so these posts are just flatly chauvinistic and bad.  why are you conflating the idea of national teams with making money?  are you implying that we as a public use tax dollars to fund Olympic sports as a way to make money?  whatever some independent sports body decides is the prize for hosting a tournament should have no bearing whatsoever on our commitment to athletes that are good enough to represent our country in these highly visible events.  there is ZERO correlation between how professional sports leagues like the NBA or WNBA should compensate their players compared to how national teams to should be funded and how the players should be paid regardless of sex, assuming that there is a equally arduous commitment made by either, arguably more arduous on the women's side because they are actually good.  there is no good faith argument to be made on behalf of citing FIFA payouts as a reason for how American athletes should be compensated for their service.
