[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They lost me when they started rambling on with their feminist rhetoric. They want to be paid as much as the men, which is a joke because women are inferior athletes. And then they blame their inferior athleticism on lack of investment in womens soccer :lol: [/quote]

I am a guy, but these girls are getting raw deal from the USSF and have a legitimate gripe.  [b]They made more money for the USSF than the men did, but are paid significantly less. [/b] And, unlike the USMNT, they made the WC and are getting criticized for scoring too much and celebrating too much.   I will take it over getting beat by mediocre teams, like Jamaica, Venezuela and Trinidad. [/quote]

Can you provide any proof for this statement?  Because I have never seen anything that suggests that statement is true - every figure I have seen shows that USMNT games get higher ratings, better TV deals, better jersey sales, better attendance, etc.  So [/quote]

[quote]$26.8 million, including $3.2 million in World Cup revenue. The men brought in revenues totaling $21 million. But that’s a difference of about $5.8 million, nowhere close to the $20 million cited in the graphic.[/quote]

The amount more is exaggerated but that the women's team brought in more revenue is not in dispute, the only thing in dispute is how much the women's team has out earned the USMNT. [/quote]

"The lawsuit cites a very specific example in showing the profitability of the women's team. It states that in 2016, U.S. Soccer had initially budgeted a loss of $430,000 for the two senior national team programs but later revised that to a $17.7 million profit due to the USWNT's 2015 World Cup win and a surge in the team's popularity.

What the lawsuit doesn't get into is the fact that the trend of the women bringing in more revenue than the men continued after the 2015 World Cup. The financials from U.S. Soccer's own annual reports show more revenue from the USWNT than the USMNT in 2017 and 2018 as well."
