Today, Joe Biden allowed Megan Rapinoe, a female soccer player, to use the White House for two of her favorite purposes: (1) whining about not being paid enough and (2) calling attention to herself.
Rapinoe, a radical feminist, is leading the crusade for “equal pay” for women soccer players. At the White House, she made it personal, declaring that, by being paid less than players on the men’s national soccer team, she has been “devalued, disrespected, and dismissed because I am a woman.”
Nonsense. Rapinoe certainly has not been dismissed. The limelight shines on her constantly. Today’s appearance at the White House is only the latest example.
If Rapinoe has been “devalued,” it’s not because she’s a woman. Rather, it’s because people just aren’t that interested in women’s soccer.
It’s easy to understand why. As many Power Line readers know, I’m a rabid soccer fan. But women’s soccer leaves me indifferent.
I’ve probably told the story about attending a soccer doubleheader during the 1996 Olympics. The first game was between the women’s teams of Brazil and Norway, both then among the top five in the world. The second was between South Korea and Ghana, both probably ranked somewhere between 25 and 30 at the time.
Watching the second game, I couldn’t believe how fast Ghana and South Korea were playing. I had never seen anything like it, or so it seemed.

Match her up with a transgender soccer player.
She is also a very miserable, unhappy, lonely person.
She”s a woman????
Who knew!!!
I am female and whether a female athlete is as overpaid as her male counterpart makes not a whit of difference to my life.
Megan Rapinoe is an angry hater. That’s pretty common for Daughters of Sappho.
How comparable are the audience sizes of women’s and men’s games?
Wonder if she should learn to code instead of playing soccer?
And then she could get equal pay.
Huge difference between men and women sports are the case. If Megan plays with the men and can make it there, she would be paid like them!
Or use Biden solution. Let men play women sports. That will improve the women sports immensely. Maybe Megan will still make it then?!
Hey, Rapinho, how much do high school soccer players make? If you can’t beat them, you don’t deserve more pay than them.
She wants to be influential?
Let her run for orifice.
She wouldn't survive her first pubic rally.
I get a kick out of these lesbians thinking that they can operate a straight forward thought process where they think their very existence justifies control of the hetero sexual super majority.
If she wants to plank her panties down on the barrel head and play poke her, may the best man win.
Meanwhile Biden does what he is told, even the crazy lez crowd has him by the short hairs.
You want to make sure that girls are forced to compete with boys, so that only the lesbians get to be competitive when they are on testosterone and steroid therapy?
Good Luck! People will just stop paying their school taxes or alternately take over every school board in the country.
The country won't take this laying down.
Even the lez beans will wonder why they use tongue and groove lumber by the time the country finishes with them.
The only think longer than Rapinoe's ignorance is her tongue, an organ easily dodged even by old doddering President Biden.
She can take here lime purple hair and use it as a cue tip for the nearest elephants rectal cavity.Its her only hope.
During Winter Olympics a while ago, I randomly turned on TV without the sound. I see somebody playing Ice Hockey. They are all dressed up, you cannot really recognize them.
It was very bad! I looked on for a while, and wondered what high school teams could be playing. Then I realized, it was the Olympic women final!
Therein lies the rub. Men’s soccer has a larger audience, thus larger revenue. However, if you compare percentages of salaries, the women’s teams receive a much larger share,
Part of the disparity you point out can be attributed to the role of fixed costs.
