should my 10 yr old sons house league soccer team get paid the same as the USWNT?


we dont have nearly the viewers as the United States women's national soccer team, or as good skills, or make as much in jersey sales, or as many sponsors. but still i feel its inequality and that they should get the same pay right?

reply

Yes children should be paid the same as females and females should get paid the same as males. It all just makes sense.

reply

You don't have to convince us, you have to convince "them". No one ever got more money just for saying please, unless they were employed by family.

What are you willing to do to ensure your kids get a fair cut?

reply

I was thinking of just shouting "discrimination" kinda like how the womens team. say my kids are oppressed, not beng paid fairly compared to the USWNT etc. think thatll work?

reply

That will not work. But I would be wrong. Going to give it a try?

Why do you think the United States Soccer Federation agreed to give the women's team more money? There is nothing wrong with anyone demanding more money. It is American as apple pie and baseball.

reply

i think im going to try it, no matter how poorly they play.

PR? why do they always cave? they have rabid women shouting sexism, unfair, unequal at them. no matter how factually untrue this is. While spreading made up "sexist" division. its one thing negotiating. its another claiming systematic sexism is to blame and being the victim.

the women negotiated a different contract than the men. They wanted less pay but far more benefits. they could have had the mens contract and didnt want it. now they want all the perks of theirs AND the mens.

reply

So? They want more. They got it. You're not the one writing checks to the women's players. Why do you care?

reply

i explained the "so". using divisive claims of sexism is damaging. and it shows. look how hated they are

reply

🤣

reply

I don't think the players care if you hate them, or not. I certainly do not care if you hate them. Just keep it to yourself.

reply

well cool, you can argue for total selfishness and "i got my bag screw everyone else and the damage i cause".

but im not a sociopath apparently like yourself or these players.. actually i wont and you cant make me but nice try

reply

Asking for money does not make a person a sociopath. What kind of commie dystopia are you looking for anyway?

reply

getting money on a lie and and not caring its causing large damage is.

are you really this stupid?

reply

What do you claim is the lie and where is the damage?

reply

wow literacy isnt your strong suit as ive covered both now multiple times. take care. hopefully you arent an idiot next exchange.

reply

So far you have claimed;

That the USWNT has fewer viewers, sales, skills and sponsors than "someone else".
That the women's team negotiated a different contract.
That using divisive claims of sexism is damaging (to you)?
That I am a sociopath for claiming that the players do not care if you hate them.
That the US women's team is getting money on a lie.

You will not explain what you think the lie is, then insult me when I ask you to explain.

I think this means you are unable to debate at all and are looking for a way out.

reply

you are dumb. get help

reply

That all you got? Better sit down and shut up before the universe owns your ass.

reply

hahahahah you are either a bad troll or incredibly stupid. i laid out clearly the lie and damage but it doesnt fit your mental narrative. dumb as bricks

reply

Except the women's team makes more revenue than the mens, and no-one watches your team.

reply

I'm guessing you didn't actually read this. It isn't as black and white as that, and this article certainly doesn't say that in any firm way.

reply

I read it alright, and the lasses get paid less. And no-one world-wide knows about any male players, because they are all shyte.

reply

you didnt read it did you...

"Ultimately, the compensation formulas are too variable — and too little is known about the governing documents — for us to put Warren’s claim on the Truth-O-Meter."

ALso YA they negotiated different contracts. the women COULD HAVE had the mens contract but didnt want it. they wanted more benefits for less pay. Now they are demanding them mens contracts perks AND their own contracts.

reply

Your ten-year-old son's house league soccer team could probably beat the USWNT. A team of fourteen-year-old boys did.

reply

that is so embarrassed for them. and Megan says trans players should be allowed to compete.

reply

You really think that a team of 10 year old boys can beat adult women?

reply

I think if you'd used "my 20yr old daughter's house league team" you may have raised a more interesting question, although the troll wouldn't have been so good.

As it is, everyone is aware that once males pass puberty they will have a physical advantage over females. Once they pass thirteen, fourteen maybe, it would be pretty inconceivable to believe any woman's side could beat them.

However by casting the troll in such terms, it's clear you have no belief in what is the social construct of female sports.

Or perhaps you do - perhaps you think "Yes it's okay to have a separate division for females in all sports, as long as they are aware that they can never, ever profit from it". But in that case you'd be believing in the social construct of female sports but not the similar social construct of equality in pay...

reply

I don’t actually play but I should be paid the same too.
