Ridicule as a weapon. I remember soccer: In April 2017, a scoreline involving the USWNT (United States Women’s National Team) sent shockwaves through the sports world: a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the FC Dallas Under-15 boys academy team. Occurring during a training camp in Dallas, Texas, the match was intended as an informal “tune-up” ahead of international friendlies against Russia. While the result was widely circulated as a sign of weakness by critics, soccer analysts and team veterans like Carli Lloyd have since clarified the specific tactical goals of the session.

Clay Travis is no Rush Limbaugh.
He’s not even half a Rush Limbaugh.
