Whichever guys from the Men's team that agreed to this are absolute morons.

It doesn't sound great, but do the men get half of what the women earn in the World Cup? | |||

As Matt Walsh said, the women's soccer team is essentially the housewives of the men's team. The least they could do is clean their houses or do their laundry for getting half their money. In this case they did absolutely nothing to get that money. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Sickening. Equal pay for equal talent and tough wins; not for doing nothing. | |||

Absolutely ridiculous. The women were offered the exact same deal as the mens team and they turned it down. They wanted other things that the men's World Cup don't get like family leave and healthcare, etc. The men actually make a living in the free market through their professional league which is where they get their healthcare from. So now I guess the women get the same thing the men do for just playing World Cup where the men have to play World Cup and professional league. | |||

Wait wait wait... I understand this equal pay for equal work concept. Of course, it completely flies in the face of pay proportionate to success, and return on investment but we'll set that aside for now. I could understand that if the Men win the world cup, each athlete gets a percentage (say 5% each for easy math) of the team bonus for winning, Thus if the Women were to win their world cup, their percentage of the bonus would be equal (5% each). How the hell do they get half of what the men won when none of them even played? Are they all married to the men's players?

Gooooood comrades, that men’s team!  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

They get half the money for not being there. It sounds like a divorce. === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||

Is that like a huge trophy for NOT participating?
