So... Female socker players bet their salaries on people wanting to watch female soccer. I don't even want to watch men's soccer. That was a really dumb bet on their part.

The thing is, while the USWNT lost their court case they still have public perception on their side (or at least the perception of dumb fucks in high places). Look at this from Crazy Joe:

Posturing? Maybe, but it shows how power can and will overrule logic anyday.

Also shoutout to this bluecheck for ignoring the contents of the report to twist about something unrelated. Also for believing that labor disputes shouldn’t be decided in court and that a professional sports dispute for performance in FIFA tournaments should be ruled by an Act of Congress relating to amateur/olympic sport. A lot of climate scientists hate this guy and with reading comprehension like his I can see why. Sadly, this is still one of the more coherent counterarguments from the dumb cunts who support them that I’ve read

Seriously, these dumb bitches...who the fuck cares about soccer? Who the fuck cares about women's soccer?
A lot of people actually cares about soccer. It's probably the most popular sport in the world. Alas, yes, not many people care about women's football for real. For what I've seen, it's either progressives who don't like men's football or people who like football but are progressive.

At least here, the whole deal of forcing support for women's football is silly. Whenever there is women's volleyball tournaments, the stadiums are full and nobody really cares for men's volleyball...

It seems in line with other tight soccer game celebrations until you realize that the score is 9-0 and then you start to understand why people fly passenger planes into skyscrapers.
LOL, those scores are even worst in hindsight. For those unfamiliar with football, the tight scores are often like this because the teams are not much different in skills. That's why it's popular, because you're seeing two teams fight hard and put up a good show. 1 or 2 goals of difference is pretty normal. Having 3 is often a disaster. 4 or more means that something wasn't right in the team (e.g. the time Argentina lost to Bolivia 6-0 was both a bad alignment from the start and high altitude of the field).

But the score differences in women's leagues are this bad because the league is pretty, pretty mediocre. USA team isn't as good as they think, it's that they're an average team playing against mediocre teams. The men's league equivalent would be Germany playing their qualifiers in the Asian league.

(That's actually the same problem USA and Mexico have and that's why Chile beat them hard few years ago)


As with a lot of SJW stuff, what they say is pre projection of their own machinations.
The "Have the confidence of a mediocre white man" quip is a good descriptor for Megan Rapinoe.
Rapinoe acts exactly like she probably envisions Cristiano acts. That's how she perceives him or successful men, that their success makes them arrogant, entitled, snobbish. There are SOME like this, obviously, but not all, only a few assholes and she's in that group.

Biden just wants to smell the hair of the Womens teams. Too bad most of them are probably Man hating Lesbians after getting beaten by 15 year old boys repeatedly.

A judge dismissed the U.S. women’s soccer team’s equal pay claim Friday, reminding them that they actually make more than the men’s team.

The U.S. women’s soccer team has been fighting for equal pay for months and sought $66 million in damages. The U.S. soccer federation argued that the women’s team was paid more overall than their male counterparts for the particular time period in dispute.

Although the women’s team claimed that was just because they played more games, Judge R. Gary Klausner disagreed. Klausner reminded the women’s team that they “both played more games and made more money than the MNT [men’s national team] per game,” the Wall Street Journal reported.

“We will never stop fighting for EQUALITY,” soccer star Megan Rapinoe tweeted after the decision.

The claim for equal pay was also dismissed because the U.S. women’s national team previously “rejected an offer to be paid under the same pay-to-play structure” as the men, according to Klausner.

“The WNT was willing to forgo higher bonuses for benefits, such as greater base compensation and the guarantee of a higher number of contracted players,” Klausner wrote according to CBS News. “Accordingly, plaintiffs cannot now retroactively deem their CBA (collective bargaining agreement) worse than the MNT (men’s national team) CBA by reference to what they would have made had they been paid under the MNT’s pay-to-play terms structure when they themselves rejected such a structure.”

The women’s team for the U.S. has won four Olympic medals and four FIFA World Cups, compared to the men’s zero wins on the same stage, CBS News reported.


The U.S. soccer federation argued that male and female players have “materially different jobs” and that a person needs more skill to compete in men’s soccer, CBS News reported.

“The overall soccer-playing ability required to compete at the senior men’s national team level is materially influenced by the level of certain physical attributes, such as speed and strength, required for the job,” the federation noted.

The U.S. team has also alleged that they have been discriminated against with various items such as money on airfare and hotels. Klausner is allowing this allegation to move forward in a trial set for June 16, the Associated Press reported.

“We are shocked and disappointed with today’s decision, but we will not give up our hard work for equal pay,” U.S. women’s soccer team spokeswoman Molly Levinson tweeted Friday. “We are confident in our case and steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that girls and women will not be valued as lesser just because of their gender.”

The team plans to appeal the decision, Today.com reported.

Rapinoe is an unrepentant cunt. She is like Suarez, minus all the weird biting incidents. Hated by everyone except the team she plays for, where she's tolerated because she produces.

How the fuck do you put on a big showy celebration when you score a meaningless goal against a team that's 5 tiers below you? Better call the local boy's academy team put that cunt back in her place.

EDIT:
Biden just wants to smell the hair of the Womens teams. Too bad most of them are probably Man hating Lesbians after getting beaten by 15 year old boys repeatedly.

Biden should be subjected to a night with Hope Solo after she's been given a case of wine in advance.

I'm not sure if she'll beat him to death or terrify him to death with that sarlacc pit she calls a vag.

I often wonder if the next step in female professional sports is going to be mandated coed teams.

That 20 percent of your team has to be women.

Course, this won't last long when the 350 lbs gorilla linebacker repeatedly mauls the 105lbs female running back.

But, it seems like the logical step to illogical idea with "sports are a human right."

If your not good enough for the product, just make the product inferior...

You got the right idea but the wrong direction.

While it is probably more lucrative to be a cog in the machine of the mens game than the star above the rest in the womens game we are already seeing the way the market is trending.

The female athletes are pretty happy in their arenas, not having debilitating injuries after their careers end.

The low tier men are entering the top teir womens sports because as we saw, a team of not fully developed teenagers can crush the cutting edge.

I've seen, it's either progressives who don't like men's football or people who like football but are progressive.

Biden's interns most likely wrote this shit and they all have no sense of optics.



Former Vice President Joe Biden tweeted his support for the U.S. women's national soccer team on Saturday.

His tweet in support of the women's team came amid allegations of sexual misconduct from former Senate staffer Tara Reade, as well as mounting pressure throughout the week to address them publicly. Biden denied the accusations Friday.

A federal judge on Friday threw out part of an equal pay lawsuit brought by the players that alleged wage discrimination on the part of the U.S. Soccer Federation.

Biden on Saturday urged the team to keep fighting and threatened to withhold funding for the World Cup if the federation doesn't provide equal pay.

"To @USWNT [the U.S. women's national team]: don’t give up this fight," the former vice president wrote. "This is not over yet. To @USSoccer [the U.S. Soccer Federation]: equal pay, now. Or else when I'm president, you can go elsewhere for World Cup funding."

Biden had been under pressure much of this past week to address Reade's allegations on the record, which he did on Friday, denying her accusations from an incident she says took place in 1993.

During a March interview with podcast host Katie Halper, Reade described the alleged incident.

"He greeted me, he remembered my name, and then we were alone. It was the strangest thing," Reade told Halper at the time. "There was no like, exchange really. He just had me up against the wall.”

She continued: “His hands were on me and underneath my clothes, and he went down my skirt and then up inside it and he penetrated me with his fingers and he was kissing me at the same time and he was saying some things to me.”

Biden "unequivocally" denied the allegations on Friday during an interview with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski on "Morning Joe."

"No, it is not true. I'm saying unequivocally it never, never happened. And it didn't -- it never happened," he said. "I don't remember any type of complaint she may have made. It was 27 years ago and I don't remember -- nor does anyone else that I'm aware of -- and the fact is that I don't remember. I don't remember any complaint ever having been made."

Biden has also recently been pressed about his past statements concerning women coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

During the confirmation to appoint now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Biden said that “believing women means taking women’s claims seriously." Biden said this week that “women have a right to be heard,” but that their claims should be investigated by the press.

“They should start off with the presumption that they’re telling the truth,” he continued.

“Then you have to look at the circumstances and the facts. And the facts, in this case, do not exist," he added, referring to Reade's allegations.

Biden denied the allegations for a second time on Al Sharpton's MSNBC program "Politics Nation" during a pre-taped interview from Friday evening that aired on Saturday.

"It's not true," he told Sharpton. "I'm saying unequivocally, it never happened. Period."

The difference between how USWNT sees themselves and their actual relevance is vast.

Women's United Soccer Association folded the year Bend It Like Beckham was released. The only reason anyone paid attention was Mia Hamm's tits.

What is it about the absence of interest that inspires women to start causes?

yep, lost 5-2. Side-note: Australia's women lost to their U15 team 7-0
And they lost to the US U17 boys 8-0 too. Fucking mind-boggling that they thought they deserved more money, it's like if I demanded that a local Little League team get the same pay as the New York Yankees.
