DC:
The reason the women’s national soccer team is paid so much less than the men’s team is buried inside a Guardian explainer on the “gender pay gap,” and it apparently has nothing to do with sexism.
The headline plays up the difference in pay — as much as three quarters of a million dollars — but buries the simple economic realities undergirding the pay structure. “Revealed: the $730,000 gender pay gap in US World Cup bonuses,” it reads.
A graphics display shows that women on the team can earn a maximum of $260,869, while men can earn up to $1,114,429, suggesting sex-based discrimination. But a closer look at the analysis reveals that women actually are paid far more than the men, in terms of the percentage of prize money FIFA doles out for World Cup tournaments, and that women are offered a fixed salary of $100,000 which supplements the bonus system, while men are not. read more
Who cares? It’s frickin soccer. A game for fags and dykes. The WNBA might be more interesting.
can’t wait ’till all the other nations figure out that ‘transexual’ (whatever) women can join their women’s teams, & this group of feminazis representing the US gets their asses kicked by a bunch of high school ‘girls’ from former East Germany
karma’s a bitch, baby!
Here’s the real reason: few people want to watch those assholes play. Now if they played in lingerie….
I will be happy when the blue-haired bull dyke gets her ass kicked. On or off the field.
Soccer has not and never will be a true American game (just like stupid hockey) unless they change the rules and make sure every match has a winner and loser. Americans like winners and losers not wimpy “ties.”
What the hell is “nil” anyway?
The dyke can go fly a kite in Venezuela if she doesn’t like America OR Trump.
Because they would lose to a State Champion boys’ HS Team.
When the women’s team can beat the men’s team the women can have more money.
Until then STFU
This ^^^^.
Any “champion” team that gets beaten by 14 year old boys does not deserve the kind of money they think they should get.
