Made history ? They only beat other women . If they want equal pay let those cry babies beat a bunch of men
Corporate virtue signaling, what a worthless gesture.
Strong enough for a white devil oppressor, but made for a womyn?
/yes, sarc.
oh fer gawd sake
They want equal pay?
Play against the men. I guarantee, even if they lose, they will have huge paydays.
But they won’t.
The main problem with Women’s Soccer is Demand. I don’t see an increase of spectators, thereby an increase in revenue coming anytime, especially now.
Moral of the Story: Shut up and perform. Don’t tick off half of your potential audience. (ala Michael Jordan - Dolly Parton School of Entertainers)
SECRET - STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN
but only used by pussies who whine and can’t beat kids in junior high school
Just more proof they can’t earn the money themselves.
You are entertainers.
You are paid in direct proportion to the draw of audiences.
Men and women who participate in World Cup every four years are professional athletes who are being paid a salary to participate in the sport they love. Many make millions of dollars in endorsements as well.
Other than expenses, why are they paid at all to play in the World Cup? Take away the reimbursement and how many would volunteer to represent their country? It’s not about representing the United States. It’s about rich athletes getting paid to represent themselves. Solve the so-called pay gap by not paying women or men anything to play World Cup.
I know this will never happen, but there is your solution.
Market forces should dictate wages. The women simply do not generate the revenue that the men do. To be paid on par with the men, the soccer enterprise would lose money, unless it was subsidized. If it was subsidized, it would then draw money from some other, potentially productive activity. Not exactly the best way to run an efficient economy.
P&G the Nike of personal products. Just a horrible pack of radical leftists.
Good for them. If they want to donate some of the profits they make from selling women’s products to a woman’s soccer team, go for it.
But women would be better served if P&G would stop charging more for women’s products than they charge for comparable men’s products.
Just sayin’.
Not athletes but buggers on a street corner pounding their tin cups on the concrete.
womens soccer finally found a fan. Perhaps they can show womens basketball how it is done
History making win?
The fake news media is trying to turn this into a replay of the 1980 Olympics Miracle on Ice win by the underdog USA Hockey Team over the Russians.
Total pant load.
The US woman’s soccer team is a bunch of pampered pros who are anything but underdogs on the world scene. They are the perennial winners who dominate women’s soccer every bit as much as the Soviet Russians used to dominate international hockey competition during the Cold War, and, ironically, for pretty much the same reasons.
The Patriarchy wins again; equal pay achieved by artificially elevating the results of natural selection: doing for those who cannot do for themselves. Run along now.
