Megan Rapahoe back at it again calling for equal pay.

Exactly right, you'd think that if women truly supported other women, out of principle they'd pack the arenas & watch/DVR all the games to make a case for equal pay.

[Inspirited]

women's sports are generally minor leagues. they are only in the position they are in to make the money they make because of the separation of men and women in sports. because they are women, they are making more money than men who are much better than them but can't make it in the men's leagues.

[maggiethebestdog]

It's pretty simple
If they pull in the same revenue as the men, they should be paid the same
I don't know the numbers and really don't care

It doesn't matter that the men could beat them 50-0 in a game, or that the women play at a 10 yr old boy's level

It's all about the revenue in professional sports when it comes to pay

[MinnesotaFats]

Obviously this idiot plays both sides of the argument as most libs do.

The hypocrisy is insane

She wants equal pay as men, not union negotiated revenue sharing

But if she actually had a marketable skill she'd want union negotiated revenue sharing lol

Democrats at their best...want both sides of the issue and someone else to pay.

Let me expound
Anyone that has watched a WNBA game knows that it is a mockery of the game of basketball

That is why they create no revenue and actually lose money every year

The fact that they make any money at all, and complain about how much they make, is laughable

HOWEVER, if they, through some bizzare supernatural occurrence, generated as much revenue as the NBA, then they should be paid the same regardless of how terrible they are at basketball

Once again, I don't even care enough to look up revenue numbers for US soccer, but if the women pull in as much revenue as the men, they deserve the same money even though they suck

I think the revenue numbers are much closer in US soccer between men and women, as opposed to other sports

Maybe I'm wrong on that

[Kermit]

The only women that should get paid more than men are Beach Volley Ball players.

Well...you're argument is a bit off.

FIFA pays the players in world cup years. That's the big disparity, the men's winner makes more than the entire female field.

As for US Soccer, it's tricky, which is why they play both sides here as I stated.

The CBA the ladies have is NOT based on revenue sharing. Thou they argue, via ticket sales, they generate equal revenue, which they do. However, the TV & endorsement packages are bundles. This is the disconnect. If the US Soccer Fed were to move to equal pay, the men's team would form its own union and self market the TV & sponsorships, which would sink the ladies.

You'll NEVER get a comment on this from the men, because they are in the same union currently, but this is the deception of the females argument...the hypocrisy as I stated.

LOL

I stated that I don't know anything, or care, about how these people are paid


My only "argument" is that if the women bring in as much revenue as the men, they should be paid the same, regardless of the fact that they suck

That would include all revenue sources

The system used to pay them seems pretty stupid and complicated to me

Just one more reason for me to not care about soccer of any kind

My main point was that professional sports is entertainment, and it is not really based on talent, but more so on revenue generation

Obviously, better talent should lead to more revenue, especially in sports, but that isn't a requirement to get paid

Just look at music, where talent means nothing to get paid

It's all about revenue

Once again, fukk soccer

Woman don't have time for that s#it. Too busy fighting to take over and then work man jobs.

How do you expect the Corporate Fukks™ to increase their bottom line bonuses???

[cincinnatikid513]

crazy last year miami tennis was paying over 1.3 million to winners this year only 300k


According to Simon Cambers of Tennis Majors, Miami will offer $300,110 to the winners of the men’s and women’s singles, far less than the $1.354,000 offered to singles champions in 2019.

Cambers reports that total prize money at the Miami Open will drop from $16.7 million in 2019 to $6.68 million ($3.34 million for each of the ATP and WTA events) in 2021.

Wonder what Pat Tillman would have to say about this pink haired dyke who never had to give up one single day of a favorite game in support of her/his/it's/whatever freedom to spew this nonsense?

In a court (as a lawyer) maybe, in a hypothetical maybe, but not in economics or business matters.

The reason the girls make less is because they don't have a marketable product. The reason the girls even have a team is because of the tail coats of the men's soccer & it's affiliation with FIFA.

If the ladies had something, they'd organize like the NBA or MLB and get into revenue sharing as the determination of their wage, but the ladies can't do that in a practical matter.

But instead of calling out the facts, instead of asking "why doesn't US CONSUMERS want to watch me or companies associate with me?" she turns blatantly political, plays the victim card, and asks for government interference.

Someone should ask Ramone if she shares her endorsement money from Body Armor equally with all her teammates??

I watched the Iowa beat up Kentucky the other day


And while I liked seeing those girls put it on UK's azz, it's still unbearable to watch.

All of this equal pay nonsense needs to cease.

Somebody is just going to have to come out and tell there girls straight up "Hey, nobody wants to watch you".

The one thing that would be nice in my opinion is a female professional football league.

They are onto something with that lingerie league.

Create a serious one and I think it would catch on big time.

cheny/bush gang new how to benefit off Pat Tillman,in the midst of THEIR "hijacking" The USA.

[pologq]

it is all fine and dandy to want equal pay but if your sport does not generate the income where does the money come from? heaven?

look at porn. the girls, at least before the internet, used to have millions of dollars in contracts. i am not sure how it is now. the guys are always paid way less because the girls are the stars.

[TheGoldenGoose]

With nobody in the stands because of the covid pandemic I don't see where any athlete of any major sport will be earning the coin they were in 2020.

correct. and the reason womens prize money is the same as the mens is because they bring in the same amount of revenue or more. womens basketball, golf, etc do not bring in the big bucks thats why they had smaller weight rooms and smaller buffet setup. these athletes are taking it too personal.

Megan Rapinoe is not even a woman. What the fuk is wrong with these people?

[VeggieDog]

This is very easy to fix. Women's sports leagues can't pay the players as much as men because they don't have the same t.v. revenue as the men. Fix that. Pass a law. All the networks that pay for men sports coverage must pay the same for women's sports and provide equal time. And companies that buy advertising time during men's sports will have to buy an equal amount of time for women's sports and pay the same rate for both.

That's the problem with Rappones argument....

US SOCCER ad sales are already bundled together w women's lol

Their sport is so fukking bad, so unmarketable, that they have to bundle the TV ad sales to get advertising to pay these bums

[TheGoldenGoose]

Never liked Soccer period so that's not a problem. Was ruined early on that sport when my 6 year olds team went 0-9-1 his first season. The team scored TWO FUKKING GOALS all season long (guess by who). The only thing the coach did right was pull my son and put him in goal to protect the 1-1 tie that game. Fukk Soccer.

Now, I beg to differ on the WNBA. It all depends on what market area. My State of CT has always been SUPER HUGE on woman's baskets because of the UCONN program which probably supplies 15% of the total WNBA talent. Mohegan Sun PACKS with their games and for the unforseeable future probably will continue to amaze.
