P&G has it in for Trump, in part because of the admin’s sanctions on Iran. Which P&G has done biz in and would like to do again, in spite of Iran’s execrable women’s rights record.

What makes Joe Piscopo an expert on the business side of women’s soccer? Oh, sorry. I forgot. If you’re in the entertainment industry, you’re an expert on literally everything.

IIRC some “feminine wash” company just chipped in $20,000...and a year's supply of their product.

Meh. Their money. Let them waste it any way they want. I hope the stockholders give the board an earful.

Secret deodorant can’t cover up the stench caused by the actions of these ingrates.

The women’s cup players earned more winnings that the men’s cup players.

But women’s soccer earns less than men’s soccer because no one watches the women.

So this clown is righting a make believe wrong to virtue signal and sell more of his stinky “deodorant”.

If they wore bikinis and played volleyball on the beach, I’d watch. Otherwise, not.

"The women simply do not generate the revenue that the men do."

In the US, which is all that really matters, from 2016 to 2018, women's games generated about $50.8 million in revenue compared with $49.9 million for the men. The women are not paid as much because their collective bargaining representatives negotiated a shitty agreement for them.

Let them hire better negotiators.

" P&G the Nike of personal products. Just a horrible pack of radical leftists."

I doubt P&G has always been this way. My thinking is that over the years big companies like this hired these leftist kooks based on their supposed higher education credentials. Now the big corporations are infested with this kooks just like government. The only cure is to bury them in the market.

The men made less because they failed to qualify for the world cup for the first time in nearly 30 years. With an expanded field of teams starting in 2026 that is just about guaranteed to never happen again.

This is very true, however, my main point was that the women hired idiots for collective bargaining representatives. They deserve to get paid what they negotiated.

If I identify as a female of color soccer player, can I get a share of that?

“Now the big corporations are infested with this kook“

True no doubt. Which explains why they capitulate every time an offended leftist fringe group calls for a sponsoring boycott. It doesn’t help that ad agencies are run by poofters and Radical Feminists.

the women’s team has always been paid less because they get far less advertising dollars.

Including from P&G that demanded to pay less because female soccer is worth less.
