"""Same job""""

Since when would a random unknow boxer get paid same as Mayweather? There are millions of such examples. Its literally same job....

You can literally explain and have a 6 year old understand this concept.

When Americans think soccer, they think primarily of women's soccer, and they regard the Olympic games as a major soccer tournament. This isn't the case for the rest of the world, where Olympic soccer is a peripheral event for amateur/youth players, and women's soccer - well I'm sure it's very nice for the ladies to get out there and kick the ball about. Women's Olympic soccer is the Venn diagram overlap of two kinds of soccer the world doesn't give a shit about, and all of this happening in the quadrennial festival of oddball sports that most sports fans can live without for 3 years and 50 weeks.

So who is going to be hurt by this boycott? A few million TV viewers might tune in to watch yet another glorious American victory, but if the women's soccer team isn't there, there'll be plenty of glorious American victories by gymnasts or polevaulters for those viewers to wave their flags to.

American women's soccer needs the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games doesn't need American women's soccer.

Men are more athletic...due to centuries of evolution.

I wouldn't pay the same for a crappy painting as I would a nice one.

Perhaps if they played soccer, instead of vagina-soccer, they would make the same.

Why is it even legal to have segregated teams? If you can play, you can play. If you can't, GTFO.

Please do, more people need to see how childish you're being.

Will the fencers and the table tennis players also boycott the Olympics because fellow Olympian Steph Curry makes more than them?

This is a women's rights issue, not a men's rights issue.
