That isn’t what it means at all. The women competing against the men would be unfair.Hodos:
LOL – true.JoeShlabotnik:
No they haven’t. Men’s and Women’s soccer are not apples to apples comparisons. While the women have performed admirably against their competition, that does not mean that they are playing competitors of equal skill compared to what the Men’s leagues see. This is akin to saying that because the Calgary Stampeders won the Grey Cup for the Canadian Football League, they should be paid on an equal basis with the New England Patriots. The levels of competition are no where near equal and the Canadian league draws far less revenue as a result, hence they should not be paid on an equal level with NFL players. If the women’s team wants to be paid equally to the men’s team, they are welcome to try out for the US Men’s Soccer Team and compete on the same playing field. Considering they were beaten by a men’s youth team two years ago, I doubt they will take up this offer.t’s about the percentages. It’s about the money!
The women have outperformed the men time and again, yet they get paid way less than the men.
Those who perform, should get paid.
Those who do not, should not.
Very simple principle.
Let’s see the US Women’s World Cup champion team play against the Men’s World cup current Champion and see how they do.
If they really want equal pay - then they should challenge the reigning Men’s World Cup championship team to a game to see who really is the world’s best.
It means the two leagues are not on the same level of competitiveness. Not even remotely. To put this into context: the Thai team that the USA trounced 13-0 work as insurance sales agents to support themselves.
So saying the US women’s team performs better because they win more is completely ridiculous.
