Rapinoe No Victim: Women’s Team Earned More Than Men’s Team
Posted to Politics June 25, 2021 by Jennifer C. Braceras


Players on the U.S. women’s national soccer team are paid more than their counterparts on the men’s team. But Megan Rapinoe isn’t letting facts stand in the way of her p.r. campaign to pressure the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) into increasing her salary.

In March, the gold medalist and two-time World Cup Champion complained to Congress and to President Joe Biden that she is a victim of pay discrimination. Later this month, she’ll take her case to the court of public opinion in a new documentary, LFG, that will begin streaming on HBOMax.

Unfortunately for Rapinoe, the only court of law to rule on the matter found her claims wanting.

    I’m not a fan of the argument that men’s and women’s athletes should be paid equally.

    But

    Because they would have earned even more had they been paid under the men’s pay structure, which offers higher bonuses.

    Another article linked by morons, another quote from the article disproving your own idiotic point.

    Rapinoe was on the Today show a few years back and host brought up this exact point. There is more risk for the men because they are not guaranteed anything. Her answer "well, we don't want to incorporate everything from the men's contract." In other words Give me money and take away the risk.

    If both teams made the gold medal game, who would get higher ratings? There’s your answer.

    Her bitcing to anyone who would listen led to millions of dollars in endorsements for her.

    She’s now helping Victoria Secret sell underpants to ugly women, so there’s that.

    She's in a Subway commercial with two men. Were they all paid equally?

    Sounds like their pay should be cut to equal the mens. I suggest basing pay on attendance.
