I like women's games as well. Mud wrestling comes to mind. (Hot) Beach volley ball. (Hot) Women's track and field. (Hot) Womens gymnastics. (Hot) Women's Swimming. (Hot) Playing doctor and nurse, now there's a fun one. (Hot, Hot, Hot) But women's soccer? Women's soccer is nothing. As a matter of question. Why aren't soccer teams comprised of men and women? Both men and women are equally as fast? Can kick the ball the same. Hit the ball with their heads the same. Brute physical strength is not required. Why the separation anyway? Now, for some real excitement, (not the sexual kind), what would really be interesting to watch, I might even tune in, would be to see men's soccer teams up against women's soccer teams. And if the women win, like on a continual basis, then they'd have something to really crow about. That, I think would be worth watching. Lots more men, and women, would be watching games like that. Imagine it now, close your eyes, think .... one side of a stadium filled with men, the other with women, (I am not accounting for the A-Z crowd here either). The cheers from one side after a score, or penalty call, would definitely be sounding different.Let me say that I FAR prefer to watch the women's games. They are much more aggressive and the game is much faster paced. I have NEVER attended a men's game but have seen some of the women's games. The ladies are far tougher than the grass fairy men...It all comes down to butts in seats, and THAT simple factor will drive pay...
Because of the different pay structures, a straightforward comparison is difficult. The U.S. women earn a base salary of $100,000 annually, while the men are paid $5,000 per game, with bonuses for winning.The women's team collectively bargained for and won a pay structure that guarantees them salaries, severance pay, medical benefits, and some performance-based bonuses. The women's team wanted the security of salary-based pay rather than purely performance-based pay, and they wanted to guarantee a salary even for players who were on the roster but didn't play.
By contrast, the men are strictly pay-for-play. They do not receive a salary or additional benefits like health insurance or severance pay. Their pay structure is performance-based.
Armed and armored up. That would be some exciting sh*t.If I may ...
