It's more to do with revenue bring in. If a football team has 100,000 fans willing to pay $50 to watch a match, not counting memorabilia, then that team earns $5,000,000 for the upkeep of their facilities and for the team. Keeping 1,000,000 for overheads and given that there's maybe 20 players on the team (plus managers and coaches), that would be $200,000 per match per person.

If a women's team has 20,000 fans willing to pay no more than $10, then they're going to have revenue of $200,000 to divide between the team and facilities. Keeping $100,000 for overheads and given our same 20 person team that would be $5,000 per person per match.

You want more pay, you have to attract more people.

They actually had a plan to have women play in skirts, but they stopped it for some bs feminist reason.

Exactly. Women's sports suck in almost every way. They simply don't bring in as much money as men's sports do. The US Women's soccer team can bitch as much as they want, the fact is they don't bring in enough revenue to justify paying them as much as the men.

Gymnastics is good, IMO, and that's a sport that women dominate.

I mostly agree here. The only women's sports I stop to watch are tennis and volleyball. I'll occasionally watch women's hockey but I'll watch just about any hockey game really.

This, 100% this. There literally isnt any momey in women soccer when compared to mens. So where the fuck will they physically get the money? Im guess they want to find a way to use mens sports teams money to pay womens teams...

That's exactly what the model is. Money made by the male leagues gets funneled into the women's so they can quit their day jobs and larp as full time pro sports players. With the (((managers))) taking their cut of course.

So a league of women and 15 year old boys would pretty much just be 15 year old boys.

Messi and Ronaldo may as well identify as 15 too.

So basically it’s entirely unfair to compare men’s and women’s codes of the same sport because they are completely different, but the women need to be treated and paid equally to the men cos... reasons? On an unrelated aside, why do the aussies have to have cringey names for all their national teams? No need for socceroos, wallabies etc., just call them the Australian National Soccer/Rugby team. Also, why do aussies call every sport involving any sort of football “footie” and expect you to know which sport they’re talking about?

because NSW and QLD are fucktards and call the National Rugby League "Footy", the rest of the country calls the Australian Football League 'Football' and the entire country calls soccer, soccer. Amd sometimes 'Wogball' - if youre reading/watching australian media and its saying 'football' i guaranfuckingtee you that the person writing it is greek

Most nations that actually plays an international sport (i mean actual international, not just local teams but calling it international) name their sports teams. Go have a go at a maori for calling their national rugby team the all-blacks and see what happens. 'Le Coq Sportif' isnt just a catchphrase for a french clothing company ya know.

Why do you have sports teams that have names that match cities they havent played in for years? (South Melbourne Swans became the Sydney Swans... because they moved to Sydney)

Why do you seppos call your american only baseball series the 'World' series? (Our 'National' rugby leage on the other hand, is international as New Zealand teams play in it.... still not 'World Series Rugby'... because we have one of those too. And it is actually against other national teams. Unlike baseball.)

Why do you play rugby in helmets and shoulderpads looking like fragile little pussies, change the name to 'Gridiron' but still call it... 'Football'?

Why did you allow japan to attack you after weeks of warnings then call it a 'Surprise' attack?

Why are you a vassal of israel instead of your own sovereign nation?

Why do you give niggers guns?

Why is Alexander Occasional-Cortex a politician instead of a cheap hooker?

Why are y'all trying to kidnap julian assange if he didnt break your laws?

Why havent you won any war on your own since your civil war?

Lots of questions need answering here bro, not from our end tho.

Was aware of the match and the result, but had not seen that twisted piece of logic before. Even the Einstein quote is not true.

Yeah, but men's team would score about 300 goals in women's world cup, so...

When is vox gonna go under?

Women don’t get paid as much because they don’t generate the same sales as men. It’s that simple.

Well, Vox will always have an audience because people are selfish/tribal by nature and idiots will always exist because the strategy will be to avoid them, not reduce their numbers.

I scored 7 goals in a 5 a-side game once. That's more than Lionel Messi has ever scored so I should be paid more than Messi!

Christ almighty, logic really is like piss in the pool to these fucking turpentine connoisseurs!
