Whatever happened to being proud to play for the badge/flag?
Beginning to sound like the US Ryder Cup Team. We need to get paid, even though we are gazillionaires.

soccer players also risk a lot but most want to play for their country. US Soccer players are taking health risk but less so a financial risk. If they do well and get a Nike deal.out of it they're way ahead of the rest of their teammates

USSF has just been bested by a corporation - Luna Bars (owned by Cliff Bar) just announced they're closing the bonus pay gap for the WNT
LUNA has always been committed to inspiring and championing women. We never got the memo that it’s okay for us to make on average 20% less than men. A difference in pay that’s even worse for women of color. So we are relentless in the fight for equality and raising awareness around the gender pay gap.
The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) caught our attention in 2016 when they spoke up to demand equality. Although they slayed it in many ways, their fight continues today. There are still many inequities, such as the World Cup roster bonus awarded to any U.S. soccer player - woman or man - named to a World Cup team. We were shocked to learn that, for women, their roster bonus is $31,250 less than the men – for the same work. As you can imagine, this got us pretty fired up. We knew we had to do something. And do it now.
So LUNA Bar is closing the World Cup roster bonus pay gap by giving each of the 23 women named to the 2019 World Cup team the $31,250 difference to make their roster bonus equal to the men’s....

This whole thing is going to be a war of perception, not facts. Meanwhile ON we are getting schooled by other federations/leagues as to HOW to build a womens soccer program on a solid foundation

I'm sure it's been said in this thread already, but the women earn less because they bring in far less revenue. Simple math.

No one is saying that The Thorns should pay Horan the same as the Timbers pay Diego Valeri
