That’s just not true as they regularly put games on Steam or the Epic store though.
You can get Halo & Forza on Steam.

Technically a judge has not struck it down. A judge had put a stay on it while a lawsuit proceeds
Separate from that, is this story, in which the state Agriculture dept found that the NYC law violated state law, which has supremacy
So it looks dead at the moment either way, but a judge may also strike it down as well.

Most of the US team plays in Europe making millions a year playing in the top leagues.

The prize money from tournaments is so inconsequential to most men's players that a lot of them simply donate it charity or give it to their federations.
And actually as it's been pointed out elsewhere in this thread, the dudes are actually taking home a bigger piece of the pie than they did before. Previously, most of that money would just go into the pockets of US Soccer. So they're making more and also giving more to the women's team.
This is also not to mention that they'll also take home prize money if the women win as well, something that was not the case before.
The prize money here would make up something like 3% of Pulisic's yearly salary. I doubt he's feeling very "fleeced."

You really ought to read the story you are commenting on.
>Revenue and profit aren’t the same.
This is prize money from the tournament. US Soccer is non profit who is mostly funded via sponsorships, ticket sales and broadcast rights. They aren't funded through prize money.
>If one lowly level match
This is prize money for qualifying from the group stage. Not one match.
>can surpass everyone the other club made in two world cups then this is lopsided.
Again, it simply due to difference in prize money that FIFA awards federations. That is not something US Soccer decides.

Well no, they wouldn’t be getting any FIFA prize money which is what this article is referring to.

First, this article is about the split of FIFA prize money. It’s not about a split of revenue that US Soccer earns from things like sponsorships, ticket sales or broadcast rights (which are always sold as a package anyway).
So it’s entirely about how the federation decides to split prize money from the men’s and women’s World Cup.
For the vast majority of the players on the men’s team, who play pro soccer in Europe, the fifa prize money is a pittance. So it would make perfect sense for them to share that with their female counterparts, who don’t have the ability to earn that at the club level.
In some other countries, the men straight up donate their nat’l team salaries to charity. England players haven’t kept their wages for years.
So no men’s player is really going to see this as “unfair.” I’m sure they’re just as happy to see it go to their USWNT colleagues as anywhere else.

Pulisic alone makes around $8.5M per year. So his World Cup prize money of $300k is nothing.

The USWNT team is actually a profitable enterprise. People go to their matches, broadcasters pay to show the game, sponsors pay to be associated with them. They do make money.
This is not about that. This is about the split of FIFA prize money. It’s not about the commercials of US Soccer revenue really.

People aren’t being put in prison because someone is scared of being attacked, it’s because they literally were attacked.
And sure, you need to educate young people on abuse. That’s a fine idea. But how does it help someone being literally abused right now?
