It's threads like this that make me stay clear of the OT section the majority of the time.

They did not "throw" the flag down... smh... and no, if you watch the clip it's clearly not meant to be disrespectful to the flag. Just caught up in the moment because a lifelong goal had just been achieved.
Shocker

"When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously."

Looks just like the Men's Celebration!

I just learned that the women's team has been averaging more revenue then the men's team in the Olympics. The women's team has been earning about 2% more total than the men. The women were given about $4 Million while the men got more than $30 Million.
 
Wasn't aware that Rapinoe had Bird rights. Anyway, the Reigning sports power couple in the Emerald City

Bingo. It also makes me wonder why anyone, and I actually mean ANYONE, takes anything El Presidente says seriously. He's a gimmick.

Do you have a credible link to that?

"But financial statements from the Federation show that, between 2016 and 2018, the women's games generated nearly $50.8 million in revenue, while the men's games brought in $49.9 million, a difference of $900,000."

It's pointless to try to argue with logical well thought out facts Lanny, when people can just make fallacious arguments against you.

"the US women deserve to get paid as much as the men do"

"well, the WORLD CUP revenue for men is more than womens!"

"Um, I was talking about the US teams, comparing the womens team against the whole mens cup makes no sense"

"Well look at the celebrations here when France won the world cup!"

"whats that go to to do with anything? Again, I'm talking about a systemic issue that generates unequal pay among men and womens teams."

"Oh yeah? Well, they can't beat a U-15 team!"

"Jonah Hill is a shitty actor"

"Whats that got to do with what i said?"

"Oh sorry, I thought we were just going to start barfing out non sequiturs"

As Dwight Jaynes pointed out four years ago after the U.S. women beat Japan to capture the World Cup in Vancouver, there is a big difference in the revenue available to pay the teams. The Women's World Cup brought in almost $73 million, of which the players got 13%. The 2010 men's World Cup in South Africa made almost $4 billion, of which 9% went to the players.

The men still pull the World Cup money wagon. The men's World Cup in Russia generated over $6 billion in revenue, with the participating teams sharing $400 million, less than 7% of revenue. Meanwhile, the Women's World Cup is expected to earn $131 millionfor the full four-year cycle 2019-22 and dole out $30 million to the participating teams.

I'm sorry, I can't let that slander about Jonah Hill go.

Did you not read my post about coming up with a link rebutting the assertion made in my link? You know, the one about the U.S. Soccer Federation's assertion that the (U.S.) women earned more than the (U.S.) men.

FIFA pays them.

I don't know why I bother with checking the forum. I just felt the need to respond to these fabricated posts.

The three women doing whatever hybrid chimpanzee/airplane dance that was clearly didn't give a fuck about the flag. A woman behind them did.

The tweet el pres quoted was maybe not 100 percent accurate but it's a fucking mile closer to accurate than what you two are seeing through your Trump Anxiety Disorder afflicted eyes.

I'm going to Vegas in October if you want to get together and beat me up!

Why do people even make an issue about sports teams visiting the White House, or not? As if they're somehow elevated above the general population.

Meh.

It has always been a way of celebrating citizens who have represented their country and fellow countrymen/women as a whole in a unifying and honorable manner while kicking ass and totally dominating the competition. This team failed miserably in all but the latter. Most Americans can only name the players who have slandered our country, and that is how history will remember them.
 
Either you get paid an amount you or your agent is able to negotiate, or you go full commie and all players get paid the exact same salary regardless of actual talent or popularity.

The women all have agents, and they are getting every penny of their worth for playing a game that has very few fans year-round. They are complete unknowns to over 300 million Americans who have never watched them play a single game.

Question about Rapinoe meaning when she says, "People who look like me"?

I have never followed Soccer and never heard of this woman before her team won the world cup. So what it it about her looks that she thinks Trump dislikes?

Is this some sort of code?

She’s an outspoken, purple haired, gay woman. She checks a lot of boxes of someone Trump would not care for.

Really!
Do you think, she thinks people can see she is gay? I did not. I sort of wondered why her hair is purple though, but don't really give a shit.

I thought folks might have thought this was a bit clever. Ahh, well. ;)
 
She kind of reminds me of a girl I knew in High School. Good looking gal! She ask me to be her partner in this Bad mitten league, of mix couples. She totally took on the role
of Boss, told me to leave every shot to her. I was only to get the ones she did not return. So I did exactly that, right behind her the whole match, every time. We did win it all.
But not quite in my book, as you might guess, I sort of was hoping to expand my role. It never happened. I only figured it out later, why. It amuses me now.
