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.
