Women's football pay

[Rose65]

Really good now, they have earned great respect.
So don't they get big pay then like the men?

I'm a sentimentalist, I love ladies to look and behave like ladies, however, some are becoming very good at football, so when they can fill stadiums like Old Trafford or Anfield on a regular basis, then the big bucks will surely follow. Good luck to them.

Because Football and Cricket are run by MEN and they are WOMEN, really sums it up!

No they get pennies compared to the men, the FA
seem to be sexist, they started an argument with
the women about a bonus depending on how well
they do in the World Cup, the week before the start!

It depends on what kind of "football" are you talking about.-soccer, or American football. I don't think the pay difference is due to a lack of ability on the part of women. The revenues used to pay players comes from advertising. And male players have much bigger audiences, which support larger payrolls.

No. As with all professional sports, income is tied to ticket sales and sponsorship.

Want to see female athletes earn more? Buy tickets to all their games.
