Pay Disparity in U.S. Soccer? It’s Complicated
I bet the problem is that men won't put up with that shit and go out on strike while women don't want to make waves and don't fight for their just desserts.
But regardless to the reason of the disparity, the ultimate disparity is employers are cheap and won't pay their people more than they absolutely have to, to keep them fully staffed. It's not based on revenue of the company or how much money their employees make them. It's based on how easy it is to replace them with someone cheaper.
