[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women's soccer needs USSF. This would be like women's sports at colleges relying on their own revenue, when it's impossible. Nearly all sports rely on big money makers like football and basketball.  Why can't they just make a contracts with % based on revenue earned? Are you doing to force the globe to watch and buy products supporting women's sports? Men make more revenue. How is this hard?[/quote]

No, they don’t USSF uses the women to subsidize the men and MLS. USWNT could get a much better tv deal if they weren’t bundled with MLS and their putrid ratings. Nike would stick with them (even if off years, how many women’s national team jerseys do you see and have you ever seen a men’s jersey in the wild). USSF does nothing for girls soccer, so that would be a wash. The men will get a nice bump this year, but they’ll loose every game in group play and then people will continue forgetting they exist until
They do the same in four years

Great argument if it were true. You have been buying the hype and spin The women just do not bring in that much vs the men’s even when the men do not qualify for WC. The MLS by itself blows away USWNT. Let’s look at the facts.

[quote][b]The 24 MLS teams in existence during the 2019 season produced $1.1 billion in revenue, including distributions from the league (2020 was an estimated $468 million for 26 teams)[/[/b]quote]

[quote][b]Specifically, from 2016-18, the women’s team brought in $50.8 million in revenue, while the men’s team brought in $49.9 million. That’s a difference of less than 2% in the women’s favor.[/[/b]quote]
