I am all for equal pay for equal work, but unfortunately the Women’s Soccer Players do not realize that Soccer is a busness, and until the women’s game generates the same revenues and profits as men’s soccer, they simply can’t demand equal pay. I know I sound harsh, but now that I am a partner, I understand the concept of expenses a lot better, and salaries are an expense, so when you have larger expenses and less revenues, you have less profits, or even a loss. No one wants that, so once the women’s soccer has the same revenue as the men, it is then that women should demand equal pay; not before. YAY!!!

Hi Ellen –
I think you need to do a little more research on the USWNT before commenting on the case. They recently surpassed the annual revenue of the men’s team by approximately $3-5MM. Not sure if you know much about SEM, but the USWNT has generated more organic search queries in 2019 then the men. Much of the USMNT search interest actually drafted off the lawsuit and comparisons to the USWNT.
Also – US Soccer is a nonprofit. FYI.
At my company, where I am also a partner, if my clients want to pay one of my male and mediocore employees more purely because of his gender whereas a female employee who clients overlook is the one winning prestigious awards with her innovative and best in class work … I certainly wouldn’t pay my male employee 10x the female employee. We reward our employees based on talent and the job they’re doing. And if our clients are sexist … well, that’s their loss. We’re willing to take the small financial “hit” to ensure our employees are compensated fairly. In fact, that support of our employees pays of in loyalty for years to come, virtually 0 turnover, etc.
But I guess some of us have a different perspective on how to run a business.
