Women’s soccer players get a much higher share of revenue than the men do. If we really want to make it equal the men are going to make nearly twice as much money.

Going a few years back, one year the World Cup revenue was $6 billion for men (the Russia year), $ 143 million for women. It has been pretty much the same over the years, proportionally.

Players get a pool of something like 9% for women, a bit less for men.

You cannot just go by crowd size for the final game, there is massive TV advertising $$$ involved, and sponsorships, merchandise, etc, for a significant period of time each WC.

The women are getting what they deserve.

Many know this but are afraid to say it lest they be attacked as chauvinist-pig misogynist neanderthal motherf0ckers.

I HATE the way the MSM is spreading lies about this, making it political, of course.

Sports socialism.

Title IX has hurt NCAA sports favoring women, ruining a lot of good men's sports, do not get me started.

I agree with the above. The WNBA women get far less but they make a ton less. It's simple economics. The top Women's tennis players make more because their is a demand for them. Men in porno make less, they don't complain

Yes ultimately sports salaries are the result of fans willing to pay to see the event.

I could get front row tickets for a WNBA for practically nothing, but not so for Knicks or whatever NBA team is the hot ticket these days

Yes precisely, the tv deals/advertising is what creates the majority of the revenue
20 percent more Americans tuned in to the Women’s final than the Men’s final last year. Boom

funny shit you're comparing how many americans watched USA vs Netherlands final vs the ahemm, Croatia/France final. Why not compare it to Pakistan/Iran cricket or PBA bowling. How about compare USA womens final 2019 vs 2015? oh, right, that makes too much sense for vitty

how about 43% less Americans watched this final than the 2015 women's WC final USA vs Japan

uh, yeah, BOOM!

definitely give them a pay raise when there's 50% less interest this year than 4 years ago. BOOM! Shush()*

Well no shit. The men are terrible and get embarrassed every World Cup. Still an apples to apples comparison in back to back years. The biggest revenue source is tv, just like every major sport. And the women outdraw the men in that regard

And in a comparison to the same day, the men drew FAR less even though they were playing a rival in Mexico in primetime, and the women had the crappy early day time time slot. Boom

Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Reparations!!!!!

If selfish white men didn't hold them down, they could all have made more money over the years. And why are they the ones that always have to get pregnant? That's just wrong, and that doesn't help them advance in their jobs

You don't just go by one game, the fans in the stands, or the tv revenue for one game.

SURE the women's FINAL will be viewed with curiosity, stands will be full.

But total revenue is ticket sales + TV commerical revenue + merchandise + misc sponsorships.

$6,000,000,000 in men's revenue

compared to

$ 140,000,000 in women's revenue

players get a % of the pool

You insult half your audience — you lose half your audience!
Great job, ladies!


After weeks of hyping the World Cup tournament the final match between the US and The Netherlands had a viewership that was down 43.8 percent from the last World Cup final in 2015.
The AP reported:

The United States’ 2-0 victory over the Netherlands in Sunday’s FIFA Women’s World Cup final averaged nearly 15.6 million U.S. viewers on English- and Spanish-language television.
It was the most-viewed match this season, but a decrease from the 2015 final.
The match averaged 14.27 million viewers on Fox, according to the network and Nielsen, and peaked at 19.6 million. It was a 22 percent increase over last year’s FIFA World Cup men’s final between France and Croatia, which averaged 11.44 million.
The audience was down 43.8 percent from the 2015 final between the U.S. and Japan, which averaged 25.4 million viewers.

That men's game was not the World Cup (your usual apples to oranges).

This is incorrect. Players are paid when they win games. Revenue has nothing to do with any of it
