U.S. Soccer hires lobbyists to argue women’s national team isn’t underpaid
- thatoneuser 7y agoHow can it be argued their pay isn't fair? If women's soccer is like every other major sport, male athletics will produce much much more value than the women's side. Being paid more is a reflection of more production. Should men get paid the same for donating sperm as women get paid for being a surrogate? Should women who labor make the same as a man who can labor more effectively? I think the answer is no, that's ridiculous. Of course this type of issue only goes one way. I don't ever see powerful entities getting any reception in industries where men collectively get the short end of the stick. Even though men are much more likely to be in poverty, homeless, etc.
- jmpman 7y agoI understand there’s a demand for Women’s soccer in the US, but does that demand spread internationally like Men’s soccer? For a sport where supply and demand forces salaries up in order to secure wins, at least in the men’s side, where are the market forces out of balance on the women’s side?
