I must say this feels good. Quite a contrast to the women's team.

Well the men get paid more.

As they should!

Due to them drawing more of a crowd and making the association more money, I completely agree. Of course it's no longer true because the idiots agreed to split their pay/profits with the whiny girls team...

The whole payment thing is interesting. Especially since the women's team negotiated their contracts and had the option to get the same pay as the men. Instead chose slightly less pay but get paid whether they play that month or not. The men only get paid when they play. There's a great/funny video of the captain getting called out on it and her having to admit it.

I thought the girls said no to that deal. Of course I quit paying attention, so I have no idea where it ended.

The whole thing is garbage. The women lost in court and they absolutely should have. The association and/or the men's team caved and gave them what they wanted, which IMO is a travesty.

That was the original contract that they ended up suing over. In the most recent contract, the women's team got everything their cold, black little hearts asked for.
