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."
