Why the hell is the pay being split between Men's and Women's soccer?

Like, why would the men agree to this? That's a joke.

Women have the most watched soccer game ever in US. Over 27 million and that’s without the benefit of out of home. The men haven’t even come close to that number.

This brings higher pay to women's soccer that will motivate more girls to pursue a shot at professional soccer. That will directly help with soccer enrollment.

The men make way more money than the women do. The Women have won world cups so of course those numbers get inflated. If the US men were even in the semis that number would be doubled or even tripled.

It’s not a fair comparison nor is it fair to the men. I assume because all the men’s team are making a ton of money in Europe that they could care less about compensation, but it is still unfair and a dangerous precedent being set.

USSF can structure its finances however they want. If the men don't like the arrangement they can always refuse their invitations.
