  1. So if you strike, they will have to pay you what you are worth. But you want to get paid so you agree to play for an agreed amount but then you decide you want more so you sue. What is the reason contracts are negotiated? If you don't want the same contract how is anyone supposed to determine what is equitable? isn't that wha contract negotiations are for?

  2. Reminder: They negotiated and signed the contract they play under. It contains benefits the men don't receive. Their competitions don't draw anything near the revenue the men's game draws and the men playing teams like France, Spain, Brazil, Italy is incomparable to the women playing those international women's teams.

  3. Even with equal investment and promotion people still watch men soccer vs women's soccer.. why?? Because Mens soccer is playing in a higher level than womens.. women's games are dull low energy short distance kicks.. 15 year old boys are even better..

  4. Do they not realize that secluding men from their team, is gender discrimination? anyways, if they generate as much revenue, or more, i dont see a problem in paying equal or more than male soccer players. BUT…. women bring in 1/4 the revenue that males do. so, i dont see women earning an equal pay. Males play all year. women play for 1 season. this is just another division between the sexes, with no legitimate claim to what women are crying for.

  5. If I'm a farmer, who do I sue when it doesn't rain?
    If I'm a lazy person and sleep all day (this is mostly true), who do I sue because I'm not making as much money as my neighbor, who is always working hard?

  6. If they win the lawsuit, where will the money come from?
    The bank account of the American Soccer Federation?
    Haven't we realized that the Federation doesn't have the money because the soccer games haven't brought in the revenue in the first place?

    Simple economics: If the ASF had the money, they'd have paid it out to the players.
    Simple reality: The women aren't going to get any money, because it doesn't exist.

    PS: these women are the same people that want free health care for all illegal immigrants.
    Where do they think all this money comes from?

  7. Being that I'm black and male I'm just glad that everybody is calling women and females on their crap as much as everybody calls black people on their crap, that's all I gotta say.

  8. Does anyone happen to know why in the year 2019 the selective service board requires men
    to register for a potential draft but women STILL !! are not required to do this ?
    And why are no womens groups complaining about this unequal treatment ??
    If the US ever has to begin drafting people for an army quickly, I suspect that
    any attempt to do this will have to go through the courts for weeks if not months
    to resolve because so many men will bring suit to end this unequal treatment under the law.

    Not to mention the number of men and women who will now find a doctor who will swear
    they have bone spurs for a reasonably small fee.

  9. Most Americans watch 3 or 4 womens soccer games however often it is they play the world cup.
    That's is NOTT a sustainable sport, it's a novelty act.
    The problem is NOTT that the women aren't making enough.
    The men are obviously being paid wayyyyy too much for playing US soccer
    and they should be reduced to what the women are making ASAP.

  10. I am honestly sick of this equal pay rant… if they want equality they should play in the league where mens play… if they play better than some of the mens they they should be paid accordingly…

  11. Shouldn't the extreme dominance of the US women's team (over other women's teams btw) be an obvious indicator for the lack of competition and thus overal quality of women's football/soccer?

  12. Real simple … We want to watch the best athletes in that sport and it just happens that men athletes are the best in any sport.

    When the U15 boys, meaning 13 and 14 year old boys owned the worlds best US women's soccer team easily 5 to 2 and they want equal pay, I don't think so.

    So the next time you watch a women's soccer game remember these women are playing below a 14-year-old boys skill level, They are not doing anything special

  13. I don’t care how many cups they have won. Their game sucks, women’s soccer just sucks, is not the same as men’s soccer – it’s lame to watch… women’s games are slow and clumsy.

  14. There is no gender discrimination- USA world champions women's team lost 5-1 to Dallas under 15 boys; shouldn't the boys be paid at least as much too? Men don't expect equal pay for doing a much inferior quality of work; why do women? Females in various Western countries are privileged and feminists are deluded

  15. US mens team who are just below average earners in comparison should be disbanded and we should pay more to these athelets who are already the high paid players.. Cool
