Did ya actually buy the US Soccer Federation's rationale?

For one, it didn't factor in the sponsorships that the US men get. And for another, the US Fed is counting the women's pro league wages and grass-roots investments for the women - which have not to do with being in the national team (non-national team players get those money too)
