Report: U.S. Soccer pay data paint different picture

In response to claims that U.S. Soccer compensates the women's national team unfairly in comparison with the men, it released financial data to ESPNW that show all women made far more than any man in 2015 and for the past four years the average compensation for men's players was just 2.2 percent more than that for the women.

The release of the financial data came in response to an action filed by five players -- Hope SoloCarli LloydMegan RapinoeBecky Sauerbrunn and Alex Morgan -- with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.


A few points raised by U.S. Soccer:

-- Of the 25 top-earning national team players over the past four years, 14 are women and 11 are men.

-- Of the 24 women's national team players under contract with the federation in 2015, 14 made more than $300,000 in salary plus benefits and none of the other 10 made less than $249,000. The top men's player earned just more than $178,000.

-- In no year was the player-compensation-to-team-revenue ratio greater for the men than for the women. (A clause in the women's collective bargaining agreement would trigger a payment to the women if it was.)

Other figures in dispute include the revenues the men and women generated and appearance fees for the men and women in 2015. U.S. Soccer also stated differences in per diems and ticket revenue shares relate to the different timing of men's and women's cycles and they will be eliminated in future agreements.
