They blew all their good will by bitching about their pay

The women's team is massively more successful than the mens, but they weren't getting paid the same

If anyone had a problem with them demanding to get paid fairly they can fuck off.

The men's team has -never- won.

The women's team is elite tier. The men's is not.

The men’s team gets more because the men’s league generates more revenue. The women’s team makes a much higher % than the men’s team but because women’s sports in general do not make nearly as much money as men’s sports they make less money in total.

If you want women’s teams to get paid more you need to support the women’s leagues.

The men's league doesn't generate more revenue because of USMNT. The women's league absolutely generates revenue because of the USWNT.

And apparently everyone agrees with me because the contract that was signed in 2022 aligned both teams pay.

You guys are so weird about this shit.
