World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

It's my understanding that some of the benefits, specifically "medical and dental insurance, paid child-care assistance, paid pregnancy and parental leave" isn't really an USSF thing, its because the women's team is the Olympic team and it is benefits provided Olympic athletes...

Here’s the thing: the Men don’t get those benefits. If they don’t play, they don’t get paid.

(Yes they have club contracts but that’s not the USSF’s fault)
 
Re: World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

A couple things that I wish would get reported on but won’t because it goes against the “*sniff* Our Brave Gals” narrative:

1. Someone to ask the WNT players what they mean by “equal pay”. They’ve already rejected proposals for CBA’s that exactly mirror the MNT CBA so WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot do they want? (Hint: they want all the money and f- the Men’s, Youth, Futsal, Beach, Para, Referee, and Coaching programs)

2. Why is the WNTPA so restrictive on its membership requirements? It takes a certain number of caps to become a member, but the amount of non-member players that can even be brought into a camp, let alone the lineup, is restricted by the CBA.

They still have to qualify (so did the WNT but that was a few weeks ago) and of course the roster rules are more restrictive (can only have 3 players over 23 and clubs are not required to release their players whereas the Women’s tournament is a full FIFA event and clubs are required).

But the point is that some of these benefits that USSF props up are reasons for the different structure have nothing to do with USSF and come from the Olympics part of Women's soccer. I don't disagree with you that the women have disagreed with a similar pay structure to MNT and the biggest issue is them wanting to keep their limited structure which protects players who are in the team while getting paid more too. They can't have it both ways. They need to open it up.

I honestly wonder if they’re required too, they could dump everything off onto the NWSL (and likely Euro) club owners and pay bonuses only.

Reading from reports the biggest claim from the WNT numbers is the bonuses paid out for the World Cup, which is based upon the prize money paid out by FIFA, something the USSF has very little control over (I won’t say zero because they do get one vote).

For an analogy: The WNT is suing their parents because their grandmother shortchanged them on their inheritance.

Re: World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

It's important to note that the CONCACAF Champions League is the only Continental Club Championship that doesn't use VAR at any point of the competition.

Yes, this includes Asia and Africa.

still? Is it US Open Cup that is adding it this year? I guess I just assumed CCL would too.

I haven't heard anything about the US Open Cup adding it, though we're still a month or so from getting the complete handbook and rules from USSF.

The Gold Cup (which is the only Continental Championship to not have it) is adding VAR starting in 2021, that may be what you're thinking of.
 
Re: World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

1. I hate that I have to watch LAFC v León instead of Seattle v Olimpia because I don’t get FS2.

2. I hate that I have to root for LAFC.
