2	Five U.S. women’s soccer players file wage discrimination complaint even though they bring in almost 5x less viewers than the men's team Do you think a club player from France or England is going to come play on the US National team if he doesn't think it's worth the trouble? If they don't want to play for a national side, that's their own call, but it doesn't have to do with money. Plenty of players in high profile European leagues leave for a 6-8 week period during every other season to compete for their national team in the Africa Cup of Nations, for federations that pay out bonuses that are far smaller than even the US Women'…	/r/MensRights	01/04/16 08:26 PM
1	Five U.S. women’s soccer players file wage discrimination complaint even though they bring in almost 5x less viewers than the men's team That raises a good question -- FIFA sells the rights to broadcast the World Cup for a tremendous amount of money and I have no idea how much, if any, they distribute to member federations. The jump in "Sponsorship, television, licensing, and royalties" revenue accrued by the USSF between FY 2014 and FY 2015 (When World Cup 2014 occurred) was large ($27.7M to $37M), and presumably included a World Cup television rights payout in addition to the freshly inked Nike deal, which pays them $20M/year o…	/r/MensRights	01/04/16 07:20 PM
2	Five U.S. women’s soccer players file wage discrimination complaint even though they bring in almost 5x less viewers than the men's team FIFA isn't responsible for wages for national team performance -- the USSF is. The US Soccer Federation earns money from FIFA on occasion -- tournamnet payouts, administrative costs -- but the vast majority of revenue generated by the USSF is through ticket sales, branding, merchandise sales, etc... It's not arbitrary, the federation earns a specific amount of money for hosting games in stadiums, for agreeing to have the US play in another country, from merch sales. The USSF pays the women a sal…	/r/MensRights	01/04/16 06:00 PM
2	Five U.S. women’s soccer players file wage discrimination complaint even though they bring in almost 5x less viewers than the men's team Players have plenty of other professional opportunities beside joining a national team. Offers must be competitive. Literally every player on the US men's national team plays club soccer in addition to international soccer. National teams don't compete with domestic leagues for players. It's rare that national teams have to compete with other national teams for players, and when decisions are made between squads, it isn't down to money. How closely do you follow the sport?	/r/MensRights	01/04/16 05:51 PM
2	Five U.S. women’s soccer players file wage discrimination complaint even though they bring in almost 5x less viewers than the men's team Whoa there, man. Not trying to insult your intelligence. I'm just unsure of what you're trying to say -- when you talk about the US national squad trying to attract world-class players with higher salaries, that's just fundamentally not how it works. I could be misunderstanding what you were saying. It's what the US team's players could earn playing for other teams that sets their salaries. Nobody is going to play for a shitty national team if the pay sucks, especially knowing that they'll be st…	/r/MensRights	01/04/16 04:44 PM
3	Five U.S. women’s soccer players file wage discrimination complaint even though they bring in almost 5x less viewers than the men's team You haven't shown that the men's team is an outlier. You haven't shown that other men's teams with similar quality players pay them any less than the US men's team. I'm not asserting that the men's team is an outlier, rather that the women's team is -- in terms of revenue generated, the US Women are as big a cash cow as the US Men. In the context of FIFA, the US Women's overperformance is the outlier. If the US men's team ever wants to win, they'll actually have to pay their players even more to…	/r/MensRights	01/04/16 02:40 PM
4	Five U.S. women’s soccer players file wage discrimination complaint even though they bring in almost 5x less viewers than the men's team That's true for the World Cup as a whole, but the USMNT and USWNT generated similar revenue in the most recent World Cup cycle for each team. This is largely due to the fact that the men's game is under-represented here relative to the world while the women's game is over-represented here. The USSF earned roughly similar amounts of money from each squad, yet the women's team was paid significantly less. (Some point to the fact that the World Cup win bonus is something like 5x smaller for the wom…	/r/MensRights	01/04/16 06:44 AM
