The answer is no.
Yea, I dont get it. They are more popular and more successful. Hell I would wear a Mia Hamm or Julie Foudy or Alex Morgan jersey while I dont even know the name of a single men's team player.

Fact remains. They sell more tickets and get more tv ratings than the men. They make more money for the federation than the men. They should be paid accordingly. This is not suggesting that a WNBA team should make the same as an NBA team.
Reed has been good at these. He seemingly rises up for them.
is he too much of a lightening rod? Or is it health?
I’d love to see the all real numbers laid out….have you seen a legit comparison anyplace?
Ticket sales, merchandising, total revenues including TV, etc….
I thought that was part of the issue with the whole “equal” pay thing….that the men’s team generated more revenue….curious on the real #s.
The hard truth behind equal pay and women’s soccer – The Bowdoin Orient
Dated now, but has some interesting viewing numbers….
In terms of U.S. viewership for the 2018 Men’s World Cup final and the 2019 Women’s World Cup final, the former drew in 11.4 million viewers compared to the latter’s 14.3 million. However, these numbers are a bit deceptive. As I stated before, the men’s team did not qualify for the tournament, nevermind reach the final. While soccer is certainly not unpopular in the U.S., it still falls behind football, baseball, basketball and hockey. Considering the men’s team did not even participate in the 2018 World Cup, it is tough to imagine that many U.S. viewers would have tuned in to watch unless they were true fans of the sport. Conversely, U.S. viewers who were hardly soccer fans likely still watched the 2019 Women’s World Cup final just to be “patriotic.” To push a little further, what if the women’s team did not advance to the final? How many U.S. viewers still would have tuned into the Women’s World Cup final?
Granted, the women’s team still did demonstrate just how significant they are to American culture commercially by pulling in 14.3 million views, so for that reason alone, they should be earning just as much—if not more—than the men’s team from USSF. Yet when it comes to pay from FIFA, that is a much murkier argument that ultimately reveals the underlying truths behind the pay gap between men’s and women’s soccer.
Also to add on to this the US men's team isn't even the most popular soccer team in their own country. I assume you can guess which country's team is.

Met the Wizards coach Unseld Jr today, he's a good down to earth man. I wish him the best of luck this year

They held a town hall today at the arena where fans could just go in and see him speak. Then fans lined up afterwards to talk to him. I told him I appreciated him doing public stuff like this for the fansStory please?

Not me but someone else there interviewed him today
Just had a thought. What if the Ryder Cup captain put the Captain's Picks to a vote among the automatic qualifiers?
You know every guy who makes the team on points/standings will have an opinion about who belongs there. If the Captain makes picks that run counter to most of those opinions it could cause friction, especially if the dissenter is paired with the pick. And if the CPs stink then that will erode confidence in the captain.
Seems like a serious chemistry issue.
This is new how?
