The difference is that the NBA still has "fuck you" money to throw at players even after subsidizing the WNBA, so men are still interested in making it a career. Soccer isn't nearly successful enough in this country to support such a large parasite. On the other hand, soccer is gay as hell, so nobody should make a career out of such faggotry anyway.
Just have the 'Open' category and watch elite women get aced in tennis by some has been coach with a beer belly. They will soon quit and do something useful.
Women don't play baseball, just softball. May have something to do with their lack of musculature to throw a ball worth a damn.
Edit: Looked into it further. Thanks to Title IX, softball was considered an equivalent to men's baseball, so all the support and infrastructure went there. Women's baseball will be even more dreadful, the domain of carpet munchers with penis envy.
And there's simps in the comments arguing that the women deserve the money because they played a few more games than the men in their regular season. They're completely refusing to acknowledge that the women did not participate in the World Cup and therefore do not deserve money from the World Cup. They're completely and shamelessly blowing past that fact entirely. "Fuck you, pay me!"
The Swedish women's team tried to make a stink of it and got baited into a horrible deal of $1000-2000 per international game depending on various conditions.
The thing is the men have bonuses for individual performance that is essentially guaranteed, along with much higher standards for overseas accommodation.
Same thing happens in the NBA. It's the only reason the WNBA has existed as long as it has.
College sports, too. Football and basketball revenue pay for all the women's sports that no one attends (and male sports like tennis, too).

Correct. The NBA itself subsidizes the WNBA out of it's own pockets.
In this case, the U.S. National Team is literally reaching into the men's pockets to pay the women. That's abhorrent.
There's a simple solution: make women play in the men's league. If they can't hack it, so sad.
It also completely eliminates the trannies in sports controversy.

Regular reminder that a chain-smoking drunkard in 203rd place beat the Williams Sisters in their prime.
I've also heard rumors that they lost a game to Jeb Bush.
Women's tennis has short skirts and tight shirts to look forward to, otherwise attendance would be even more abysmal.
That was the Kournikova era. Now they all looks like men, or worse.
I heard they're starting a women's baseball league lmao and I'm sure it'll be funded the same way.

College is college. Whatever. Women shouldn't be playing professional sports when they're done with college.
Strong and independent women
As usual. 🙄
Is this a metaphor for every woman in the workforce?
Holy shit, it's an equal split?? That's fucking hilarious. Labor theory of value in action.

The simps are not wrong. Why shouldn't the women get paid for all the losing matches they play against 14-year-old boys?
They should have to play the men's team for the money.
Women being able to marry the state is the fall of civilization.
I will only support this if they play topless.
Yeah, we all want to see Meg Rapinoe topless.
It's not about the tits, it's about sending a message.
Maybe the best use of this meme I've ever seen.
Tits or GTFO is ancient Internet wisdom.
Litterally stealing their money to hand it to people who perform at the level of 13 years old boys.
Borderline communism (gay flavored, with feminist toppings)
The men get paid a LOT more by their actual clubs. National team pay is pocket change by comparison.
FTFY. I'm often surprised at just how stupid our world is, but I doubt any other country is like this.
