So where does the money come to pay the WNT? If they can't generate the cash from the woman's side of the sport then why should they get the same amount of money as the MNT?
If they generate equal or more from the woman's side then they should get equal or more. We don't need more subsidies. If no one watches your sport you won't get paid a lot. Case closed. Now that the team isn't a powerhouse and is struggling, this is the last thing they need.

I think they have a case.
Compensation is a function of revenue generated. If the men's team earns more, the players should make more, but if the basic percentages are not consistent - which appears to be the case - then women have a strong case. Add-on the discrepancies related to Travel, Hotel Accommodations, and meal per diem and the women will likely win something.

Have you ever seen the revues generated men’s team vs. women’s team? Huge descrepency. The gap closed this past cycle, I’m sure, since the men missed out on the huge WC payday. Still can’t imagine tht they are close.
Is it the percentage of revenue generated allocated for compensation that they are unhappy with on the women’s side?

I thought it was more complicated. I know I read articles a year ago that the WNT had contracted basically a 'fixed price" compensation vs. the MNT that contracted a "revenue share" compensation I think, so it is not as straight forward as it could be. If the WNT contract is risk free and the Mens is revenue based they are completely different.

Poetic that they filed this on International Women’s Day.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWaste of time speculating over what’s in the contracts, etc., but these aren’t commissioned salespeople so doubt revenue-generation is the main basis for how they are compensated. The issues are sex discrimination on a broad range of issues, not a simple pay dispute. I doubt USSF wants it’s dirty laundry dragged through a very public legal proceeding so I’m sure this gets settled out of court and the women get more of what they want.

Equal pay for equal work is fun to say, but ultimately it comes down to what you negotiate. That negotiation is not gong to be based on how hard you work, but rather on how much you produce.
Interesting article from almost 3 years ago, but still good backdrop on the complexity of this issue.

article says that in 2016 women generated more top-line revenue and bottom line profit than the men.
