Men's Soccer Team Earns LESS Than Women, So Why Do Women Want MORE Money?

Women should have more for less. That's equality.

The women's side really wants to be able to get their own deals. The men's side does not care. The ones who care a lot are Sports United Marketing (SUM) which is 80% owned by MLS, MLS and USSF. The only sponsor the USSF has is Nike. All other revenue sources -- media rights, promotion deals and the like flow through SUM which pays a royalty to the USSF. The women say that SUM just looks out for itself and the MLS. For example, national team sponsors have to do MLS, and both national teams. The women contend that this arrangement puts them at a disadvantage. There are companies that would pay just to sponsor the women's side, and that more money is paid by existing sponsors to get sponsor/media rights for the women side, but then the USSF says it is too hard to tell which side applies so it should be considered even. So, as a hypothetical example, let's say Pepsi would pay $70 to sponsor the women's team, but Coke is willing to pay $100 to get the women's team, men's team and MLS rights. SUM takes the Coke deal. The women contend that they should be able to maximize their own revenue and not subsidize MLS.

I saw a headline on ESPN yesterday that said a US Senator is threatening to without all public funding for the 2026 world cup if there isn't equal pay by then. I didn't click the link because I don't want to support those articles but I'm sure it was filled with lies. This whole topic is so tiresome because it is all built on misleading or outright false statistics.
