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?
Facts: The women’s team were offered the exact same deal as the men’s team and rejected it. Take a look at this one too if you want to understand why this was thrown out in the courts. The legal facts can be found here: https://youtu.be/Z59Dk2JIcs0
I can't wait till you lose your case again and a world Cup loss to teach you whiners some humiliate
Play the men, winner takes all, how's that going to work out for y'all,???? then talk
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.
To the two players, when was the last time you tipped your taxi/Uber driver based on Formula 1 drivers salary?
And…. they lost lmao ?
???? they don't want to give up the guaranteed contract but still want equal pay
Never will it be the same. Not worth it.
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..
Yup, I will no longer watch women’s soccer. Ever again.
If USA MALES VS WOMENS would face each other the womens would lose 10-0 even if the guys were 9 players on the field
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.
Just let them play against each other and then decide who should get more !!
Hahahahaha………
They get clapped by dallas u15 and want equal play. what a joke
Lol
Women’s Soccer generate a fraction of the revenue that men generate …
Maybe the women will play better if they get paid.?
Btw before you get offended I’m a girl who plays football too
Why wouldn’t every single structure have to be the same?!? That is how to make everything equal isn’t it?
Wtf is this bs? I hear them talk about the two world cups as if it was the same thing when it’s not
“Elite superstars”
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?
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?
OMG
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.
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.

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.

Lunacy at its best
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…
So alot of women clearly dont understand economics at all.
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?
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
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.
if womens soccer ended tomorrow no one would care
Don’t listen to them ladies. You deserve better.
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
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
Stop the envy
