Professional sports leagues are different from national teams, don’t you think… Professional league pay should be based on what the market demands.

then the WNBA should be paying you to watch… they are literally 100% supported by the NBA

Perhaps, but I think the women’s lawsuit against US Soccer is based on how much revenue they generate as compared to the men.

This is the argument (at least in the legal filing) that the women are making.

Ie pay to market, and when I say market I am talking about the 501c filing from US soccer.

To be fair they are not going to extremes and asking for more money than the men, just a reasonable rate which is likely provable to be equal.

Yea, but if you aren’t watching the WNBA right now, they shouldn’t be win their suit. At least according to DJRed, a very stable genius.

“Ya but women’s soccer sucks!”

That’s the argument when faced with maths and stuff that I heard in the original thread way back when.

Ok, just so we’re clear. We only arguing for equal pay USWNT vs. USMNT and the women’s pro sports leagues can F-off? Is that what the WNT was arguing for?

Are you, or anyone you know, supporting these women’s sports through ticket purchases, merchandise, or viewership?

Correct, this is a very specific employment case. A group of workers fighting one employer (US soccer) over pretty specific pay discrepancies.

Yes, I watched the women’s world cup and I know lots of other people that did. The women’s jersey is selling way more than the men’s.

No. But I don’t watch the NBA or men’s soccer either.

I think the women have a good argument against US soccer. They have a shit argument against FIFA for prize money or their professional teams, the latter isn’t even remotely fiscally possible.

That’s probably why there is only the one lawsuit.

And no other than the World Cup I don’t watch women’s soccer generally because there’s too much high quality men’s soccer as is.

I don’t know if it was Rapinoe or someone else I read some quotes from but yes they recognize the pro league has no shot at it.

Although at the World Cup they seemed to be indicating “equal pay”

I’m still confused as to how a bargained for agreement is somehow USA Soccer’s fault.

Not sure that’s correct: https://www.prosoccerusa.com/us-soccer/womens-world-cup/uswnt-equal-pay-mike-bianchi/

Also, during the women’s game yesterday (which I’m apparently the only person who watched) ESPN showed a number of young girls holding up “equal pay” signs.

Yes, I watched the women’s world cup and I know lots of other people that did. The women’s jersey is selling way more than the men’s.

So you watched an event that takes place once every four years and know the women’s jersey sells better than men’s.

Next time you’re at a soccer field note the jerseys young boy soccer fans are wearing. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not a USMNT jersey. There are far better players worldwide and those are the jerseys the boys are buying. So sure, the USWNT is NIKE’S best-selling jersey, but that’s because many other jersey’s are made by ADIDAS.

I’m still confused as to how a bargained for agreement is somehow USA Soccer’s fault.

Well yeah, that will be for the courts to decide. All I’m saying is that the women do seem to have some basis for equal pay for equal work from US soccer, but that appears to be about the only situation that that argument could hold water.

Which part, that article seems to be indicating what I said. It’s ambiguous in any part where equal pay might pertain to the women’s professional league. It’s a non-starter anyway. There’s just not the money.

It’s important to keep in mind that we don’t have to divide ourselves up into rabid SJWs and people that must think women’s soccer sucks.
