[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women don’t deserve the same pay as men just as men don’t deserve the same pay as women. We have equal rights, not equal outcomes. Whoever holds the leverage and power gets paid the most. Always has been that way, always will. Alex Morgan is attractive and scored a lot of goals. That’s her leverage. So she earns more overall than most women players. I doubt she’d be willing to take a pay cut or share her sponsor dollars so that her fellow women players could make more. Pulisic is a better player and plays for a top EPL club so he earns more than other US men. Same deal there. What’s so hard to understand? Life is not fair and we were not meant to all be paid the same. [/quote]

The argument for equal pay are not really given in good faith. It goes like this. The women had more revenues vs the men. Yes 2% when the men did not make the World Cup and the women won it all. The women’s contract gave an annual salary with healthcare and 401k based on being selected to the USWNT roster. The men only get paid if they are on the game day roster. Now the women want to be paid based on what the men would have won if the men had won the WC? No that is a different tournament under a different contract.

Maybe the USWNT should try to qualify for the men’s World Cup?  See if they can preform better vs the men with the men’s contract. [/quote]
