Too funny! They sued the soccer federation, came loaded for bear, problem is, economiccs and realithy got in the way.

In June, the women's team released a statement claiming that the suggestion that the men's team brings in more revenue and is therefore paid more was false. The women's team claimed that they actually brought in slightly more revenue than the men's team – $50.8 million to $49.9 million. The team looked at the past three years. Looking at more seasons, it became clear that the women's team only out-earned the men's team in one year, and the gap was close in the other two years.

At the end of July, USSF produced a "fact sheet" that included an expanded time frame, showing that the women's team has only recently caught up to the men's team in revenue. Further, the USSF claimed the women's team had actually lost millions of dollars over the past 10 years. USSF also pointed out that the women's team receives a guaranteed base salary for the season and an additional guaranteed base salary for playing in the National Women's Soccer League. They also receive game bonuses, health insurance, a retirement plan, injury protection and maternity leave. The men's team only receives game bonuses, which are higher than what the women's team receives because that's their only compensation.

The men needs to make as much as the women.

If not, it's reverse gender inequality.
