After that truth, things are muddier. How much less? How can that be fair? And most important: What is being done about it?"]]> 2017-04-10 19:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763191 kldawson19 https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763489 "In a wage-discrimination complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in March, five top players on the women’s team accused U.S. Soccer of paying them and their teammates about a quarter of what their counterparts on the men’s national team receive."]]> 2017-04-10 19:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763489 kldawson19 https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763531 "Over the long term, the more established men’s game brings in consistently higher game revenue year over year. (Sponsorships and television revenue are not counted in game revenue calculations; Nike, Fox Sports and ESPN, for example, are “buying the crest,” in U.S. Soccer vernacular, not the rights to a single team.)"]]> 2017-04-10 19:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763531 kldawson19 https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763595 "According to figures provided by U.S. Soccer, since 2008 it has paid 12 players at least $1 million. Six of those players were men, and six were women. And the women hold their own near the top of the pay scale; the best-paid woman made about $1.2 million from 2008 to 2015, while the top man made $1.4 million in the same period."]]> 2017-04-10 19:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763595 kldawson19 https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763915 "Some women in the top 10 even made more than their male counterparts over those years. But the numbers diverge down the list. At No. 25, the female player made just under $341,000, and the corresponding male player supplemented his salary by about $580,000. At No. 50, the male player made 10 times as much as his female counterpart."]]> 2017-04-10 19:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763915 kldawson19 https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763981 "Is it equal work? Not exactly. To qualify for the Women’s World Cup, for example, the United States women’s team plays five games in a single two-week tournament."]]> 2017-04-10 19:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165763981 kldawson19 https://padlet.com/kldawson19/f096fxaeky3y/wish/165764166 "The men’s qualifying road is a two-year, 16-game slog across North and Central America and the Caribbean.
