Message: [QUOTE="crewbear742, post: 3474179, member: 7435"] Since the issue is framed in terms of equal pay, the actual equation should be "Equal pay for equal value created." Women's Soccer doesn't come close to creating equal value. Women's Soccer simply isn't that popular. There is sort of a quasi "Labor Theory of Value" in play here. The idea is that peer teams playing at the same level by definition do the same work. No, they don't. It's a lot harder to win on the Men's side because of the interest in men's Soccer worldwide and the concomitant high level of competition. This is much more an ideological case intended to prove that Women's Soccer is in fact a peer of Men's Soccer. It is in truth a denial of the market forces that constrain the growth of Women's professional sport. The USWNT is asking the court to assert that water flows uphill. [/QUOTE]
