Eh? Your national team don't pay your wages do they? Do the clubs the US women play for generate more income than the clubs their male players play for?Their argument was that the women’s team generated more revenue than the men
US women's soccer games now generate more revenue than men's—but the players still earn less
U.S. women's soccer games have generated more revenue than U.S. men's games for three consecutive years. That's according to audited financial statements from the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) obtained by The Wall Street Journal. In 2016, women's games generated $1.9 million more in revenue than...www.cnbc.com
They messed up that story, the original was that the mens can at least be broughtThere was a bizarre story on the radio yesterday where they were complaining the England Women's goalkeeper kit isn't available to buy from the official England store. At the end of the piece they threw in that the Mens isn't either
The difference being that the men's will be on sale at some point, whereas apparently Nike have said that selling the women's shirts is "not part of their commercial strategy"There was a bizarre story on the radio yesterday where they were complaining the England Women's goalkeeper kit isn't available to buy from the official England store.

Must admit I don't get that tbh because the Womens average "soccer" attendance is approx half that of the Men's game in the USA.Their argument was that the women’s team generated more revenue than the men

It's the national team that makes up most of the moneyMust admit I don't get that tbh because the Womens average "soccer" attendance is approx half that of the Men's game in the USA.
Haven't they created their own problem there. Just make the mens and womens the same designThe difference being that the men's will be on sale at some point, whereas apparently Nike have said that selling the women's shirts is "not part of their commercial strategy"
The equal pay debate is about payments made by the national football associations to players for appearances on international duty, it’s got nothing to do with the clubs.Eh?

You can be carded when the ball is dead, game doesn't even have to still be going on.Interesting VAR call there. No penalty due to an earlier foul, but a yellow given for the tackle that would have been a penalty. Assumed the ball became dead after the first incident. Definitely deserved a card mind.
Women get more of the overall revenue as a percentage from the Women's WC than men do from the Men's WC.The equal pay debate is about payments made by the national football associations to players for appearances on international duty, it’s got nothing to do with the clubs.
In the case of the USWNT, they argued they generated more money for US Soccer, yet were getting less money back from them in appearance fees/prize money than the men were.
Good point, no idea why that confused me lolYou can be carded when the ball is dead, game doesn't even have to still be going on.
Once they get the gates and ticket money, viewing figures, TV income and associated sponsorship to match the mens game world wide, then they'll have a case.
Really rate James. Should be in from the start.James and Daly on 2nd half?
Well that’s nice if it helps address the pay gap, but the US women’s team clearly disagrees, and it’s a different issue from the one that led to a lawsuit anyway.Women get more of the overall revenue as a percentage from the Women's WC than men do from the Men's WC.

So the US team is underpaid but all the other nations are overpaid?Well that’s nice if it helps address the pay gap, but the US women’s team clearly disagrees, and it’s a different issue from the one that led to a lawsuit anyway.
Dunno mate I wouldn't be surprised. Think PVA is saying the USA girls are arguing for parity which is fair enough if they are more popular than their men. As long as it's paid via MSL funds or whoever administers US Soccer then that's their business.Isn't the women's England team/ womens game subsidised by the FA/Mens game at the moment too?
It's SBT not PVA and when he starts talking about overpaying being a good thing to bridge a 'pay gap' in a spectator sport you know its just ideological nonsense.Dunno mate I wouldn't be surprised.

How are England doing? Painting the landing.
I have no idea what every global football association pays its women’s teams, how am I supposed to know? The percentage of WC revenues being paid to the players isn’t even the issue here.So the US team is underpaid but all the other nations are overpaid?

Of course that won't be an issue because it's favourable. Its easy to pick and choose your issues.I have no idea what every global football association pays its women’s teams, how am I supposed to know? The percentage of WC revenues being paid to the players isn’t even the issue here.
Well it’s also easy to call an issue nonsense when you pretend it’s actually about something completely different. Not sure what your issue is.Of course that won't be an issue because it's favourable. Its easy to pick and choose your issues.
