After watching multiple news outlets b*tch about the USWNT


Jul 8, 2019, 7:49 PM

Stay in your lane! It's embarrassing that they know nothing about the sport, but yet they want to go after the USWNT for some of the stupidest of reasons.

Yes, the flag hit the ground (quickly corrected)...yes, the women have made a big deal about the pay gap, though they fail to take in revenue as a factor...yes, one person failed to put her hand over her heart and sing the national anthem.

To focus on those minute issues instead of celebrating their accomplishment is remarkable! The USWNT deserves to be celebrated, and they're being treated like traders.

I recognize the talking points, but I am proud as hell to say our women are the best in the world!

I am so pleased for the girls that represented our country in a magnificent manner. It is totally selfish for one of them to bring attention to herself and detract in any way from the accomplishments of the team. It is a distraction that doesn't need to be there.

You’re right...they are the best in the most boring sport ever created, in my opinion. Cricket, Badmitten and croquet evoke more interest and excitement. The only thing that makes it remotely interesting is listening to the Spanish announcers calling a goal and yelling at the top of his lungs. It may be a huge sport in the lesser, third world countries but it won’t ever surpass golf, hot dog eating or rowing in this country.

I can’t explain it except to say most of the world is poor and under developed and they need anything to take their minds off their horrible existence. As far as European countries, I guess they are just small minded. Who knows? ****Really honestly Tigerfanatic12, I’m pulling your leg...I don’t understand the game but I don’t hate it and yes, I am very proud of any USA team! ***

also pretty clear you've never watched a whole cricket match. I wouldn't wish that experience on my worst enemy.

How is it boring to you? Is baseball, football, or basketball boring to you?

Endorsement for disrespecting our flag

Maybe they just want an endorsement deal so they can make some real money.

The women's team is doing ok as it is. Each player will pull in a little less than $300,000 for participating in the world cup (qualifying matches, friendlies, tournament, etc.) totaling about a year's worth of time and effort. A good chunk of that is from bonuses for winning, of course. But I think their whining about not being paid the same as the men rings a little hollow.

I would be in favor of having only one national team and letting the best players (man or woman) play on it. Then there is no question about being treated equally. I bet most of the women wouldn't go for it.

Or maybe the women's team players could trade salaries with the enlisted combat infantry soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think soldiers deserve to a higher pay scale than soccer players.

I don’t think they want to play any men’s team. We all know what would happen.

You are right they are arrogant. They are embarrassing to the USA. They did win the title. They are overpaid.??
