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

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

They keep winning. Some of the money generated by men’s soccer should go to paying the women fairly.

I have no problem with "fairly" but that may be hard to define. I do agree that they need better pay and support.

Hard to disagree with that.  Especially since the US women's team have won four World Cups and the men have won...wait, let me do the math...*mumble mumble*...carry the 2...divide by Planck's constant...

NONE! They've won exactly NONE!  It is perfectly shameful that the most successful footballers on the planet are paid a pitiable fraction of what their male counterparts are paid.  And the revenue argument is disproved - the US women's team have generated MORE revenue than the men's team from 2016 through 2018.

Can't read the article without a subscription. I'd be happy to read another source. 

(two/three years of revenue difference disproves an argument/financial position?)

Your boss tells you that you make less than Jim because Jim closes more sales than you do.  For the last two to three years, you have been closing more sales than Jim.  Where is your boss's justification for continuing to pay you less?
