The entire debate is completely confused. Mostly because the Men and Women get paid in entirely different ways - The Men get money for making the roster and games they play in, in addition to per diems. The Women get a SALARY from US Soccer in addition to roster and win bonuses. Now I agree the per diems should be the same, but the rest of it you have to take into account the salary that is spent on the women when discussing equalizing the roster and win bonuses. And most of these commentators don't understand that in the slightest.
