Message: [QUOTE="meyers7, post: 3239286, member: 343"] USSF pays the women their salary + NT stipends (plus I believe they get other benefits, maternity leave, health ins) USSF pays the men the NT stipends (granted at a higher rate than the WNT) but does not pay the men any salary. Soooo, normally, the women end up making more than the men. However, that will of course depend on how many games individual players play in and of course how many games there are each year. Which is one of the main problems with having WNT on salary. When they call in players for camps, they pretty much always call in the salaried players, whether they are in form or not. Cause....they are getting paid anyway. This can keep a lot of newer (not salaried) younger women out of the pool for camps. If you look at the USSF's 990 Tax Form form from 2018, they have a part (Part VII Sect. A) that lists "Officers, Directors, Trustees, Key Employees, and Highest Compensated Employees". Besides the President, CEO, CFO, Coaches, there are 4 actual players listed (list only goes to 32 persons). 4 WNT players (no MNT players). Press, Sauerbrunn, O'Hara and Mewis, each making > $247,000. Again, no MNT players are on that list. NOT including the WNT salaries does not make sense. Because they are getting paid by USSF. It's part of their compensation. It's in their CBA. [/QUOTE]
