That’s my thought too. Man up and hit the bricks. I think team captain nigel rapinoe already has sacked up. But not hit the bricks.

Well perhaps you are right. I’m not here to defend the article by Jazz Shaw on Hotair - just reporting what I read. In any even I’m not defending woman’s soccer at all. If find all soccer as boring as watching paint dry.

I’m all in for paying Congresscritters the $15 dollar an hour “living wage”.

Maximum.

I mean, the Dems are SO big on that, after all...

Hey Joe is the BORDER CRISIS over?

A PERFECT example of how the SWAMP works.

I now find baseball as boring as watching paint dry. After playing it and being a big fan as kid. I do find the growing Hispanization of baseball amusing after hearing for years about how “foreign” a sport soccer is.

Soccer has non stop action for two hours and the national/international aspect is fun, too. To each his own I suppose.

I find baseball boring as well on TV - it seems more exciting when you are there. About the only sports I watch on TV now are NFL football and MMA fighting.

Because Lord knows there is nothing more pressing for the Senate to be dealing with right now.

Manchin usually has better sense that this. Someone got something on him?

All the legislation in the world will not make men and wymen soccer teams equal.

"socialism, when government uses it’s power and money to attempt to create equal desired outcomes." Fixed it for you! :-)

He is making up for his daughter screwing allergy patients.

That’s false. No idea where you are getting that idea. The US mens World Cup match against Portugal had 24 million viewers. Well overf twice the viewers of the ladies recent match against Holland. And I’m sure you’ll recall in that Portugal match the US was “competitive” with a team that has one of the greatest players to ever play the game in Ronaldo.
________________________________________

I remember that game from 2014 Brazil World Cup. It was a group stage game.
US was leading 2-1. Then Portugal scored the equalizer with
an assist from Ronaldo. The final score was 2-2.

2014 USMNT did not have any player who was annoying...I had no problem supporting that team.

The women's games have also garnered higher ratings and more revenue in recent years.

Huh? I'm confused. If the women bring in more revenue, and receive a bigger percentage of the revenue, how are they making less $$ than the men's team?
