No it’s best for the sport to have the women national players paid yearly by US Soccer. The men only get money if they are on the game day roster. Injured or not selected too bad, you do not get paid. US soccer pays each women national team member $100,000 plus healthcare and a retirement plan per year. If they play in the WNSL they get an additional $67-87,000. Other WNSL players get paid between $25,000-$85,000 with an average of $40,000 a year. Try living on that for the 3 year between World Cups. How many WNT players would stop playing if they were not paid yearly? You need a pro league to keep players playing between world cups.

They negotiated the collective bargaining agreement and took a less risky, money upfront approach. Now they want to change it retroactively for their benefit. Its time to separate the men’s and women’s national teams into different organizations. [/quote]

They got to be pretty happy with the arrangement right now.  Who knows how long it's going to be before either USMNT or USWNT play any games generating revenue.[/quote]
