England football teams - equal pay for men and women

[JackL]

England men's and women's teams receive equal pay, FA announces

Apparently England have been doing it since the new year - they have publicly announced it due to the Brazil FA recently announcing the same.

Do england mens team still donate all of it to charity?

I'm not sure to be totally honest, you would like to think so though

 

[Scotty 1978]

I don’t think it’s a massive amount you get for playing for England

Virtue signalling from the FA.

They know it's all bullshit...

 

[Get Into Em]

It's ridiculous really. It's like saying all singers should earn the same because they all do the same job. Doesn't make sense.

I think they keep the first cheque. Most get it framed.

All the male players get the same ”wage” as each other.

 

[S.S.R..]

Hope this participation medal bollocks filters through to every aspect of society and I get the same wage as a CEO, because we're all the same really aren't we?

USA pays women more then men (despite law suit) in total annual compensation and benefits.

of course the lasses deserve it Based on results on the pitch.

Fair enough when it comes to money playing for England, I'm pretty sure it's a token gesture amount that the lads have given to charity for years.

Watching the women’s charity shield the standard was terrible especially the finishing from the 2 best teams in English league, I’m not sure this is really equality when one side is bringing in the majority of revenue and interest, but maybe I’m sexist!

Hmm not sure about that one. Over 70,000 for a game at Wembley back in November proves they're starting to gain the same drawing power as the men.

All the male players get the same ”wage” as each other.

All the male players are performing at a much higher level commercially. L2 Players don't earn the same amount as Premier League players for this reason.

Not sure I care too much about it actually, there's far too much money in men's football as is. Nice that the lads donate theirs to charity. Nice that the lasses get a bigger bonus for playing for their country.

It’s a standard that will only continue to grow now the players are going professional. Look at football (or cricket) thirty or forty years ago compared to now.

If the ladies can start to actually earn a living from the sport, and are able to train every day, then you’ll see an improvement on the pitch.

Revenue is fine if we’re talking about the clubs, but from the national body I think it should always be about representation.

About £10 a ticket compared to upto £100 for them men. Still no competition in revenues gained really

Realistically, the lionesses are more of a threat for the WC title next tine around. The Dutch manager is truly impressive.

 

[zidanny]

Women footballers wanting equal pay is bloody ridiculous. That woman from the USA who never shuts up about it is a knob.
let’s make football gender neutral and if you’re good enough you play. 100% not one woman would be playing to any sort of professional standard.

Do you mean someone was trying to advocate gender-mixed teams at professional level?

Of course they are, there's about 4 nations take it seriously.
