Female Soccer Players Overpayed?

Reviews
The U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro has presented the fact that the U.S. Women's National Team has been paid more than the men's team over the past several years. The truth is told by the numbers. This report of the case is overall moderate and calculated, with only a few instances of fiery unreason.

Cordeiro's letter included 10 years of financial data concerning the USMNT and USWNT (United States Men & Women's National Team) respectively.
USWNT were paid around $34.1 million from 2010-2018.
USMNT were paid around $26.4 million from 2010-2018.
FIFA World Cup men's team made $41 million (including bonuses) from 2010-2018.
FIFA World Cup women's team made $39.7 million (including bonuses) from 2010-2018.
The winner of the men's Russian tournament made more than the women's French tournament this summer.
After winning is 4th World Cup, the USWNT is working on resolving the equal pay issue with the USSF (U.S. Soccer Federation).
Molly Levinson, the players' spokesperson, responded to the letter.
Levinson says the USSF uses words such as "fair" and "equitable" instead of "equal" in describing pay.

U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cardeiro claims the women's team is paid more than the men's.
In his letter, Cordeiro desired his audience to hear his case because the women's team had shared theirs.
Cordeiro appealed to his audience to understand the key facts so that both of the teams could grow together.
U.S. Soccer admits they are not responsible for the inequity of FIFA's prize money.
Levinson remarked on the "sad attempt by the USSF to quell the overwhelming . . . support the USWNT has received."
Levinson said the USSF repeatedly admit that their women aren't paid equally or even deserve equal pay.
Levinson declares the numbers the USSF uses are "utterly false," including inflated NWSL (National Women's Soccer League) salaries for mere show.
"Any apples-to-apples comparison shows that the men earn far more than the women," Levinson states.
