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.

Those advocating for these players without looking it up, name the players and their team.
My beer league hockey team doesn't make as much as the NHL players, when should we start to protest?
From the start beginning of mankind on this planet man has been above women in general of society and women rights Will never be equal like men, but we have to do our best as far as we can and it Will take untill this planet last day?
The women’s Canadian soccer players deserve to be pay accordingly they have brought soccer to a different level in Canada
Start a go fund me or even better a bake sale.
There are many many sports, where the athletes have to pay, work hard to make it to venues. But there is NO sports more entitled that women's soccer or women's basketball.
You bring in NO fans, yet you want pay checks like the men. Get real you arrogant, entitled pratts. When the best national women's teams can be beaten by high school boys teams, you are not good! Now STFU!
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.
Canada is a ruin;
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!
woman sports don't draw crowds.. therefore they don't make MONEY!
My beer league team has seen great success this year. I'd like as much money as an NHL player thanks holds out hands
Not many people want to watch women’s soccer. It’s just not that exciting.
A lot of simps at this hearing.
Doing more with less …..
sounds like you started with too much
Disband the entire league. It makes no money. They think they should get paid when their sport brings in NOTHING. nobody wants to watch you play soccer. Cause you're trash at it. If you want to play for a Hobby. Fine. But they definitely don't deserve any money
Idoicracy
Respect thier authority's
Define that term women please ??? . Bill Burr sums this up
Perfectly. It’s women’s fault for not showing up to support other women. To busy trying to destroy each other.
This entire situation in a nutshell:
They want to be subsidized even more because they can't break even on their own.
Women soccer players will get paid the same as men soccer players on the exact same day that Men on|yfans creators are paid the same as Women on|yfans creators. It shouldn't matter how big the audience is/how many dollars are brought in… No, in the minds of the Women soccer players, it only matters that Women are paid the same as the Men players at the end of the day, regardless of revenue generation.
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.
My country is burning to the ground, but with no flames. The WEF have penetrated the Canadian government at the highest levels. They are taking our freedoms away. Russia must win against the West if we want to give this planet hope of a peaceful life.!!!!!
Well done Ladies. It’s disgusting how Canada Soccer has treated you.
Yep almost like they don't bring in even a decent fraction of what the men do, and therefore don't get paid as well. Not to mention the fact that they aren't nearly as skilled or physically talented. Lets have the women play the men, for all the marbles, so to speak.
Canada's National Women's soccer team – losing fans by the hour.
This has nothing to do with the sexual orientations of most of the players.
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?
Are they bringing in as much revenue?
Womens sports are gonna have a bigger problem when they have trans men beating the real women
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.
Who watches Womens soccer?
Let’s talk about how women gymnastics make more money than the men ?
Women whining about pay equity….desperately trying to defy the reality of market conditions, like the instinctually disenfranchised and intellectually disinherited who will now identify as men to get what is 'owed ' to them.
Not even women watch women’s soccer
Global news doing a hit piece on fox…Tucker is definitely over the target.
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…".
Provide a product that spectators and sponsors will pay for. Until then just go away and get a real job.
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 will need to pay people to watch
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.
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.
If you don't bring in the same profit why would you get the same pay. What a joke.
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.
Looool
