[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The USWNT are whiny brats. They will have every opportunity to rectify their contract when they renegotiate it. Until then, get on the pitch and STFU.[/quote] The real issue is that what they really want is a cut of the FIFA money that the men get from the men’s World Cup, a competition in which they do not even participate. That is really what they are asking for. They want to be subsidized by the men. They want to have the best option from each compensation package and get all of the upside that the men have, while still keeping all of their guarantees and downside risk protection. Not only that, but these older USWNT players have negotiated guaranteed places for themselves such that there are only a few spots left for talented up a coming players to compete for on the team. Sounds really great for the development of the women’s game........Entitled, money grabbers.[/quote] See prior post. The women's teams get 20% of all World Cup revenue versus approx 7% for the men. The difference is the men's Cup is popular. The women's, while more so than in the past, is not even close and doesn't generate a fraction of what the men's WC does. [/quote] Exactly. And the women's team want a cut of the MEN's World Cup pie/FIFA money, and are masking it as some kind of social justice issue.[/quote]
