I'm familiar with where the argument originated from, but my comment was more in general with where the narrative is right now, because it has become global as Soyrosa says, in her own country, as well as here in mine.

Regardless of the US women's team performing better than the men's US team, they are pretty much two completely different industries. Yes, in the States you can make the argument about equal work for equal pay, but at the same time it's not just about ticket sales or memorabilia, the men's league still forms part of the global soccer industry as a whole. Remember when a US. club team bought David Beckham, then there is the viewership, which is where most of the money comes from, the women's WC reaches 0,4% of what the the men's WC reaches.

My argument is in regards to the economics of the industry, which is being ignored in my opinion, all for the sake of gender equality. Demanding economic equality can only be done by completely ignoring the economics of the industry which is dictated by the consumer.

When it comes to Wimbledon, it's been packaged together, the women's tournament doesn't happen 6 months later, and the women's final had more viewership than the mens final, so they should get a bigger prize.
