You missed a bit this time Mork. This is about Equal Pay for Equal Work in the US. The Women's team just picked up it's 4th star (WC Championships). I'm not so sure the men have qualified for 4 in my lifetime and have 0 stars.

The women sell more memorabilia and more tickets than the men's team. Their lawsuit does not suggest that the women should be compensated at the level that they have so obviously earned, but at a level equal with the men. Who, by your logic, are under performing and over paid.

This suit has nothing to do with the state of soccer in the world. It has everything to do with the state of equality in the US. And only the US.

And let the record show, I much prefer watching the US women's team. They play the game together and attack. It's good football.

And please don't use the tradition argument. I remember when tennis was absolutely forced to equal pay. Look today. Wimbledon, where the men's and women's prize pools are precisely the same. Look at all the revenue they lost for it!
