"That’s according to audited financial statements from the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) obtained by The Wall Street Journal. In 2016, women’s games generated $1.9 million more in revenue than men’s games. From 2016 to 2018, women’s games generated approximately $50.8 million in revenue, compared with $49.9 million for men’s games."



Sure, but that still means the generated more, and for that reason they deserve more.

I don't doubt that's true. The men failed to make the last World Cup and the women won theirs. It's not totally surprising that the women out earned the men. I believe this is the first time in history that has ever happened. The part about the argument that doesn't compute is that the women are given a larger percentage of the revenue they generate domestically than the men. The men just make a ton more money because there is exponentially more money that FIFA distributes, not the USSF. Also, the women don't have health insurance through US Soccer because they failed to get it through their collective bargaining agreement.
