"Ultimately, we are doing the same job as the men, but I understand that we're not filling out stadiums.

How hard is it to understand that the principle of equal pay for equal work does NOT apply to sports?

Equal? If you attract more people (=> ticket buyers, subscribers, merchandise buyers, advertise viewers; all these kinds of revenues etc. pp.) and thus generate more income, then it is simply a difference.
Hence, it also does apply for sport. The "work" is just not only to win the games or competitions, but also to win over a crowd of paying customers - in the millions, if not billions one day. And it is the Premier League or the NFL that generates these revenues.

They pay has to be in a certain relation to the generated revenues.
