They just can't help themselves. 
Go team USA and give 'em hell Rapino! I still can't believe the FIFA dolts scheduled concacaf the same day as the WC.
Here is an interesting article that explains the pay difference compared to the revenue coming in. The revenue difference was many, many times greater than I would have guessed.
Quoted from Capinball:This guy was excited[quoted image]
My girlfriend got a chuckle from that guy. That is the problem with the "you must speak English in 'merica" folks. He got away with a doozy on live TV and most people didn't have a clue.
Quoted from iceman44:And common sense real people have to point out the non stop blatant hypocrisy and stupidity of the vocal loud mouth minority
"Congrats to the USA, not to the actions of some of the players
Then again, that’s what they do to get the attention they crave
I thought FIFA was a bunch of Euro socialists?
Def part of the elitist most CORRUPT body in sports
The women get 60 million versus 440 million to the men"
I feel your pain, Iceman.
Quoted from Who-Dey:She thinks that she should make the same amount of money as the male soccer players, thats hilarious. I mean yeah shes doing the same thing but womens soccer just isnt nearly as popular.
Its like the WNBA, the NBA gives them like 10 million per year or they couldn't even keep going. None of these people are worth the money technically but the fact is people like LeBron James draws a crowd and people like Rapinoe don't.
Its called capitalism, she needs to learn what that is. Women are paid equally in pretty much everything except sports. She needs to find another career.
When it comes to the award money from the world cup I agree that it should be proportional to the revenue brought in. And in a percentage term the women's world cup doesn't quite bring in 5% of what the men's do, fair enough. But if you want to spout this capitalism idea then guess what? The women's US national team brings in more money than the men's national team. They also perform better than the men do as well. Perhaps you might have missed it but the boys couldn't make it to Russia. So can you explain to me how capitalism answers that question when the women bring in more money for the US than the men do?
Quoted from iceman44:Put your $$$ where your mouths are.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love, its the only thing there is just too little of?
I like to give back to people and groups making it happen every day.
I've already sponsored their fall gala for $5k
I'll match another up to $5k for every Pinside $$ donated to this phenomenal charity. OR if you donate to ANY female related charity, breast cancer, anything, I'll match up to $5k as well. Let's make a real difference.

Pandora's box has already opened in this thread. Kudos!
