    We all know these facts. Why are incels obsessed with it though?

    They also don’t pay by the pound

    If that happens Lizzo would get paid more than Taylor swift or black pink (. The whole group )

    You're completely deflecting the argument by labeling the opposing view with derogatory terms to devalue their position.

    Do women sports generate the same value as mens sports?

    I think they don't understand why Tracy McGrady makes more money than Sue Bird

    They don’t understand what double means

    that means if you generate twice as much revenue as the next company you will make more money

    woke people hate math and economics
    @AroundTheWorld
    It’s like Jeremy Lin fans trying to justify why his airballs are worth two points

    No they don't. Why do people care so much?

    If we’re taking value the US women’s team should be paid more than the men. The Women’s team has historically been far better than the men and names like Rapinoe and Morgan are more well known than the men’s. The fact that we even have a thread about Megan Rapinoe shows her name
    Is far more recognizable than anyone in the USMNT.

    Because they engaged in a years-long crusade to fight for equal pay when they actually were paid more to begin with. And now that they won, they get paid even more. That doesn't seem fair and people want to discuss it.

    This is a silly argument.

    Are they shareholders of these organizations?

    I'm trying to find why incels are addicted to this subject. I'm assuming they are shareholders to these clubs and organizations?

    Off topic but why is it every time someone doesn't agree with you, you label them a leftist or of being woke.........I find it odd but more of a common theme with you and others on this board, you entitled to your opinion, why not let others have there's?

    That's a strawman argument.

    Are they worth what they're paid and do they deserve it? It's the underlying principle to capitalism that can be applied to many aspects of life.

    Again, try not to deflect the argument by using derogatory labels to opposing views.

    Why do so many dudes online care?

    Maybe I'm discussing a concept beyond your grasp.


    I'm trying to understand the psychology and mindset of 15-25 year old boys terminally online concentrate insulting organizations like the wnba and caring so much about pay in women's sports.

    I can understand if you are a shareholder or owner.

    I don't want to stifle anyone's free speech or engage in cancel culture so I'll just say that Megan Rapinoe can say whatever the hell she wants because it's her right to say what she wants.

    ....

    I will say though that it's sort of weird that just because it's Megan Rapinoe, obsessive people like the OP are taking the side of freaking FIFA which is just crazy. You cannot possibly side with a less popular figure/entity in professional sports who are famously corrupt.

    "Value" is determined by how much money goes into the pot. Sponsorships, tickets, etc.

    There is more interest in men's soccer, so there is more money to be distributed.

    It's really not that complicated.

    Women get paid more where there is more interest in certain activities by women than men doing the same thing. Maybe modeling, figure skating, gymnastics, beach volleyball, I'm sure there are other examples.

    FIFA is definitely a horrible organization that is complicit in creating conditions that displace families and create near space labor conditions

    Both FIFA and the Olympics committee are both guilty of this.
