Social US Women's National Team Just Want To Be Treated Fairly - The Men's Can't Even Qualify For World Cup

Are they as good as the men?

Most likely not, but in the US they are more popular. Oh, they are also much more successful then the US men's team.

Depends what you mean by good. I think the really interesting thing here is that if by good you mean revenue generating, then yes.

Pay dem ladies!

Just bring down the pay of the male teams and you're good to go.

Pro athletes make retarded money these days. Get a real job.

Well when Madrid purchased Ronaldo for something like 100 million Euro they made that back in Ronaldo shirts in like a week or something. Soccer in Europe is badly in need of a team salary cap like in US sports though.

Swedish football ladies beaten by teen boys

Sweden's women's national football team suffered a crushing defeat during a friendly in Stockholm on Tuesday, with the country's top female players finding themselves shutout by an undermanned local boys team.

They aren't as good but they generate more money than u.s mens soccer.

No they don't. They generated revenue when Men's Soccer was on hiatus - no revenue. Twisty's...where women are good at.

 

[LilMountain]

The OP clearly states they generate more revenue.

OP is citing a particular year which reflects favorably on the women's team, over a four year period (time between world cups offering a full cycle) they do not

God people quoting this are dumb. No, they do not generate more revenue. Not even fucking close. That is stupid math for stupid people.

Why doesn't the WNBA players make the same as the NBA?

 

[m52nickerson]

Why doesn't the WNBA players make the same as the NBA?

....because the WNBA does not make as much money.

Technically they're better.

The US women's team gets more viewers and actually wins.
