They are fighting for pay equity with America’s men team --- do the women think that the black players on their team should be paid the same as the white players – just asking

I’m waiting for one of thewomen players or a proxy to respond. Then I’ll put in my 3cents.

still none of them are household names in America or around the world. Ask a kid in the streets to name three of the players on that team and most will not have a clue. Let the American media hype them now, they will be forgotten in a few days.

Womens football popularity still far behind around the world

What's the basis for your question? Do the Black guys on the USA men's team get paid less than the White ones?

I would love to see revenue numbers from both teams. Id the women's team garners the same revenue then Yes pay them equally.

This I would love, one of their best players whose black was basically banned from the team because she was Christian but this puts a whole new spin on things

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I don't see a reason for the question.

There lies the crux of any discussion, and then revenue etc! And there are several many other criteria dependent on how contracts are done.

the only equal pay the women can advocate is an equal percentage of revenue, what next the WNBA will want equal pay?

That’s just the way it is – just Google - Earnings Differences by Gender, Race and Ethnicity
