Men's and Women's Soccer Team Pay Disparity

 Headlines Claiming Women’s World Cup Final Had More Viewers Than Men’s Are 100% Fake News

Even NBC and Fox Business Network chimed in with erroneous information.

I believe in equal pay for equal work BUT the men's team brings in more revenue than does the women's team. Last year, the men's World Cup generated $6 billion, and gave about 7 percent to the teams. The 2019 Women's World Cup made $131 million, and gave out more than 20 percent to the teams.

"Last year, the men’s World Cup in Russia generated more than $6 billion in revenue; the participating teams shared about $400 million. That is less than 7 percent of overall revenue. Meanwhile, the 2019 Women’s World Cup made somewhere in the region of $131 million, doling out $30 million, well more than 20 percent of collected revenue, to the participating teams. It seems a pay gap does exist, after all. [The Federalist]

So, should the women's team really make the same as the men's team? Chuckie Schumer and Bill deBlasio think so.

    If there's one thing I don't care about, it's women's soccer. LPGA, Tennis, Basketball, okay, but soccer is a tough men's game. That's the way it started, and that's the way it will always be. These women are legends in their own minds. The only ones who care about this is them and their friends and families.

    This lady is a shame to the entire American population the way she speaks and talks about our country and OUR President. She is nothing more than an embarrassment for most of us good hardworking tax paying citizens. She is obviously dealing with TDS and has so much hate for our President. I hope she gets some serious mental support/help, it does not look good for her. How disrespectful toward the White House and our president. Shame on you!

    A foul mouthed,nasty moron. She's brought shame to her team.Can't wait for men identifying as women to hand her her head on a platter and take over "women's soccer". Maybe then it will actually be interesting to watch.
