1	Kathy Griffin whines about her fee for hosting NYE telecast on CNN, tries to claim gender pay gap, is firmly slapped down. This is based on what metric? Looking at a World Cup final against a qualifying match? When those games are the only ones being played, yes. Then men playing in comparable matches will absolutely draw more viewers. Then US men playing in the WC final would probably have drastically more viewership in the US than the women's. You have to qualify for those matches for that to be relevant though.	/r/PussyPassDenied	22/06/21 02:35 PM
-1	Kathy Griffin whines about her fee for hosting NYE telecast on CNN, tries to claim gender pay gap, is firmly slapped down. You're still arguing against a claim that I'm not even making. I am making a single claim: The USWNT does not "run off the charity and left over money from the men's league" I am not making the claim that the USWNT should be paid equally to the USMNT. As far as the lawsuit we're probably on the same side here.	/r/PussyPassDenied	22/06/21 02:00 PM
2	Kathy Griffin whines about her fee for hosting NYE telecast on CNN, tries to claim gender pay gap, is firmly slapped down. Suppose that one of the players has the opportunity to make lots of money as a banker of some kind. Should US soccer negotiate pay with that player separately because participating on the national team is "taking time away" from something else? Your analogy just doesn't make any sense. If you put it into actual similar terms? Yes. Bank A: is the most prestigious bank in the world, known for having the absolute best of the best bankers Bank B: is a decent bank, there's nothing wrong with their ba…	/r/PussyPassDenied	22/06/21 01:57 PM
1	Kathy Griffin whines about her fee for hosting NYE telecast on CNN, tries to claim gender pay gap, is firmly slapped down. the USWNT still doesn't turn a profit 3/4 of the time... They consistently turn a profit, albeit obviously a substantially smaller one, even in non WC years. I'm not making any mens vs womens pay argument here, but they're absolutely not "subsisting off the revenue from the USMNT" 1. They're both subsidized national teams, they don't need to be making a profit to begin with 2. Even with that being the case... they are making a profit.	/r/PussyPassDenied	22/06/21 01:45 PM
1	Kathy Griffin whines about her fee for hosting NYE telecast on CNN, tries to claim gender pay gap, is firmly slapped down. Its possible that more people in america watch the womens side (which i find unlikely) US viewership the women has been higher over the past few years but that's also comparing women in a world cup final to men playing random friendlies because they failed to qualify. Casual fans are going to turn on the TV for a world championship regardless of if its men or women, their not going to watch the US men play cambodia in a random friendly. I'm sure the Men's team in a WC final would have significan…	/r/PussyPassDenied	22/06/21 01:42 PM
2	Kathy Griffin whines about her fee for hosting NYE telecast on CNN, tries to claim gender pay gap, is firmly slapped down. Except that part isn't a problem. Professional sports is purely an entertainment business. Its no different than any other entertainment industry. No one complains about less popular actors/musicians/comedians making less money than more popular ones but for some reason people think worse athletes should make the same money as better ones because they work just as hard? The MLS provides more value as entertainment, thus brings in more revenue, and pays their players better.	/r/PussyPassDenied	22/06/21 01:36 PM
1	Kathy Griffin whines about her fee for hosting NYE telecast on CNN, tries to claim gender pay gap, is firmly slapped down. That a fair point, and I don't disagree that the men's team (in an average year) almost certainly brings in far more attenions/revenue than the women's team, but its still blatantly false to say the USWNT is "run off the charity/left over money from the men's team". They had +$8m in net revenue in 2016, +$1m in net revenue in 2017. Even ignoring the fact that we're talking about National teams here who's purpose really isn't to be turning a profit, they are profitable. The men for those same two…	/r/PussyPassDenied	22/06/21 01:12 PM
16	Kathy Griffin whines about her fee for hosting NYE telecast on CNN, tries to claim gender pay gap, is firmly slapped down. Yeah I was just assuming they were referring to the USWNT specifically because of the comment they were replying to. Literally no one watches them and they run off the charity and left over money from the Men's league This is also really not true for the USWNT. If someone wants to rip on a women's sports team/leage for being "run off the charity of the Men's league" there's already a much more valid example of that in the WNBA.	/r/PussyPassDenied	22/06/21 12:56 PM
40	Kathy Griffin whines about her fee for hosting NYE telecast on CNN, tries to claim gender pay gap, is firmly slapped down. Literally no one watches them and they run off the charity and left over money from the Men's league If we're talking about the complaints from the USWNT, the argument is that people do indeed watch them, and as of late I believe actually more than the men's team. The HUGE difference they're ignoring is that even if the first part is true (not positive that it is) the Men are taking time away from their professional teams/contracts to play on the national team. For the women the national team is…	/r/PussyPassDenied	22/06/21 12:05 PM
4	Next time try supporting your own? Yes. That's not the point... My point is that's CLEARLY NOT THE CASE IN CHESS, and thus shouldn't inherently be expected here either. The percentages do not track in chess, and it is quite clearly not because chess tournaments are sexist. The percentages do not track for directors (chess players), yet everyone jumps to it being due to the awards ceremonies (chess tournaments) being sexist. Do you see what I'm saying? It's totally possible/reasonable for the percentages to not track even if the a…	/r/PussyPassDenied	12/02/20 11:07 PM
2	Next time try supporting your own? 100% agree with this and that's why, as I stated, you'd expect the PERCENTAGES to track. In this case, ~33% of directors are women but only about 2% of best director nominations go to women.... it doesn't track as expected. And I'm saying that's not necessarily the case. Women and Men in theory should be equally capable of playing chess. Yet men are on average significantly better. If we took the 90 best male chess players, and the 10 best female chess players, and played out a tournament betwee…	/r/PussyPassDenied	12/02/20 10:33 PM
13	Next time try supporting your own? In theory, you'd expect awards to be given out in equivalent percentages based on the actual percentage of male and female directors That however is assuming that men and women are equally good at directing films. Just to raise a counter point, we don't actually know that to be the case. It's a plainly accepted and easily provable that there are significant physical differences between men and women (look at results in literally any sport). Why though do we expect women and men to be equals when…	/r/PussyPassDenied	12/02/20 10:10 PM
-1	Feminism gets a bad rap because of twats like this ignorant cunt. ❓ He came of as pretty self absorbed, but it's hard to argue that the one who flipped out immediately at being referred to by her actual name instead of "Doctor" and also literally argued that "All white people are racist" is the lesser asshole of the two. I guess you could argue that he's an asshole for bringing this bumbling idiot onto the show and letting her make a fool of herself.	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/11/19 04:57 PM
