  1. OF COURSE the men were going to sign this one – they suck! Now they have two ways of making money from ‘Cup tournaments: [1] play for another country; [2] root for the ladies…

  2. Since Men’s soccer generates 7x more revenue, the men’s team is now subsidizing the women’s team. This is “fair?” And this is good why?
    Soon WNBA players will demand they get paid what NBA players get. WNBA has never made a profit and they are completely subsidized by the NBA teams. But just wait; someone will cry “not fair; equal pay!”

    1. Unless I misunderstand the financial breakdown, the women have been outearning the men by 3x for 20 years now?

      Women will actually make less money under this deal since our mens team has made almost nothing from World Cups this century…

      That was the breakdown I read… entire thing seems like a bunch of wasted time
