Easiest way to kill this argument is.......
Would the women perform equally as well as the men if they played the same exact competition? Of course not. Women cannot compete against men......in soccer. The fairest way to reward performance is to give the best the most. No? Men are better than women in 99% of sports. This cannot be argued.
Democrats lose again!!!!!

I've been reading more about it and found a few more articles. The setback may not end up being that big of a deal for the women in the long run - it may actually help them. People in the US love to play the victim card and the women now get to keep doing that and since the new CEO of US soccer is a former women's player so I'm sure their new contract will be happy for all. I mean even the men's team has asked for them to be paid more.
What's funny to me though is reading some of these articles about the case in the left leaning media. People are calling the decision "Shocking" and what not. Legally, it wsan't shocking at all if you read the judge's decision. Look at this excerpt from the NY Times.
the NY Times wrote:
Not only had U.S. Soccer not paid the players less than the men, Judge Klausner wrote, it had convinced him that “the WNT has been paid more on both a cumulative and an average per-game basis than the MNT” over the years covered in the case.
And the pandering by the politicians on this is embarrassing. Did anyone see Joe Biden trying to appear all woke on this?
https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1256636638144446466I can't believe that tweet is just randomly dropped in the middle of the NY Times article. What does it have to do with the decision? They left just so much wants to give the guy a pass given the sexual assault allegation.
Does the US govt even give any money to them like he implies?

Americans are so financially illiterate. Most literally think money does grow on trees just that the rich have unlimited access to these vast forest of money trees. That just printed more money and direct depositing into your checking accounts would make everything better.
Let's not forget that the U15 Dallas boys team beat the USWNT 5-1. The Australian women's national team also lost badly to U15's.

Yes she would. By staying in the spotlight and being a whiner, she'll be more and more marketable.
If the players wore tight tank tops and bun huggers then maybe I'd watch their amazing talent.
I used to be ambivalent towards women's soccer, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it, but if I was flipping through the channels I might stop and watch part of a game.
The lawsuit was a complete turn off. I won't watch any women's soccer anymore.
