Equal Pay For Soccer Players

Now that the women's world cup soccer tournament is over it has been revealed that the women are splitting a smaller amount of money than the men.  This is causing complaints from the women that they are being treated unfair.  It turns out they are right.  The women get to split 13% of the revenue from the world cup that they participated in and the men only get to split 9%.  It is unfair that the men get screwed out of 4%.  We should fight for equal pay for men.

 

"This years figures have not been released, but four years ago the Women's World Cup brought in almost $73 million. The 2010 Men's World Cup in South Africa made almost $4 billion. Those players got $348 million, or 9 percent of the total revenue. The women's team got a higher percentage with 13 percent, but the bottom line was still much less, $10 million."

Equal pay means you get the same amount of money for the same job. Women underperform in revenue, so it is a different job. They have no right to complain here.

Side: Make it equal

Most definitely,you're correct that extra bit might motivate them to up their levels of football and might even help the Women Footy Association grow even further;these complaints need to be answered ;look at the difference of viewership in Brazil 2014 and here in this concluded W.World Cup

Side: Make it equal

Make it equal as both sides play equally well... and what happened to men and women being not equal all of a sudden.... They are just different in their own ways... But it is a sport that we are talking about.. Hence, equal pay for both sides...

The soccer women play is much less interesting and does not generate as much money. If the women were paid the same amount, women's soccer would lose money.

Side: Give women more

There should be equal pay for Soccer Players. Women should receive the same amount of pay.

That couldn't work. If women soccer players got paid the same amount it would amount to more than woman's soccer generates.
