Why do women's pro soccer players think they should be paid the same as man when a squad of under 15 year old boys can beat them?

The better question is what makes them think they can change a CBA they agreed to before it's up? They chose their pay and got paid more than the men, they have nothing to cry about.

The problem is that the women's game doesn't generate the money that the men's game does.

I agree they should be paid the same for competing. However I believe payments for the national team should be split into 2 separate categories. Basically you have 2 separate categories

Competition payments

This should be equal. And using made up numbers here but here we go

Lets say a base fee of $1000 per game

A $500 bonus for a win

a $100 bonus for a draw

This can be doubled for world cup games and tournament games

Commercial PaymentsThese are not based on sporting merit. This is based on all tv revenue the respective team makes.

So if the USWNT earns $100000 that gets split amongst the womens team. If the mens team earns $1000000, that gets split exclusively amongst the mens team.

It would be wrong to expect actors to be paid the same regardless of how much their movie brings in. Equally its regardless to expect the womens national team to make the same money if the mens team draws more viewers or gets more sponsorship etc. Sporting wise, yes i agree, commercially, hell no...

you mean a pick-up game where the women let the boys win
