- Canadian women's soccer players Christine Sinclair and Janine Beckie spoke about what they called unfair treatment and unequal pay compared to the men’s national team.
Beckie discussed Canada Soccer's decision to release details of the proposed labour deal with the national team just hours ahead of some of its members testifying before the House of Commons heritage committee. She said the players felt they were disrespected by Canada Soccer releasing the details that afternoon instead of keeping it between the governing body and the teams.
Sinclair said that while they would prefer to be playing on the soccer pitch, they are proud to be testifying in an effort to make soccer better for the next generations.

Global news doing a hit piece on fox...Tucker is definitely over the target.
This entire situation in a nutshell:
They want to be subsidized even more because they can't break even on their own.
Exactly.
Breaking even is not their job. Their job is to play for their country Canada - and they are doing great. They deserve a good pay for it, justified by supporting your Country's prestige and supporting children's sports.
Otherwise, Canada will loose what it has
Yet Canada pays for a thousand athletes all year round for Olympic qualifying, many of those are nowhere near even top 50 in the world , yet we skimp on the Olympic champs in a sport the world thinks extremely high of? Yep the execs are making huge dollars, 11,000$ suits , and lets give cheese to the ones making you the money?? Great job Canada, pay the fat, skimp the steak.
@@joedoggie9098different associations for different sports. Think a little.
Not even women watch women’s soccer
If you don't bring in the same profit why would you get the same pay. What a joke.
It is a sport, like many sports, based on revenue, revenue from sports come mostly from sponsorship, selling of tickets, and merchandise. Depending on the revenue the team makes, will mostly determine how much the club is able to afford what the club can spend, weather its a male or womens sport. SO the more revenue the club brings in the more the club can invest in their own club including athletes wages and support Simple. In reality, mens soccer, and maybe in many other sports, are watched much more.
Country's prestige is not always measured in revenue. And they won Olympic Gold
@@val4803Lots of athletes have won Gold medals at the Olympics and many of them don’t make a lot of money. The discussion isn’t around a country’s prestige, it’s about pay equality. Exactly what does that mean? Should they be earning more than the men based off of revenue? Is that equality? Check out the NCAA. The women and men both get over 1 billion each in scholarships despite the women generating a fraction of what the men generate. Is this the equality the soccer ladies want? Doesn’t look equal to me.
NCAA Men’s vs Women’s Basketball: Revenue, Scholarships, Attendance and Ratings
Men’s NCAA Basketball
Revenue $933 million
Scholarships $1 billion
Attendance 4,659 per game
Ratings 10.5 million
Women’s NCAA Basketball.
Revenue $266,183
Scholarships $1 billion
Attendance 1625 per game
Ratings 3.6 million
Are they bringing in as much revenue?
Shhh communism is coming
Who watches Womens soccer?
not even women lol
Millions of Canadians.
@@Raptor1867 ....flying drones and cheating
@@VLADtheINHALERr Not the players fault buddy. Blame useless coaching staff who I hope get fired from ever coaching another soccer game.
@@Raptor1867 ...the players knew about the drone cheating...but they're not brave enough to admit to it...Canadian Womens Soccer are a Global embarrassment and their past medals should be returned to the teams that didn't cheat
What a complete disgrace this team is, cheating before Olympics even started. The entire team should be disqualified and sent home. The entitlement is astounding, especially Janine Beckie complaining about their free hotels not being “up to their personal standards” forcing soccer Canada to take money from the men’s sponsorship money and split it with them when they can’t even sell tickets and fill seats on a regular basis? Completely shameful and disgusting.
I think we should implement a mandatory economics and common sense course before graduating HS
Especially for feminists
Hey, somebody give me more details if I'm off, but this headline seems to me to be saying "How dare they release the facts before we can get our narrative out there...".
You're assuming that that which was released, at the last minute, is accurate in all respects. The players don't know that, because Soccer Canada has never been forthcoming, according the players, with respect to the finances. It's been a big secret.
BC just passed a new law, making "pay transparency" be made public to address the gender pay gap.
These people don't get to have it both ways.
They will find out women make more
@@johntitorii6676 they would also have to pay women an extra 32 cents on the dollar to fix the wage gap. They never use hours worked in the calculations to push the agenda.
They will need to pay people to watch
I know who Sinclair is. I couldn't tell you the names of any of the men's team.
@@raynwolfsbane2084 sorry to hear that
@@saxonthegermanshepherd2809
ROFL.
@@raynwolfsbane2084 so you're impressed with, and interested in, athletes that perform like children, but not impressed by athletes that compete against the world elite
Yay. Go you. 😬
Congrats 👏
*feminists posting their Ls*
Not many people want to watch women’s soccer. It’s just not that exciting.
A lot of simps at this hearing.
Because women's sports = high-school boys' sports. At least with high-school boys' sports, you don't have to pay to watch it.
Am I missing something here? They're there to complain about the pay structure, and they're mad Soccer Canada released the proposal publicly before the hearing? To me that only makes sense from Soccer Canada's perspective, that way it would be harder for people testifying to misrepresent what is being offered.
I am sick and tired of people looking for handouts. Earn your money Christine! Elephant in the room….. on a large scale nobody cares about women’s soccer!
And women's soccer is subsidized by men's soccer.
Let’s talk about how women gymnastics make more money than the men 😉
Equal pay for male fashion models
@@saxonthegermanshepherd2809 ,,
T @ A brings the viewers and the viewers bring in the sponsorships
The catastrophic issue is that women don't watch sports as faithfully as men do. Fewer viewers and attendees means less cash and fewer sponsorships, partnerships and marketing opportunities. Reduced ticket and swag sales are an expected outcome.
For years, Canada Soccer has been earning from our women’s team! In fact, I, myself watched all their games in Canada. For a year, I travelled just to support our CanWNT. I even bought stuff online regularly believing it could help in small ways our women’s team, so, I don’t understand why Canada Soccer is doing this! Where is the money?!
Idoicracy
Start a go fund me or even better a bake sale.
😂
Doing more with less …..
sounds like you started with too much
Provide a product that spectators and sponsors will pay for. Until then just go away and get a real job.
Your suggestions notwithstanding, spectators do attend their games, and sponsors do make financial commitments throught Canada Soccer, to say nothing of the membership dues that flow to Canada Soccer. What Canada Soccer has not been willing to disclose is what those numbers are.
@@mpare49 If they are equal to the men's league, then the pay should be equal. If not...we are done here.
@@mpare49 the problem is that isn't enough to break even.
The cold hard truth is that the Canadian Women's team is not self- sufficient. They need to have a stable flow of income that should be coming from their fans, not their subsidiaries. Right now the women's team is in an unfortunate position and have to essentially ask for even more funds from their sponsors.
Its kind of like throwing your money into a fire; the fire grows but you don't get your money back.
The fact of the matter is YOU KICK A BALL for a living
I mean......seriously. Canada cant even win a Stanley Cup and we're investing in sports we literally have zero chance of ever winning.
They literally won the Olympics but go off I guess
As someone already pointed out, they won the Gold. More importantly, though, the women's team in general, and Christine Sinclair in particular, has contributed to the spectacular rise in soccer participation in this country. That is of benefit to both the individuals who are playing and to the country at large.
@@mpare49 at the end of the day it doesn't matter if they can't attract enough fans to break even...now they're essentially relying on being subsidized to even operate.
It sucks but we can't subsidize them forever; the women's team need to be self sufficient.
And hockey players push a ball with a stick for a living, basketball players throw a ball for a living etc etc. lol if you put it this way.. then every sport is meaningless.
@@goodfortune4317 yeah, but the average fan is actually impressed by those- the avg fan is not impressed watching athletes that perform at the level of schoolchildren, compete
My beer league team has seen great success this year. I'd like as much money as an NHL player thanks *holds out hands*
christine sinclair is only christine sinclair there will never be a skilled important player like her 20+ or + 30 45+ years from now !!!
This has nothing to do with the sexual orientations of most of the players.
My beer league hockey team doesn't make as much as the NHL players, when should we start to protest?
To be fair, you're not representing your nation - nor are you qualified to play nationally in the women's league.
If an association says you're good enough to represent your country...maybe they should get the financial support to make good on that?
@@TetrisToastyRevenue based income.
My dear soccer ppl, it is imperative that equality be a part of the sporting fraternity between men and
...............SQUIRREL
Canada's National Women's soccer team - losing fans by the hour.
Superior team in an inferior league.
@@shauncameron8390 😂
More like a mixed gender team
Christine Sinclair is the leading international goalscorer, more than Cristiano Ronaldo. So with there way of thinking, shouldn’t she earn more than Ronaldo did with Al Nassar? Why doesn’t she demand Portland Thorns pay her $200 million a year? All things being equal.
Because if she were to put her skills to the test in the men's league, she wouldn't last or be worth a fraction of that $200 000 000 contract.
@@shauncameron8390 if they're as bad as the USWNT they'd be regularly trounced by Grade 8s lol
Mens leagues make more money annually so they can afford to pay their athletes more. Woman’s makes less. I’m all for women getting paid the same IF the money is there, but realistically it’s not. For example with hockey You can’t ask to make the same as let’s say Connor Mcdavid is where his league make billions a year if your league is only making millions. Common sense.
Facts, they're honestly just begging to get more funding at this point because they failed to break even by themselves this year again.
common sense to me as well as having actual facts, not opinions is one team is a Gold Medal Olympic champion, while the other team embarrassed Canada at the world Cup and finished LAST.
Respect thier authority's
Looool
Women’s sports have all of my respect.
Sports are entertainment. Entertainers get paid by the people who buy tickets and by how many buy tickets. By this logic I should make Madonna money to play in front of 16 people in a stadium. Should the lingerie football league player get paid like NFLers? Or like strippers?
lol, than maybe answer this, how many GOLD MEDAL winners from any country you choose, have to beg for money while the execs are millionaires and wear 11000$ suits? Ill wait.
The women’s Canadian soccer players deserve to be pay accordingly they have brought soccer to a different level in Canada
😂 for who?
Soccer isn’t a gender specific skill.
So why would any girl watch Christine Sinclair over Lionel Messi …. Or 10000 other more skilled footballer players .
Ex. I’m white , so I can only have white role models to look up to?
yes a new low. 👍
Let’s see the men’s team play the women’s team, no holding back anything. I would bet the men’s team would win by a landslide. So then why would the women expect equality for an inferior product? If I am a paying fan going to see a game , I want to see the best of the best. Women’s sports in general is boring and very amateur.
Name one men's team player that anyone would recognize if they saw them on the street
And this has what to do with the discussion at hand, except demonstrating a remarkably chauvinistic attitude? More to the point, though, when was the last time that the men's team won an Olympic gold medal?
@@raynwolfsbane2084 I wouldn’t recognize any Canadian players of any of their many genders, non binary and whatevers.
@@mpare49 well, that’s your narrow minded opinion on the matter. Women vs men pound for pound aren’t as good, so why should they get equal money?
@@mpare49 has got to do with revenue coming in not medals Mary
Well done Ladies. It’s disgusting how Canada Soccer has treated you.
