[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone even read the decision?

Most of the articles are leaving out some relevant facts, including that the USWNT was paid more per game.

The women played 111 games and made $24.5 million overall, averaging $220,747 per game. The men played 87 total games and made $18.5 million overall, averaging $212,639 per game.

Even though women’s bonuses were lower, they received other benefits under their collective bargaining agreement that did not apply to men. The women received guaranteed annual salaries, bonus pay and other fringe benefits. The men, on the other hand, were paid under a pay-to-play model, which doesn’t pay players unless they participate in a training camp or make a particular roster.

And although the women would have been paid more if they had been operating under the men’s contract, the opposite was also true; the men would have been paid more if they had been operating under the women’s contract.
