Power Hour 2017
By: Chelsea Wagner
My Main Question
The part of it that is unfair!
The topic of men and women’s sport salary can be argued either way.
The total prize pool for the 2015 women’s world cup was $15 million dollars and if you think that’s a lot the total prize pool for the men’s world cup was $576 million!
The women took home $2 million for winning the whole thing and for the men they got $9 million for getting kicked out in the 16th round!
What the US women's team has done for US soccer
Claim: The woman’s US national team is better than the men’s US national team.
Evidence: Carly Lloyd scored 3 goals in the first 15 minutes of the World Cup Finals. Her last goal was scored from mid-field!
My Point: The US women’s team has represented the US soccer world much better than the men’s team. The men are loosing most of their games and the women are winning almost all of them! The US men’s team wasn’t even in the last Olympics.
What the US men's team has done for US soccer
Why the women should get payed more or the same as men
Evidence
Men's Salary- $500,000-$10,000,000
A quote from Carli Lloyd
Examples
Clint Dempsy
Michel Bradley
Tim Howard
Alex Morgan
Carli Lloyd
Abby Wambach
Abby also scored more goals than any man in professional soccer history and still got payed that much money, she retired after the 2015 world cup game and went down as a legend.
