Cordeiro resigns from USSF amid equal pay dispute

Next up: force and/or subsidize American attendance at WNBA games, to be on par with NBA. Same with TV...like YouTube, pause the male games with equal WNBA clip times.

While we are at it, in the genius utopia of transgender acceptance, since it is confusing for all...ELIMINATE ALL women v mens events and consolidate as one event. Level the "playing field".

Elimate the actor and actress categories, and just have a single 'cinematic performance' category(ies).

No need to be have pre-OP, mid-OP, post-OP debates. Progressives can carry out the logistical nightmare and be the ones offending many in this no-win matter.

male dominated sports make more money, its not that hard to understand

You know what? I'll say that in some cases the equal pay for female athletes argument has gone wrong.

I can't speak to women's soccer, but the WNBA doesn't make any money. I'm not sure if it has ever been profitable. So the players there shouldn't get the same amount of money as the guys in the NBA. It is just an argument based on economic fact.

The problem is that these idiots online and in these companies have to ignore the economic facts in favor of stupid, sexist reasoning. This soccer organization, instead of just laying out the numbers and saying women should be paid this much because they bring in this amount of revenue, decided to say shit like men have to work harder so they deserve more money. That has no fucking bearing on how much people get paid in pro sports.

Just lay out the facts and apply a fair criteria to everyone. It is not that hard. This should not be an issue.

Exactly, if a team makes more money then sure I'm for them getting paid more, the only case this would be is typically olympics or female soccer, and even then the club teams for women will never make that kind of money. It would only be the national team girls.

As for the WNBA, you are correct, the NBA subsidizes it because they think it helps their brand keep women interested in the sport, without the NBA, the WNBA does not exist.

If male athletes generate more revenue they should make more money. This isn’t a “equal pay for equal work” situation in this particular case.
