that is stupid, is like expecting Alex Morgan to make the same money as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. It Is not discrimination is only that the demand for a product is greater than for another one.
After winning the World Cup in 2015, the U.S. women’s soccer team was paid a third of the men’s team earnings that same year.

It's important to understand that it's not just about the hot button issue of their equal pay. It's also about funding for youth teams, medical staff, as well as equal amounts of promotion and marketing. Also, it was the most-watched soccer game in history.

2014 Men’s World Cup Final: watched by 3.2 billion. 2015 Women’s World Cup Final: watched by 764 million. That’s 23%. So, 33% is an overpayment.

Funny how you left out 2018. The Cup that the USMNT didn't even *qualify* for.

Good for them! These women are the best in the world! The men’s team? How far have they gone at the World Cup? Why should they make more than the women? They have never even made it to the World Cup! This is disgusting!
