The members of the U.S. women’s national soccer team know their worth ― and they’re not backing down from the ongoing equal pay fight against the U.S. Soccer Federation.
“We won’t accept anything less than equal pay,” star midfielder Megan Rapinoe said Thursday during an interview on “Good Morning America.” “We show up for a game. If we win the game, if we lose the game, if we tie the game, we want to be paid equally, period.”
On top of being an American-hating cunt who kneels for our National Anthem, Megan Rapinoe now wants the US to pay her team more, even though they A) don't bring in as much revenue as the men's team, and B) already receive a higher percentage of revenue than the men's team does.
Quite frankly, were I inclined to watch women's soccer to begin with, having that loud-mouthed cow screeching about how horrible America is would turn me off of it pretty damn quickly. I don't know why they're so stringent about playing for a country they despise, and I really don't give a twinkly damn about what they get paid. I hope they DON'T get paid. I hope they all get pissed off and walk away and we get new people to play for the National team, so that we can get a team that isn't just a bunch of angry lesbians screaming about how horrible this country is for paying them to play a game.
Good take and analysis.
ReplyDeleteI just read somewhere that women's soccer doesn't generate anywhere near the amount of revenue that men's soccer does. Advertising, network coverage, sponsors, etc. Thus, the economics of the game is why women soccer players earn less than men. Rapinoe somehow is incapable of grasping this simple concept.
They bring in a fraction of the men's team. Women's soccer just isn't watched as much, maybe because (and the SJW's hate this) they're not as good. Hell, they lost to teenage boys:

If 15 year old boys can kick their ass, maybe they're not as great as they claim to be? Or at the very least, not as exciting to watch?
The Women's World Cup generated around $130m in revenue. The men's generated $6bn. Manchester United's women's team lost 9-1 to a local under-16s male team that had never played together before.
