Megan Rapinoe Just Destroyed Her Own 'Equal Pay' Argument, & It's All Thanks to Capitalism
The U.S. men’s national soccer team earns more than the women’s team for a number of reasons.
They attract more people to games, therefore generating higher revenue via sponsorships.
It has nothing to do with winning. It’s all about the Benjamin’s.
LOOK:
Last year, the men's World Cup generated $6 billion, and gave about 7 percent to the teams. The 2019 Women's World Cup made $131 million, and gave out more than 20 percent to the teams.https://t.co/NZU2triUhb

So, pretty much the entire counter argument that people have been saying in regards to their fight for equal pay?

College students love socialism because their professors tell them to. It’s that simple.
Of course, what said professors neglect to mention is that socialism means everyone fails equally and nobody is allowed to get ahead in life.
In the video below, some college kids say they view socialism more favorably than capitalism.
And yet, when it comes to the prospect of redistributing their GPA to fellow students who don’t perform as well…they are not so thrilled.
One student noted, “I’m all for helping, but I wouldn’t give some of my points… I’ve lost a lot of sleep so I don’t know if that would be fair. I like, study all day for my grades.“
Clearly, there is some hypocrisy at play here. Also, there’s a lack of understanding of what socialism truly means.

FACEPALM.
If only these kids knew how silly they sound, huh?
