[in the final of the SheBelieves Cup in Frisco, Texas]

Oh darn, did I miss that again?

I was watching something much more entertaining

Not quite the SheBelieves Cup but seems like it would be more watchable.

Who cares what this attention-whore has to say except for other radical SJW clowns. She continues to turn off potential fans of the game and hurt their revenue. She is not helping their cause at all.

I would be the first to admit that women’s soccer is a lot more exciting than it was in the 1990s. But the idea of me paying $35 for a stadium seat, or some female player making 2-million a year? That’s non-existent.

All this court action will achieve is the national soccer federations all dumping support in general for women’s soccer and letting them go off on their own.

Sad. Maybe she’d like it better in China or Venezuela, if it’s so bad here.

Occasionally they show US WNT games on cable channels; they look like they’re playing in high school stadiums (you can actually see the parking lot over the fence/wall), and it looks like they are playing only in front of friends & family.

They have desperately tried to make women’s soccer “a thing” in the US, to no avail (I believe they’ve gone through three leagues already); it isn’t going to happen. US men’s soccer suffers enough as it is, and unlike the WNBA, there isn’t much revenue to share from the men’s league to keep it afloat.

What a bunch of literal bitches.
Screw you all. Paid to play a game on my dime.
Piss off, and go away, you ungrateful waste of spaces!

I believe I’ve seen as many women’s soccer matches as I have skeet surfing competitions.

“Megan Rapinoe, who led last year’s U.S. triumph in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in France”

No she didn’t. She got benched because she was injured and didn’t match-up well against the English player that she would have been responsible to defend. That would be like Tom Brady sitting out the AFC Championship Game for a minor injury and to protect him from a particularly good pass rush. If the Pats went on to win the Superbowl would he be considered as having ‘led them’?

Why is she on the National team?
No matter how good she may be, she’s just not worth it.
Kick her off the team. ...along with another anti lesbo freaks.

I wasn’t going to pay any mind to this story, but something made me click on the link to the original article. I’m glad I did. It’s a very interesting — and hilarious — story behind this stupid protest.

The USWNT has filed a $66 million gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation. The basis of their lawsuit is that the men’s national team gets paid more than the women’s team.

The Federation recently filed a set of legal documents in the case. One of the arguments they make in their defense is that the men are more skilled than the women.

THAT is what precipitated this most recent protest. LMAO. These women are going bat-sh!t crazy because they can’t face the truth.

The trannies can’t decimate this sport fast enough for me.

U.S. Soccer's lawyers just dynamited their own case with language in the most recent court filing that was so grotesquely insulting that ANY jury will find for the women. U.S. Soccer is now in the situation of groveling, necessarily, and taking the position that it's own legal filing does not represent its opinion. U.S. Soccer needs to shoot its lawyers, as well as any imbecile in management who approved the language used.

U.S. Soccer is the employer of both the men's and the women's national team players. The women win world championships. The men lose to Caribbean microstates. The women will win in the court of public opinion even without U.S. Soccer being stupidly insulting. The pay issue is complex and U.S. Soccer has a case. But they'll get their heads handed to them if they think insulting the women is a winning strategy.

You want equal pay? Get equal revenues 51% of thr population are women and they are involved with or control far more than that when it comes to spending. You want equal pay, then get them to buy your tickets and what have your games. Until then shut up.

Yes you won the World Cup, but you would also lose to top tier mens HS soccer teams. Want pay parity crest revenue parity. Until then shut
Up.

Oh treat me the same. You are being treated the same. If men drew as small of crowds as you do they would be paid just the same as you are.

Now go out and get women to buy tickets to you games, Otherwise sit your little boy looking self down.
