Equal pay for women's soccer or no Fed funding bill

[Amarok]

How many equal pay advocates follow the WNBA? Or follow the US women's soccer players when they're playing at their domestic clubs?

I would imagine plenty if not most but the problem is weather they are a big enough group to matter 

It's not enough to say you want them to be paid more all while not actually demonstrating interest in them (aside from highly publicized international play.)

Again do you have any statics to say they don't ?

I actually sat next to a WNBA team on a flight out of Phoenix last month. I asked one of the players about it, and she got real mad because people care about income inequality but dont give a shit about their games. The NBA is actually *losing* money by owning the WNBA.

That hardly seems conclusive or quantifiable

Pay in pro sports is not dependent on skill. It's dependent on how much money fans are willing to pay to see them / buy their shit.

Which is why the current model of sports sucks
