Anyone point out that it was kindof a bitchmade move to wait until after the game was decided to start throwing shade? I suspect someone has.
Because it was. I don't suspect they were talking trash when she was about to shoot them back into that thing. Then again - this is essentially mid-tier boys HS basketball so WTF do I care? |

How is it different? Womens soccer doesn't bring in anywhere close to the same amount of money as mens soccer. It doesn't matter how much better they are in their sport, they still only bring in a fraction of the money.

Have you size the prize pool for the women's world cup vs. the men's? The size of the slice in question barely matters when the difference in the size of the pie is as extreme as it. Women don't even watch women's sports - it's a non-starter of an 'argument'. |

IT'S BULLSHIT! And folks, women's basketball/soccer aren't that much less further removed from the men's product than curling is to football. They're barely the same sport. |

The mens world cup brought in 6 billion dollars. The womens world cup brought in 131 million. Tell me, who should be paid more?

Not saying it should be 1 to 1, but the difference shouldn't be that dramatic. |

They have a better argument but it’s not that compelling. Their superstars like Alex Morgan are doing more than fine with all the sponsorship $ they’re raking in. For the wnba it’s not even a conversation. |

The men's team generated the most money. They deserved to be paid more. The women's team wanted more money despite not financially earning it. |

I never said men shouldn’t have been paid more. Just that women’s national team was underpaid based on the standards used for compensating men. Not remotely the same discussion as WNBA. |

The USMNT still generated significantly more $ than the USWNT.

Even so, the men generate more money. They should be compensated at a higher rate. |

Just that the women should be getting more for going further and winning. |
