Barcelona puts women's team in economy while men fly up front

[wehateporn]

The first mixed-sex tour in Barcelona football club's history has run afoul of women's team fans - after it emerged only the men flew in business class.

The club posted glossy promotional video of the men's and women's teams boarding their US-bound plane together.

But on board, after a photo op, the women were nowhere to be seen in the rest of the video.

Photos posted to the female players' Instagram accounts, however, showed their team flying in economy.

The division was spotted by eagle-eyed supporters of the women's team, who asked why the men - some of whom were from the "B team" as top-rated players were resting after the World Cup - got preferential treatment.

Nobody watches womens soccer. Nobody cares for it. It is appalling to watch. It doesn't generate even 1% of male soccer revenue. Yet they demand the same treatment. Attention whore outrage logic 2018.

Seems like the free market goes out the window with this stuff, but if it were the other way around no problem. They should be grateful just to be on the plane at all

Not much room for logic and reason these days

They were fine about it they didn't complain, but for the sake of $50k it would have made a good #equality hashtag.

Barca like to claim they are somehow better than other clubs.. They could have milked it.

And as they were going to the US, they probably sell more womens shirts, than mens over there.
