More people watch the women’s team in America, and they’re more successful, and they bring in more revenue.
US Soccer should pay them AT LEAST the same for representing their country, with bonuses for success.
BTW, we are not talking big money here...£10,000 a game or something!!!
US Soccer is getting rich off the women’s game...they play waaaay more games than the men, because the women do it to promote the women’s game and because there is damned to see them play...and the women, most of whom make a pittance for being some of the world’s best in their field, just want EQUALITY.
It is long overdue.
And, I agree that women’s tennis should be paid the same as men’s tennis...at the Davis Cup, where they represent their country!
The whole “we play 3 sets, they play 5, but we want the same money” is, in my mind, bollocks. If the men’s winner makes $5,000,000, then the women’s winner should earn $3,000,000. Fair is fair!
