In 2018, the men’s World Cup generated $6 billion, from which their organizing body distributed 7 percent to the teams.
The 2019, the women’s World Cup generated $131 million, from which their organizing body gave 20 percent to the teams.I'm really not interested in millionaires quibbling about the largess they receive when I'm trying to figure out how to make my $44,000 of annual net income work in Connecticut, but when they and their media/political buds decide it’s the moral issue of the day and expect me to take a side, I like to do a little ciphering.
Also, people get paid to play...soccer?
