US women's soccer team wants equal pay?
Sure, when they generate the same amount of revenue as their male counterparts do...it will happen.

Women's soccer...is it popular on American TV?
Is the public clamouring to watch it, attend matches.
Are sponsors willing to spend big money?

Nike’s biggest selling soccer jersey. Best Global TV ratings.

Plus, the women are the best in the world and the men did not qualify for their tournament,

Pay them for their accomplishments or shut up about this being a meritocracy.
They are getting paid.
But the Women’s World Cup dares to 1991. The men’s to 1930.
And the “ pot” is world wide not just the USA.

Geeze, What’s that smell?

Oh, it’s your post! It reeks of meaningless bullshit.

Backup USA goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris will earn between $300,000 and $400,000 in 2019.

In a non World Cup year, approximately 40-45K for NWSL and 100-130K for National team play, depending on how many victories.  So still near 200K without any endorsements.

It wasn't exactly today, but roughly.

 

When we first moved to DC we started a Sunday ritual. Once a month we would visit a museum unfortunately that ritual ended after a few years because the kids became choristers. I knew this part of our lives was done and I believed at nine and ten they were pretty sharp so we went to the Permanent Exhibit at the Holocaust Museum. They were pretty stoic throughout until we got to the shoes...

So what?

They’re the best in the world and the men’s squad are scrubs.

If you’re the best why shouldn’t you be paid what you’re Worth? Why manipulate the market if this is a meritocracy?

Oh yeah, white patriarchy...

Well, no.

The USA women dominate women’s soccer because the USA has a much stronger national program than any other country in the world. For women. In the 8 World Cups( 28 years)the USA has won 4, finished second once and third three times.
Men’s competition is not nearly as one sided in 90 years of World Cup  competition.

Heh

Exactly

Here are the US women, crying about making 350K while teams they compete against have to play around their regular 40 hour+ per week jobs.

None of which has anything to do with the inequalities in this country.

But what else would anybody expect from you or Ward, who are anti-equality.

Oh, it's not even a meritocracy within a single gender/race/sexual orientation type, Larry. Do you think otherwise?!
