The reality is that in the U.S., men's soccer brings in at least double the revenue of women's soccer and their percentage of the take is actually lower than the women.  The market has spoken about women's soccer.  If they were worth more their revenue would be much greater than it is.  Whose fault is it that they can't generate the revenue?  So in my view they don't deserve a dime more than they are already getting.  They aren't worth it.  Maybe that economic reality will change, but not right now.  This is like telling me I am being unfair for paying a guy $100K for generating $1M in revenue and paying a woman $50K for bringing in $500K.  I can assure you I will pay equally for equal results and I don't give a flip about gender.  But I'm not going to pay a woman twice what she is worth simply because of her gender.  And neither should the soccer federation.  

And I would also point out that the deal was negotiated and now they are whining about what they agreed to.
