United States men's national soccer team

In the United States of America, women are getting paid less than men that work the same job. Recently there has been a push for businesses to get rid of the difference in salary between the sexes, but some salaries haven’t changed. During the summer of 2015, the United States women's national soccer team (USWNT) won the women’s FIFA World Cup. They won fifteen million dollars and a two million dollar bonus. However, in the summer of 2014, the German men's national soccer team won the men’s FIFA World

Thirty million dollars, that’s what the German National Soccer team made last year for winning the World Cup. The World Cup is one of the most prestigious accomplishments in any sport. The players in the World Cup are some of the hardest working, highest paid athletes in the world. These players are paid tremendous amounts of money by their club, their country, and FIFA. However this is not the only World Cup, on a different four year rotation is the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The women in the World

Inequalities in Soccer When it comes to sports men and women are rarely given equal opportunities to excel. This is the case in soccer specifically, as many individuals over look women’s soccer. Women are having to play on turf fields which is causing more injuries compared to men playing on natural grass. Men also make more money per match and they receive money if they lose, whereas the women do not receive any money if they lose a match. While women are becoming more successful, the men’s team has been

Many major changes have been made over the years, but women still suffer from discrimination in many ways. One of the most obvious is the wage gap between women and men. This difference in pay for women has had a significant impact on the United States in both sports and business. Over the past 30 years there have been many defining events in this continuing struggle. In the “modern” era one of the first major events that brought attention to the wage gap was the Billie Jean King vs Bobby Riggs

The Embracement of Soccer The rest of the world lives and breathes soccer much like Americans live and breathe football. The world embraces soccer because soccer brings people and their countries together. Nations throughout the world come together for 90 minutes to see what nation will prevail so much so that soccer is said to be the unofficial universal language throughout the world. But many people in the U.S. have never watch a full soccer game in their lifetime. This is why U.S. will never

One the other hand, the United States men’s National Soccer Team (USMNT) has not earned nearly as many achievements. The only major achievements the USMNT has had is winning the Golden Cup six times and winning the Copa America tournament twice. More to the point, the USMNT is placed 27th in the world and has failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup after losing to Trinidad and Tobago, who is currently placed 83rd. They lost one of the most crucial games against a team that is ranked 56 places below

“The United States Women's National Team is paid almost four times less than the United States Men’s National Team, despite producing nearly $20 million in revenues for U.S. Soccer in 2015”. Some may argue that just because they are women they don’t deserve equal pay or the same rights as the men’s soccer players. This is one of many situations that contributes injustices against women. It is these injustices that Marge Piercy exposes in her feminist poem “A Work of Artifice.” Although to the untrained

sports in the United States is soccer. In 1990, more than 1.5 million kids between the ages of 5 and 19 registered with US Youth Soccer. Today more than 3 million kids are registered, nearly doubling the participation in youth soccer. (Kounang). There is also an increase in the number of people watching soccer. The United States hosted the Copa American Centenario tournament in June of 2016. Three-point twenty-nine million viewers watched the semi-final game between the United States and Argentina

Women Soccer Players Should be Paid More In the year 2015, the Women’s United States national team won the World Cup. When they won they earned a $2 million. Even though this was a great accomplishment, in the 2014 Men’s World Cup, Germany won and earned a whopping $35 million. This is a major pay gap between the men and women’s soccer teams. I believe that women soccer players should be paid as much or more than their male counterparts. Many people believe that men and women soccer players are

poles tonight.” “Yeah, he must be a U.S. Women’s fan too cuz Lord knows the men’s team is terrible.” This come from two middle aged women decked out in U.S. Soccer gear sitting a row behind me. The group of people around them chuckle after hearing this exchange. It’s just a fact around here: the women play better. Just three months later I walk into Jordan Field, home of the Boston Breakers, a professional women’s soccer team and as we walk towards the stands one of my friends jokes that even our high
