Again do you have any statics to say they don't ?
Yeah... the viewership/ratings and live attendance say they don't. They're both pretty damn low, especially compared to the men's counterpart.
In terms of soccer, I'd love to conduct a poll that asks, "Do you think the women's US soccer team should be paid the same as the men's," with the follow-up question: "Which NWSL team does Megan Rapinoe play for?"

And that's with paying the players an average of $79k/year. Something tells me they'd be far deeper in the hole if they received hundreds of thousands or millions. This is straight from the horse's mouth. The Phoenix Mercury ride coach.

1.That wasn't my question . You asked how many people who support equal pay attended games . My question was even if every one of them did would it make a difference? as in are they a big enough demographic to matter? .To your follow up question team USA and need I mention she gets plenty of media attention and it hardly matter as a lot of soccer fans care about clubs and teams not players .
2. Well were not going to change it with that attitude and that's my point capitalism is terrible for sport .Funny enough the first person to point that out was the founder of the NHL.
