Congrats women's soccer for the win... thank you for reminding me how little your sport matters to the world. While drawing attention to the pay gap I also noticed out how overpaid athletes are in the first place. while your soccer talent is unique it is not valuable to society , in my opinion trash wo/men should make more. athletes need to step the fook back In politics and complaining about pay . Let's not forget they are the muscle of the nation and not the brains, amirite?
They should've done away with asking sports teams to the White House, long ago.
There's always someone whining and complaining, that they wont go, turning the occasion into a selfish act..
How about, ask Teachers Of The Year, Firemen, Policemen etc., instead
I have no sympathy for any athlete complaining about what they get paid..
I think the US women's soccer team being fed up with being paid less than the men's , is a way different subject than how "overpaid" athletes are.
sorry... I just find it funny that these are the people claiming to be getting the worst of the world. I think we need a down trodden voice to represent injustice otherwise it seems petty.
I've not heard them claiming that. I think it sort of goes without saying, that professional athletes are among the many who get paid more than others who are far more "valuable to society".
Male players earn more money than female players, but as a proportion of the league's earnings, women's soccer league players earn roughly triple what the men earn, so who's being treated unfairly? Should men make less than the 7% of league income they currently earn, or should women be paid more than the 22% they currently earn?
yes and the guy I work with makes more then me.. these things happen ...would people be so upset if it was called education discrimination
My solution to the pay gap is pay cut the men athletes
They have no respect for this country so shame on them. JMO
