And I agree men and women should be paid the same...by reducing men's payments.

The market can do that. Or it can pay them a lot more. We decide their salaries.

Once again the progtards managed to politicize something that should not be politicized , i.e. soccer, because that's what totalitarian control freaks do.

Quote from: "seoulbro"Women's soccer earned $73 million globally while men's soccer's revenues were $6 billion. What to be paid more, revenues must go up.

Women soccer players demanding they get paid what men soccer players do, is like minor league baseball players or minor league hockey players demanding they get paid what NHL and MLB players get paid, even though minor leagues generate a fraction of the revenue.  Ridiculous.



Once again its the identity politics left throwing gender and race cards at everything, without ever stopping for a millisecond to examine the reasons behind why things are the way they are.

That is exactly the comparison I would have made. Professional to amateur athletes.

On a tangent-- Dennis Prager weighs in on the left politicizing soccer



For the first time in my life, I did not root for an American team. Whatever the sport, I have always rooted American. But if those who called into my radio show were representative of my audience, many millions of Americans made the same sad choice.



It takes a lot for people like me not to root for an American team. But Megan Rapinoe, the foul-mouthed star of the team, and her fellow players made it possible.



The U.S. women's team disgraced itself. Either its members were cowed into submission by Rapinoe or they agreed (or, at least, never disagreed) with her attacks on the president, her reference to the White House as the "f—ing White House," her refusal since 2016 to participate in the national anthem, and her repeatedly shouting during the team's parade in New York City, "New York, you're the motherf—ing best!"



For example, Rapinoe said, "Every member of the team that I have talked to would not go" to the White House.



Rapinoe is a great soccer player. Other than that, she is unimpressive. She comes across as arrogant, a fool, and a lowlife.[/b]



Why a fool? Because she thinks she has something important to say to the American people and that we need to hear it because she is a great soccer player. She is not alone in this conceit.



Tom Steyer and other billionaires think the same thing about themselves: that because they are better at making money than almost everybody, they must be wiser than almost everybody.




People who excel in one thing are tempted to think they are smart about everything, but that is almost never the case. There is no reason at all to assume that people who excel in anything (other than wisdom) are wiser than anybody else.



Everything the left touches it ruins.[/quote]
