Your assumption that they generate more revenue is sexist and incorrect. In 2015, when the complaint was made, the women's team raised more revenue than the men's team: https://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2016/04/06/uswnt-us-soccer-... (The reason is simple: the men's team sucks, while the women's is one of the best in the world and is the only reason why the US has ever won a World Cup. The revenue discrepancy would be even more, of course, if both World Cups received equal rewards for winning.) You are probably correct, though, that sexist assumptions like yours are why they are paid less. You aren't helping your case about how we should assume the best of the people speaking out in support of discrimination, though. |
