Canadian Soccer players are on strike and won't play tonight
Canada Soccer only wants to pay them 10% of world cup money
10% seems unbelievably low

Not quite
“At no time has Canada Soccer presented a proposal for 10 per cent of the FIFA World Cup prize money,” Canada Soccer said. “Nor, has the Association received a proposal from the Men's National Team for 40 per cent of the prize money. To be clear, the Men's National Team demand was for 75-100 per cent of the World Cup prize money. The Association, in an effort to adhere to the principle of pay equity, proposed 60 per cent of the FIFA World Cup prize money to be split between the two National Teams (i.e., 30 per cent + 30 per cent to the players of each team) and 40 per cent for the Association. The Association believes that this proposal follows the principles of fairness and equity.”
this seems pretty reasonable and more likely
