FIFA, world football’s governing body, rejected recent bids for the television rights to the 2023 Women’s World Cup as too low and challenged broadcasters to offer better value. “This is not a case of being priced out, but rather testament to a lack of willingness of broadcasters to pay what the women’s game deserves,” Romy Gai, FIFA’s chief partnerships and media officer, said in an interview.

Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon.

Where are all the feminists? Youd think there would be tens of millions of women watching and supporting women's sports.

Bill Burr nailed it.

Last weekend a single college football game between two neighboring states had better viewing numbers.

Really puts things into perspective.

Still think it was a disgrace to have it in canada on plastic fields.

The kardashians are billionaires, that’s what women watch. They watch the Bravo shows.

That was a UEFA final.

1.12 Billion (I doubt that seriously) is what they claim for the last WC final.

But... this one is in Australia and New Zealand so TV times are going to suck for most countries that would tune in.

Only a small percentage of women actually enjoy watching sports and why would they use up their time watching an inferior product?

I was unaware people "deserved" to be paid to play a game.
I think women's rowing deserves to be paid more: it costs more to field a team buying rowboats and shite instead of just a few soccer balls.

It's literally the advertisers who determine what the game deserves to be paid. The game does not carry the value. Sorry, white knights.

Or maybe the advertisers will not pay higher rates because the audience numbers suck.

Why won’t women watch and support women’s sports instead of lifetime movies and house flipping shows? Damn bigots.
