Wasn’t this the women’s team that was beaten, badly by a team of teenage boys.
Equality would demand that the boys team gets their wages.

Personally, I think their leftist views should lead to their salaries being the same as the average US salary even though the average salary is earned by a person doing a real job and not just playing a game.
Make this a simple argument.
A guy’s game can draw 45,000 fans in most European countries and Latin America. A gal’s game in the same region....will be lucky to draw 5,000 fans. It’s this measurement that the salary situation should be drawn from.
Even in most US cities....where women’s soccer is organized and run...it’s marginally working. The Chicago team plays in an arena that can hold a max of 20,000 fans. If you look at pictures of the arena for these games...it’s maybe 30-percent full. No idea what they charge, but it can’t be more than $10 a seat.
