Super Falcons are more successful than the SE. They are 11 time African Champion, World Cup Quarter Finalist, second round.. It's not even close

My fren, it IS a civil service-type issue!jette1 wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 8:37 pmPls what part of the crux am I missing; small increment in a much more bigger societal change ? I don’t think reparation style forced distribution of wealth applies here. Laissez-faire market theory would determine the proportions of earnings and where or whom it goes to in the long run. This is not a civil right issue. Nigeria has been playing football before American could even spell football. Not only has their market forced a successful MLS but also a thriving women league that would never match MLS even though women soccer was already thriving in the US before there was even a mens national team. There will be no further revolution to equalize womens earnings in US traditional major sportsEnugu II wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 11:51 amJettejette1 wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 6:00 amAnyone calling it groundbreaking know very well already it’s dishonest because it’s simply a disarming technique design to quell all the agitation into a cooler. This is a topic the US government hopes goes away for now. I mean how ground breaking could it possibly be. The number one sports in the US is the American style football which women can’t even play, basketball, soccer then baseball in that order. All these sports gross much money than their soccer. Are you getting the picture yet ? Highest paid WNBA player make about 250k per contract compared to 8 million average contract in NBA. Now you can see why they rather not fan this fire any further. Yea we are talking about national teams here but mind you the national teams pay does come from the US government either.Damunk wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 7:35 amStick to the topic.

What do you think about this latest development which many believe is groundbreaking for most sports, not just football?
Unfortunately, it appears you are missing the crux of this issue. This is just a small piece of a larger societal change that is evolving. It is not just about women football in the USA. It is bigger than that.
You and others keep bringing up commercial pay rates as if we are talking about pay for Man City men vs Man City women.
Those are strictly driven by market forces.
All we are saying is that women should not be receiving lower pay than men for being on national duty.
Simple.
Now if part of that payment is made up from a portion of a FIFA allocation, then the government should make up the difference.
It is not too much to ask.
Seriously.
Let the football clubs sort out their own pay structure. Nobody is arguing with that.
This is the national team we are talking about.
Like I asked before, do the Olympic athletes repping Nigeria get paid according to gender?
If they do, then it is shameful.
PS. Sorry, I thought I read ‘civil service’ issue.
Shows how easily words can be misread.
Though you said civil rights, the argument isn’t much different.
