They should be paid the same though.

Their men are so schit they should move onto the women's salary.

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. Soccer Federation says facing hostile crowds in Mexico and Central America and makes playing for the U.S. men’s national team a different job than competing for the American women.

The USSF made the claim in documents filed Tuesday night in federal court in Los Angeles, where a lawsuit by American women accusing the federation of gender discrimination is scheduled for trial starting May 5. The U.S. women are seeking more than $66 million in damages under the Equal Pay Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“MNT players routinely play matches (important World Cup qualifiers, in particular) throughout Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. The WNT does not,” the USSF said. “Opposing fan hostility encountered in these MNT road environments, especially in Mexico and Central America, is unmatched by anything the WNT must face while trying to qualify for an important tournament. Even the hostility of fans at home crowds for the MNT in some friendlies can be unlike anything the WNT faces. This is all evidence of substantially different jobs under the EPA.”

BBC have taken a very different take on this, unsurprisingly.

Ignored many of the arguments put forward by US Soccer to make out that it's just a sexist organisation.

Shocking journalism.

It's all about bums on seats and how much each bum is prepared to pay for that seat, the reason the US men's team got paid more in their World Cup is because the men's World Cup generated exponentially more than the women's World Cup, it's realy simple and not unfair at all.

The women also opted for a contract that offered more security compared to the men and as a result affected what they were paid too.
In fact as a percentage of what their World Cup generated the women got paid MORE than the men.

The whining is never ending, the truth of the matter is that as things currently stand not enough people will pay significant sums to watch women play their standard of football - unless the State is going to force people to pay to watch(!) nothing can be done about it and nothing should be done about it.
