He thinks the players read the board and will reward him for jousting for their honors.

Women's world generated about $160 million. Tell me how you're going to iron out that disparity in raw dollars? Give the last place team in the men's bracket 1% of the winnings and you're talking $75 million to split between it's players. You'd have to give the first place team 50% of the overall pool in the women's bracket to beat that. So how the hell are you gonna touch that? The numbers simply don't work. I mean kick the numbers around and you're talking a proportional WIN by, what, 3-4 times greater revenue share for the women than the men? And if you want to talk strict merit, take the worst team in the men's world cup and have them play the USWNT - they'd beat them by double digits. Men's soccer yields about 4000% more revenue than women's soccer - yes, the differences should absolutely be as dramatic as they are. Truth be told, they should probably be even more extreme.

Not even close. They were overpaid if you use the standards for compensating men. 25% of the overall revenue generated by the Women's world cup went into the prize pool. About 6% of the revenue generated by the mens did. This isn't a makeable argument. Never has been.

He seems decent at soccer but is definitely not a pro and isn't even remotely close to giving it everything hes got and he's just embarrassing her. Exhibit A for why no one watches female sports outside of shit like tennis. |

If they played the USMNT and both teams played their best possible game it would be double digits by half. The woman tend to have better technical skills but the lack of speed, size and strength is no match. |

So the men should be subsidizing the women. Why are we talking about fairness then? This isn't fairness - it's simple redistribution. And again - the mens curling team 'represents the country' - should the Olympic basketball teams be subsidizing their prize pool?

You've got Michael Bradley out there running 9 miles per match. A similar woman's player is gonna run about 6. The guys can just cover ground for longer. And as you noted, because of the speed mismatch, the guys would be able to do more like 10-12 miles at 80% pace while the women are looking at 4-5 trying to go at top speed. Again - it's barely the same sport.
