The controversial topic of the men and women's salary for US Soccer has been ongoing for years. Whether you believe it should be equal or not, here are five reasons why I personally think the salary between the two sexes should be equal. Check it out and give it a share!

1. World Cup Victories

The U.S. women’s national soccer team won the World Cup title in 2015 — an achievement never equaled by a U.S. men’s team. Top men’s players earned almost twice as much as top women’s players.

2. World Cup

During their respective World Cup years, despite the women’s victory in 2015 and the men’s early knockout elimination in 2014, there was still a huge difference in pay.

3. Field privileges

On top of the specific financial gaps, the women are unable to identify the field surface they play on while the men get the best of the best offered.

4. Revenue

In the year 2015, the women's team brought in more revenue than men's. Although it hasn't always been like this, they are projected to keep up the revenue this season.

5. The women's team has played in more games to qualify than the men's.

Seventy-five percent of that compensation, both last year and over those eight years, is directly related to winning championships. In other words, the women's team has had to beat the world-record level just to keep equal level financially between the team. Also, their victory tour money they earned was only given to them if they played extra games.
