Let's not overlook the fact that the court dismissed their equal pay claim in the lawsuit and U.S. Soccer decided to settle with them anyway.
STephen is the AL SHARPTON OF woke karens everywhere. what lies and deciet. what fake BS. no credibility since they all became race husters pushing racist bigotry.. want to be a woke AF Karen the real people make fun of? watch and believe ESPN. Shame on the media for pushing easily disproved lies.
It wasn’t necessarily a dead issue. The judge dismissed it in the trial court but it was headed for an appeal but they settled shortly before the appeal would’ve been heard. But they had a good chance to win their appeal - to dismiss it meant there was no arguable fact that a jury could have ruled in their favor. The context of the argument and how the pay was calculated and how that difference factors in was very likely an argument that a jury should hear. Doesn’t mean they would’ve won but it was still an issue that should’ve been argued. But the PR of just getting a deal done was appealing to settle. Because it wouldn’t have ended there since they would’ve had to them begin to negotiate the next CBA where the issues would’ve still been out in the media. Sometimes you settle just to move on
they brush all that under the carpet because it rains on their pity party!
@@Matt-cr4vvthe men didn’t get paid during Covid. The women’s team got paid millions of dollars in pay and benefits.
@@Matt-cr4vv How did they have a good chance to win their appeal on what grounds?
"Pay us what we're worth" They were, you weren't worth that much.
SAS deserves an Oscar for that performance
Lmao right
I don't get this, actually they were pay more than men and that's why the case was dismissed in the first case. This dump 🤦🏽

Dude has openly said I’m a proud capitalist and delivers this nonsense
Didn’t he get fired?
They loss in court.... this is equivalent to child support to make this go away.
They should be paid in relation to the money they generate…. They can’t pay you money you don’t generate.
EXACTLY!!!!!
Exactly I just wrote this. Do they expect mens sports to fund womens sports forever.
What does the USMNT generate in comparison to the support they are given regardless of results though? That matters too. The men have more resources and are also treated better. The woman don’t even get to stay at the same hotel as the men.
@@ethanweeter2732 it's called a budget
@@ethanweeter2732 why would you give them the same as men when not a lot of people care or want to watch it. If women want get paid the same as men they maybe they should encourage all women to support the womens game instead of mens. But they won’t because it’s nowhere near as entertaining
This gap gets debunked so many times over and over.
There’s a whole site dedicated to showing you how real it is Lmaoooo
@@mally4339 does your brain work?
You are aware that US Soccer has collective bargaining with the men's and women's teams right? The Men negotiated a contract that had NO guaranteed money or benefits in exchange for the CHANCE for huge bonus payments if they performed well. None of the alternates to the men's team got paid, ONLY those who are on the active roster. The women NEGOTIATED a much different contract. They opted for much smaller bonus payments for performance in exchange for guaranteed money up front. Alternates on the women's team get paid just like the women who are on the final roster. They also had benefits like health insurance and other things the men did not have. The women chose SECURITY vs rolling the dice on performing at the highest level and then they want to cry that they are not getting paid on a contract THEY NEGOTIATED. These women are LIARS pushing a false narrative for a political agenda.
No one cares about the truth, only the media narrative. The women's team bullied their way to even more money and everyone is cheering for the buly.
Yea but you cant tell women they are wrong anymore. Welcome to the new age.
Thank you 🙌🏼
@@flyinglow7218 Yep for women men are simply disposable. We are their ATM machines and sperm doners and that is the extent that most women care about what a man is worth. I remember when we pulled out of Afghanistan and the feminists were saying we had to stay and protect the women and girls of Afghanistan. They were 100% ok with forcing men to give up their lives to protect women and girls in a third world country.
I knew it was a catch to this.. I never believe this woke people
They don’t even generate a percentage that the men do😂😂😂 the wnba would be bankrupt without the nba 😂😂 am I on pranked
How can people be so dumb
We are talking PERCENTAGES not raw numbers. Ofc men's nba will have higher salaries because it's way more popular. But does that mean women should get less percentage of WNBA revenue than the men get of NBA revenue?
Make it make sense
@@ShinMail6164 that’s the point they don’t generate enough to be on tv so literally they are getting paid more😂😂
@@ShinMail6164 if you check the numbers you'd see that women in wnba get bigger percantage from the revenue.
In terms of revenue, the US Women and US Men's teams are almost even. The WNBA have nothing to do with the USWNT, which by the way is the national team. You're getting them confused with the domestic league, the NWSL, which is an entirely different entity. There are already several national teams worldwide who are already paying their men and women equal bonuses. The league teams are entirely different story.
@@ShinMail6164The WNBA looses around 10 million dollars a year according the the NBAs own figures. So they would get a PERCENTAGE of negative 10 million dollars which means that they would owe the NBA money lol. The problem with people who believe what the mainstream media tells them, they punk themselves.
Bro this is ridiculous 🤣 they want equal pay for something there significantly worse at ????
Exactly lmao dude it's over these women wanna be men so bad how u gonna argue about equal rights lmao next they gonna want mr beside their name
Yeah that is wild they’re asking too be spoon fed
If people don't pay me millions for my finger paintings then I scream wage gap
Idiot. The womens soccer team is 10x better than the mens team. Idiot
Tell me the last time USA mens soccer qualified for the olympics??? Idiot
In 4 years they will say this deal was terrible and they were forced to sign it.
This, exactly this. Preach!
Less then that.
Stephen A can’t even name 1 US womens player lmfao FOH.
I can’t name a single men’s player so…

@@jeffreyortega3932 irs all good bro

Haha Stephen A acting like he cares, this is one of the funniest segments ever 😂😂😂😂. When he’s pretending to be serious, it’s even more funny than he’s going crazy.
Thanks guy
You must be bored
Really sad how you missed the point.
So your not allowed to agree with this as a man ? Y’all are weird af bruh
Can't wait to hear SAS talk about the USWNT win over New Zealand in his next segment lol
If they bring in less revenue why should they get equal pay
I don’t think soccer brings in less pay. People watch womens soccer.
@@MzMJ77 naw they just wanna be men hence most the women. Speaking out are married to other women
@@MzMJ77 mens soccer brings in more revenue than womens look it up if you dont believe me its almost twice as much
@@robert52354 It’s shocking if anyone doesn’t believe you initially 🤣🤣🤣
@@MzMJ77 nobody watches women soccer. Only WC games and tickets are free in many cases.
Being political correct has made ppl delusional
No one in the media (including SAS) wants to tell the truth about how this has nothing to do with gender. It's about viewership and revenue that athletes are able to generate.
I 1000% agree but I think the womens argument (privately) is that they are actually winning world cups and always ranked top 3 or whatever vs the men historical struggles against top teams. But what’s painted to the public is equal pay but in reality the women 100% fully know they don’t pull the same viewership but their argument is that they are actually winning big championships. But totally agree with your statement.
@@jeffreyortega3932 when it comes to soccer women generate more revenue than Man.
@@elbarto1032 I know but the men bring more from interest alone. For example the mens can air a friendly game on prime time ESPN while the girls play a meaningful tournament game on ESPNNEWS and nobody watches. That’s the problem here.
@@jeffreyortega3932 well that y may be true but when it comes to soccer if we are talking only about the US women bring more eyes and it hasn’t been like that for the past few years, today may be different but those women deserve squeal pay . Basketball and other sports that’s a different discussion since there’s a huge gap in revenue but in soccer I think is fair right now
@@elbarto1032 I agree don’t get me wrong. My thing is just that the women are far more successful then the men and from that aspect they deserve equal pay however any mens game generates far more attention then any womens game unfortunately. The numbers are there. Sponsors much rather attach themselves to the mens team then the womens team because whatever they’re promoting reaches way more consumers just because the mens team is the more “popular” team. At the end of the day it comes down to what you weigh more. Success or attention. This is a sport and sports are made to have a winner therefore success SHOULD outweigh attention which should give them equal pay. It’s just dumb that the women are fighting this battle on their own. The support from ESPN, FOX, NIKE, ADIDAS, etc. is nothing compared to the mens. If they had that support and brought it to the table along with their success, equal pay wouldn’t be the goal, higher pay then the men would be the goal.
I’ll come back to this comment section in an hour and see what’s here
SAS: remember when womens bball tourney gym was less than the mens?
Molly: that was egregious…
Ok, so spend equal time covering womens march madness as you do the mens lol hypocrites
Locker rooms were worse, their hotels were way worse even, and transport was worse. They work with half the resources probably and win far more against even superior or equal competition.
@@ethanweeter2732 my point was that ESPN says inequality is bad but then cover men’s sports way more than women’s
@@KyleSorenti This is legitimate. AFTV is a great example on the opposite of this (formerly Arsenal Fan TV). Robbie (the owner/creator) sends reporters and interviews the Arsenal Ladies even though it's a net loss in terms of views because he cares about equality. Stephen A has a huge platform with First Take, even covering women's sports once a week regardless of the ratings it would increase the attention even a little.
😂 Steve A really wanted to say he could care less about this topic because he really wanted to say, nobody is saying I can’t wait to see what female sports team is playing tonight. Lol
I for sure don’t know anyone saying that lol.
@@Mrjonezzz LMFAOOOO

Let's see if Stephen a acts the same when Molly makes as much as he does, that's equality right there right? 😂
Stephen A has said very recently, he’s an unabashed, unashamed capitalist. If Molly were raised to be at his own market value, he’d artificially inflate it and tell ESPN he’s worth loads more than her, and demand twice her salary. It’s just what they do😂😂
We know this team to be better than a lot of the guys? Come on ma’am that’s ridiculous. They aren’t in the same stratosphere as the men snap out of it. The Messi’s Ronaldo’s Neymar’s mbappes are 1 million Miles ahead of these women even at almost 40 this is insane lol
Person to person you’re correct. But our womens soccer team out performs our mens soccer team. Not saying head to head, but our mens soccer team is embarrassing whereas the woman’s team is a champion
@@sakibsarwar5290 because the US womens competition is trash. The US mens team plays against actually competition
Agree the woman have bein winning back to back and the men should be embarrassed to be representing the us . Congrats to all the woman who finally get equal pay is about dam time
@@sakibsarwar5290 okay that’s a better way to word it but the way the girl on first take worded it was like men overrall that’s why she had me tripping lol but yeah you right when you put it the way you put it
Didnt 16 year old dudes beat that team and they are supposed to be the best😭
Some of the things that are the real issue, the dirty little secret is that women don't really support women's sports. It's still usually upheld by men. I watch the female sports. I support it. My mother doesn't. My aunt doesn't. My neice don't either. My brother does my uncle does. They few women I do know that watch, casually ( she might watch a baseball game here and there) I might not even say that's a dedicated fan. Where is I stream or so whatever I can to watch my teams and the games I like. The uswnt is the better of the teams, but it's still the men's soccer that brings in most of the cash. Even tho they suck. It's less about gender than what really meets the eye. It's so many levels and layers. The one that gets usually left off and left out is the fact that women don't support sports as much as men. It's just how it is. And sorry to say but gotta be said. It's usually women who's not doing the heaviest lifting complaining about the load. Women should support sports more. That would easily help make the be paycheck bigger. I've brought more WNBA jerseys than all the women in my immediate family combined even some connected and extended to family. Just something to think about. Let's also make the games more accessible. Before for all the cable and TV deals and network deals. It was easy to become a fan of sports in general. Regular broadcast tv help creates fans. Everyone can spent money on cable and streaming service not matter the cost of they on a budget and low income. I was lucky to be able to watch the local WNBA games on regular tv and that's how I got into it more. Before that I didn't even think I'd be into it. They got game! 😂 😂 lol
He makes sense tho😳
That made so much sense! 🤯
And the fact that people criticize them for taking stances when the men give less effort bothers me. It is not like USWNT are nobodies, whereas you can argue the male counterparts are not as dedicated to winning or the team.
Word! I watch the women's NCAA tourney and my wife doesn't but she'll watch the Men's....the women's is just as entertaining to me
@Keith. You're 100% factually correct, but you're 110% intellectually wrong. Society and culture doesn't allow women to participate in sports, (generally speaking) it's only been the last 20 yrs that male dominated sports have included women's teams.
Because of this, there are only a few sports where the women's version has any skill level to come close to matching the men. Also because of genetics women will never match what the men can do.
The craziest part of this is that if the usmnt doesn’t agree to share their prize money from when they play in the World Cup, then this settlement goes away. It allows us soccer to blame the mens team for when this thing falls through.
U guys don't understand few things. U guys don't understand where the money comes from, also since men usually only get 4million. Split 23 players, staff coaches. They get like 200k n they donate to charity. So they don't play for the money. They make real money in their professional league. But the usa women's have no right to the world cup because it's mainly generated by Portugal Germany etc etc, not team usa
What makes you think the mens team won’t fall in line?
They shouldn't have been forced into this, it was a huge fraud by the women's team screaming for 'fair pay' while getting paid more than the men's already. (Multi-million dollar benefit package, guaranteed pay, etc. exclusive to the women's team.) The Women's team wanted every upside and no downside of the men's contract, while generating fractions of what the men's team brought in.@@Yvng.Sativa
Let these same women sue FIFA for equal pay, the men World Cup revenues is about $6 billion. the women World Cup revenues is about $150 million, judge for yourself
That’s a good one.
Equal pay in sports in general is mostly a stupid topic. Like it doesn't matter how much you think you are in entitled to get or how hard you think you work compared to someone else. The money and best payments will always be where the most viewers are, biggest sponsors and biggest tv deals. Its really that simple. I completely get that a lot of women want more money and in some cases they probably should get more. But there is a reason why 95% or more would rather watch men sports than women, its just a much better product in every aspect.
That’s too much for some people to comprehend 🤣🤣🤣
The office cubicle was invented by Robert Propst in 1968. His original design was called the Action Office System and provided “a social kind of privacy” for the worker.
This is what I hate about espn and sports networks. The hypocrisy. The wnba is played in the usa. I’ve never heard first take ever talk about the WNBA unless Candace Parker wins a chip. Never heard them talk about the USWNT unless maybe the win the World Cup. Never do they talk about any women athletes like they talk about Lebron, MJ, Kobe etc. when they talk about great athletes in USA sports they usually spare a thought for Serena Williams, but it almost feels like after thought and not a real addition to the debate. And then in these situations they start acting like they really care about equal pay in women sports? How can you claim you are advocating for equal pay when you the biggest sport network in the USA doesn’t give the same publicity to the women sports. This is embarrassing sometimes and espn themselves should take a look at their own station if they really do care about the women game. Stop paying lip service and put ur money where ur mouth is.
It is because women's sports aren't as popular. They talk about the topics that most people are interested in.
Last 30 seconds SAS told the truth that’s all it’s about 😂😂
Let’s be completely honest , no one prefers to watch women’s sports over men it is absolutely boring and I truly believe that no woman in any sport should be getting paid the same or more as a man because the talent level is so completely different and so is the revenue. Now if you’re a doctor or a lawyer you should definitely be getting the same pay but athletes NAA! no one wants to watch women’s sports except volleyball.
there is no such thing as a “pay gap”
Imagine millionaires complain they don't make as much as other millionaires. And we are somehow supposed to feel sorry for them?
@@blackpope8834 The last 10 years the women have been withing a couple million, made the same, or made more than their men counterparts, but have been paid much less. Most of the women are not millionaires.
@@zachk5652 you can’t compare a men and womens World Cup, one brings in 6 billion and one brings in 100 mil, and they got paid more than the men from 2010-16, the men get less money because it’s bonuses, they’re lucky they’re getting paid so much
@@zachk5652womens wc receive 4 mil in prize money for winning, the men generate more than that
@@rhys2091 The women made more money than the men in total because the mens alternates do not get paid, the men do not get insurance from the national team, the men do not need maternity leave, and other similar expenses. The men were able to bargain for a much more incentive based deal because of the money they make from their professional clubs. The women brought in more, about the same, or within a few million dollars as the men for the last 10 years. They did not get paid more on a game-to-game basis but got paid extremely less. Some think this is fair, some think it isn't. My thing is that the USSF has the money to take care of the women's players long term as well as short term but refuses too.
Is Stephen A not aware that they lost, rather horribly, in Court and are only getting paid because public pressure convinced US Soccer to settle even though they had already won the law suit and only had to withstand appeals?
You don’t generate enough to get paid the way you’d like. Stephen A just says whatever goes with the agenda. Brining up irrelevant points.
The more I watch the guy the more disappointed I get....it seems to me like all he cares about is popular opinion, What happened to telling the truth as it is?
You're an idiot. It takes one simple google search to prove you are wrong.
They don't bring in equal money
Our womens national team does though
In terms of US soccer I think they do maybe more or at least it’s very close
I’m happy for team USA, but this is getting out of hand. There is no such thing as getting paid less, just cause you’re a woman. It all comes down to numbers. For example, NBA players earn more than WNBA players due to the NBA bringing in more money. Same concept in the work place, men earn more cause men work more.
It’s 2022 bro what you expect 😭😭
Bro they don’t get paid the same in sports bc they don’t get watched as much and don’t create as much revenue

Stephen A, the reason it had to go to lawsuit because the women backed out of the last deal they agreed to. in 5 years we will be back saying how this very deal is unfair. again
Funny how these actually important topics gather the least interest from these reporters. US soccer is the biggest accepted scam in American sports
The USMNT is the biggest scam for sure. What is the money paying for?
Stephen A is trying to keep a straight face while expressing his "disgust"! lol

Why don't women support women sports? If half of the women attend sporting events the pay difference would close. Just look at Chicago winning the chip and no women showed up for the parade. Ask these questions.
Sas simping. Women sports is not on par to men. On every level men sports finance women sports or they will go under.
But the USWNT is the clear and obvious exception to everything. Their male counterparts make millions, and people barely watch soccer here AND the men have achieved next to nothing at all. Ever. On merit alone the USWNT deserve way more than most athletes in this country.

Well long as they bring in alot of money i have no problem
They don't and that is the problem. Add to the fact that they already get paid more than the men even though they bring in less total revenue, this was a farce.
It's going to be hard to watch the men's games now after they didn't stand up for themselves and demand that they get the revenue that they generated.
You mean thank you for lying, which was proven by Judge saying their claim had no material fact of dispute, they weren't paid less & giving a summary judgement in USSF's favor.
If we’re actually gonna have a serious conversation about this, we need to bring all the actual facts into it as well. This case isn’t a victory for anyone. The former players signed a CBA that gave womens soccer players the opportunity to compete full time. Without those roots we wouldn’t see the team we do today. It’s despicable that this fight is baseless and immensely disrespectful to the players whom have come before.
Uh u kno world cup earnings are based on how much all the men's t3am generates. That goes into a pool n split between the men's team in world cup. Females do the samething n have their own pool n they get their earnings based on the pool amount...soo how much world cup earnings has nothing to do with usa men vs usa women? Women's team contributing NOTHING for the men's pool
"Thank-You"? They were already paid more. But worse, the new precedent makes you wonder if WNBA Players will do something similar...
They are better than the guys?! Didn't they lose to an U15 all boys team😂😂😂
Woman asking for alimony. Straight up this is not equality
See "Old Guy's" post below. Doesn't surprise me in the least to see a couple of talking heads on ESPN completely misunderstanding not only the issues, but the meaning of the settlement. Perhaps Stephen A and the anchor of this segment would like to invest a few minutes of their time reading the court ruling from last fall. In a nutshell, the court said that: 1) their agreement was a result of collective bargaining and that the members voted in favor of the agreement, 2) the USWNT actually were paid more than the mens team, and 3) the collective bargaining agreement was structured as it was out of the request of the USWNT, who wanted a higher base salary in lieu of higher success compensation. So, the court ruled against them. It should be noted that this "settlement" (which is not related to litigation) results in the women being paid what US Soccer offered to pay them in the first place - that is, before they insisted on higher base salary and lower performance pay. So, again Stephen A, this isn't US Soccer not wanting equal pay. Rather, US Soccer offered the exact same contract the men negotiated, but the women turned it down. Now you can go back to ranting about things you don't understand.
Sorry but this is stupidity at its finest. Men or women. Pay needs to come from demand. Smh
You talking facts...
I owned a PIzza business for 4 years and I never thought of this angle. Collective Pizza Profit.!
Its 2022 - just have the men identify as women and have open try outs. Lol
🤦🏼♂️ it’s cringe watching them play
Have them play against the mens team, then I’ll watch and buy merch if they can compete. it’s not about being sexist, it’s all biology. Men are faster and stronger generally speaking. I strongly believe men are more skilled in soccer as well. Not all but most.
You strongly believe🤣😂. Man you funny with that emphasis
I strongly believe? Bro, the men are considerably more skilled. When you are faster, stronger and quicker it allows you to do things other people can't.
When I played on the u15 we got a chance to scrimmage them, we beat them you think they’d compete against the mens??
@@asparapee4213 yeah that’s why I was surprised you were even trying to put it that way
Imagine losing to retired players and still getting a raise
Sure there was a pay gap - and now it's even bigger. The women's team has consistently been paid _more_ than the men's team. In fact, the men's team would have been paid _more_ had _they_ had the same deal as the women. Here's the thing:
Both teams were given the choice between two deals: one risky deal with no guaranteed pay but big bonuses, and one safe deal with guaranteed pay and benefits, but low bonuses. The men's team went for the risky deal, the women's team went for the safe deal. Of course, at the time the women didn't realise just how successful they were going to be, and in retrospect they realised they would have made more money had they picked the men's deal. But it was _their own choice._ And worse still: during Covid, all games were cancelled. This meant that the men didn't get paid at all, while the women, having a deal which contained a safety net of guaranteed pay, still made millions without playing a single game. _And still_ they had the gall to complain about "unequal pay".
What have the Men won lately? That's the issue. Men are getting paid more to lose and The Women are getting paid 10X less and they are REGULARLY WINNING.

@@culturisklounge3791 The men won the Nations League and Gold Cup last year (two biggest tournaments in CONCACAF), beating Mexico in both finals.
@@culturisklounge3791 yes but these women who are winning still lose in matches to teenage boys, they are not anywhere remotely close to being as good as the men are. This is like saying men who play professional soccer in the american MLS should make as much as those who play in the English Premier League. It's an absolutely idiotic way of thinking because they arent bringing in the same revenue so where is that money coming from? Almost all women's leagues lose money because they spent good enough for people to as ctually care or watch
I would love to see the like/dislike ratio on this video hahahahah
If the women aren’t generating the same revenue as the men then how can they get paid the same as men?
Congrats 🥳 ladies
As they should.
If you are a female security guard at Starbucks and I'm a male security guard at Google. Do we seriously have to get the same pay just because we do the same job?
This is tough topic
molly out here lookin like michael jackson
The USWNT soccer is a bubble case. It's a sport that doesn't get much attention in America and also on relative terms, the women's team has been exceedingly more successful than their male counterparts, so the viewership numbers outside of FIFA events may not be that far behind. This worked out great for them, it won't go much further especially in other sports outside of maybe tennis
Stephen A has convinced me. I can only assume that he is going to be splitting his salary 50/50 will all women that come on his show. Stephen is a man of principle so I know he's already doing that.
SAS doesn’t know the difference between equity and equality
They should find for women is other countries specifically the 3rd world countries to have better access to infrastructures and logistics in order to further the women game forward therefore generate more revenues with an abundance of talent.
Gender pay gap? I’m still not sure what the argument is here. Pretty simple how this works.
Imagine lying through your teeth on national TV and not hesitating at all. Good thing Stephen A is rich. If you’re going to completely sell your integrity you might as well sell it for millions.
This is completely fair. National teams makeup a small percentage of a footballers total salary, every single men and women’s national team should have equal pay, regardless of revenue generation, because they are representing their country. For example:Pulisic doesn’t benefit from the national team in any monetary form directly, however indirectly he does benefit but US soccer are paying him peanuts. You do not put on the national team jersey for money. I am fairly certain many of the USMNT squad members would play for free.
Emmy nomination for SAS here…great acting job 😂
Let's just call it what it is they look at the numbers and realise it was cheaper to do settle
You deserve what you earn lol. Obvious shot at the WNBA.
I will say in the case of the women’s soccer team they are legitimately better than the men and have more success 😂
As far as the WNBA I just can’t see something like this happening for them and the NBA. The W just doesn’t draw nearly enough money to even justify it
Yes they are better, but they make less money. So any extra money they are being paid is coming out of the men's pot. The women get paid whether they play or not. The men do no. The women get sick benefits and other benefits. The men only get paid if they play. So guess what happened when there was a Pandemic? Guess who got paid and who did not?
They are not better than the men's team. The men's sport is just ridiculously more competitive.
How do you generate money that isn’t there?
Aaa memories a famous quote max kellerman is blacker then you Stephen a smith from your truly terrell owens
If it's about equality then what you make is what you share
