading this thread you’d struggle to run a bath. You’ve tied yourself in knots furiously arguing against something you’ve got literally no idea about.

Why do you even care so much about this to have such a strong opinion on it?

Because it's WB. And sadly he's sucked me in.

The solution is simple, if the women aren't happy they should break-away and run their own affairs.

In terms of prize money they do not. Prize money was only mentioned in passing anyway.

The real issue is the USWNT want parity with the men because they generate more revenue, is that bad?

I'm not the one who is moaning about wanting more money. You always focus on other people instead of the subject under discussion :biggrin:

WB, for the love of all things holy, I have explained that the US women generate more money than the men. I have rammed this fact down your throat. You have willfully ignored it to spout other shite. The US women want to be paid the same as the men. If anything, they should be paid more, at least by your logic. Please, just stop.

I'm talking primarily about the world cup, so in the long rung the women are better off going it alone. The US is only one country, what about the rest of the players? They should develop the woman's game separately, and not be restricted by FIFA.

So do models, but the men get paid 75% less.

They should try and close the pay gap then.

What’s their pay got to do with prize money though?

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

The USWNT brings in more revenue than the men's team they should get equal pay.

Do male models bring in as much revenue as female models?

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?

Who's talking about them? As long as they're fairly paid and happy that they're fairly paid I don't see a problem.
