Perhaps those clowns should focus on soccer and stop trying to figure out different ways to protest.

I certainly am. They had it coming.You’re celebrating our soccer team losing?
as someone said in a previous thread. they made their bed...You’re celebrating our soccer team losing?
Only part of the team is “ours”, and I commend that part.You’re celebrating our soccer team losing?
Ageism. Also, they feel younger than the are, so they aren't actually as old as their biological clock tells them. It's their truth.I’d be curious to see the average age of the teams. I think the us has got to be one of the older squads. Their core group has played together for a while now.
Judging by the TV ratings, all 14 people who were watching probably cared, but most of America had to clean out their fish tank or wash their hair and didn't even realize they were playing.
Exactly how many times are you planning to chime in about how much you DEFINITELY aren’t obsessed with the US women’s soccer team?
Well. Being on at 3am May have something to do with it too. Glad to know you clean your fish tank at 3amJudging by the TV ratings, all 14 people who were watching probably cared, but most of America had to clean out their fish tank or wash their hair and didn't even realize they were playing.
I know, they are like the Donald Trump of soccer…as someone said in a previous thread. they made their bed...
If anything they are paid quite well for how much their sport generates. It's just they are comparing it to how much our men's team makes. Historically our men's team is garbage and our women's team is the gold standard (bronze standard for Olympics apparently) I think they want more support from the USA SOCCER federation. Normally people would support labor over managementalways felt this was a money deal.
are they really underpaid?
i have no idea.
most dont care about it now, for sure.

did they agree to that for the olympics or for all comp?No, they aren’t underpaid. They were offered same deal as the men’s team, but they chose the conservative guaranteed money option. They could have made a lot of more if they chose the pay to play structure, but they didn’t.
hear what your saying, but not always.Normally people would support labor over management
I don't think they get paid anything for the Olympic games. Maybe a medal bonus but that's itdid they agree to that for the olympics or for all comp?

Didn’t even know you weren’t visiting the site anymore.Tough loss.
This thread reminds me of why I don't visit this board very often (except for the music thread).
I'll continue to support the USWNT as well as the NWSL (esp OL Reign). And for you folks in Omaha, Union Omaha are a great team to watch and the tickets are very affordable.
I have the greatest respect for all of the USWNT, esp Rapinoe.
This is probably a case where you would agree with the message but not how it's delivered. Think of it like this. They are Alabama football and after winning it all at 15-0 they get paid the same as Nebraska football did for 8 mediocre games. Also to get to their games they have to fly commercial while Nebraska gets private. Again the revenue generated is always going to be the legitimate sticking point.What little I know about their pay gripes make it seem like they are whiney little bitches that whine and bitch about, everything.
And yet, here you are barely a couple of hours after the thread was started.Tough loss.

Aren't the women more like Div III Mount Union in football and the men NU? Sure Mount Union dominates but no one cares except their alumni. NU may stink but has millions of fans.This is probably a case where you would agree with the message but not how it's delivered. Think of it like this.

Kinda but both teams are being paid by the same federation. I think the women get pretty good ratings vs the men in general. Obviously men's sports are always going to be the bigger draw thoughAren't the women more like Div III Mount Union in football and the men NU?

That’s the point the women though can’t figure that out and their butt hurt over it..Kinda but both teams are being paid by the same federation. I think the women get pretty good ratings vs the men in general. Obviously men's sports are always going to be the bigger draw though
I guess they didn't play against any under-15 boys squads during this streak?They did win like 44 in a row before the Olympics but I don’t think their coach did them any favors.

Maybe if they started a lingerie soccer league?
Same here. U.S. Women’s Soccer team is an embarrassment to our great country.I certainly am. They had it coming.
i may be glib about the money aspect and not someone to judge, but i just look back at how this team was beloved for a long, long time and they just kinda chucked it.Tough loss.

Maybe they just stopped scoring goalsWhen they stopped ripping off their shirt and flexing after a goal I stopped watching, so maybe you're onto something?
It is an honor and a privilege for any athlete to represent their country in competition against the world. If an athlete feels the need to dishonor their country by a symbolic gesture in front of the world, then they have no business being on the team.Tough loss.
