In this specific context, it is fair to argue they deserve to be compensated far more. When extending to other pro sports, including the Women's Soccer League (not on the international level), we return to what I was saying.


That's a bit of goalpoast moving on your part, then. The bill is specifically targeted at the USNT and the USWNT, and the differences in their payouts, not all women's sports teams vs. their male counterparts.

I disagree with the method, but the motive is right. Tying government spending bills to this isn't the right way. It has no chance of passing and it allows Fox News to plaster it as "Breaking News" for a cycle or two and gin up the base.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
