Why Women's Soccer Teams are Overpaid

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 7/20/2023 1:13:33 PM

The Women’s World Cup (soccer) is upon us, and we’re in for weeks of mind-numbing commentary by browbeaten weenies who gloss over the ladies’ athletic inadequacies, but gush over their strategies. The U.S. team still fields Megan Rapinoe, a militant progressive who scratched and clawed in unseemly fashion to ensure Women‘s National Team soccer players get paid far more than they deserve. Under the U.S. Soccer Federation collective bargaining agreement, they are getting as much as the men, in fact. The problem is, women don’t play soccer; they play women’s soccer, which is a weakened version of the classic game. Recently, the big-mouthed, obnoxious Rapinoe welcomed transgender players

The first American athletic team that I’ve ever actively rooted against in international competition, and I very much doubt that I was alone. Rapinoe is retiring, so we will likely not witness the spectacle of her getting run over and trampled by a 240 pound tranny NFL reject. Curse the luck.

Yea, Rapinoe is retiring - AFTER this World Cup. I would like to see her just go away forever but we will be faced with seeing and hearing her on soccer TV broadcasts till the day she dies. Makes me vomit.

Same as #1, when the US Women's soccer team with Megan Rapinoe was playing international competition, I was always rooting for the opposition, strongly. Even hypothetically for Iran, North Korea, or Cuba. Mainly, I just wanted to see this horrible person lose. Then I could have a private little celebration, drink a snifter of Lagavulin neat. Bond villain Rosa Klebb (From Russia with Love) was a much nicer person. If Rosa took on Rapinoe in individual competition, I'd be rooting for Rosa.

Well, they did the same thing with professional women's tennis. Equal Pay. Except that in the Major event tournaments, the men play the best of 5 set matches; but the women only have to play the best of 3 set matches. Equal pay for doing far less work on the court. It's disgusting............

This hack must be a member of the Three Stooges Woman Haters Club. Attacking women's sports and attacking Rapinoe are not the same and should not be placed together as being remotely related.

On TV there is an advert in high rotation with Mostly Male, major sports stars talking about how futbal/football/soccer is MUCH bigger than their baseball, football, basketball...and is the home of THE REAL hero athletes, more famous and exciting than any of them. Then shows only clips of women soccer players. Yes, world cup soccer is a MUCH bigger deal globally than any american sportsball event(which are also dwarfed by Nascar every week as well, at least they always were)...but "women's soccer" isn't. Frankly, a highlights reel of any 90 minute soccer match averages about 8 seconds, even less for women's soccer. But all of the nets will run MORE of those than any coverage at all of the Biden Bribery "News" combined.

Nobody watches. The whole financial end of sports is butts in seats, or eyes on TV coverage. Women's sports are way lower than men's sports. Here in the USA, soccer is a fifth rate or lower sport, and then you do the women thing to get even fewer viewers or attendees....where is the money supposed to be generated from? Overpaid, indeed.

As opposed to womens' golf where, pound-for-pound, many of the women are better and more fun to watch than the men, especially the Asian girls. Aside from the advantage of stronger men completing longer drives, the girls show greater skill around the greens, with very few exceptions.

On the down side, golf is going heavily black-woke but not one black pro is on the tour. Amari Avery, hyped as "The Tigress" is coming out of college and may have a future but so far has been disappointing. As you would expect, she has a temper and an attitude but the golf commercials dutifully use a diverse group in all of their ads.

Assuredly, OP didn't post this article due to any irresistible urge to watch women's soccer. And I normally agree with #13 on most everything, but the italicized part of the following sentence simply could not be more wrong: "Aside from the advantage of stronger men completing longer drives, the girls show greater skill around the greens, with very few exceptions." Women professional golfers with whom I have played many times, are accomplished within their sphere, but their short games are nowhere near the level of players like Seve Ballesteros, Phil Mickelson, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, and many others. It's nice to think that women pros make up in finesse what they lack in power, but they don't. Lo siento. The differences between the sexes involve more than mere strength.

Keep in mind that this..... as all 'professional' sports..... is simply Entertainment. A player, or a team, or a league's value is based on how many people will pay to watch them, plus what advertisers will pay to run commercials on TV. Actual skill is not part of the equation, other than what viewers find entertaining. As for me, I have ZERO interest in professional sports. Many years ago I watched the NFL, but they turned me off with the 'Krapernick' garbage several years ago. Yes, there is some big money involved, but as far as real importance, it is about as important as someone passing gas during a hurricane.

#16 is correct. Years ago one of our local corporations sponsored a little tournament matching about 15 LPGA players with their best customers. The lady pros were decent players but absolutely no match for our current club champion and the other scratch amateur members. Oddly, it was the gals’ short games that stood out as wanting. The ladies are better now due to fiercer competition but nowhere near the level of the men.

Naive conservatives point to the leftist obsession with electric cars even while the grid is being moved away from reliable energy sources like oil, coal and gas, to fundamentally unreliable ones like wind and solar, and then point to the blackouts in California. “How is this going to work?” they argue, thinking that they’ve made a convincing point, while fundamentally misunderstanding (as conservatives often do) that they haven’t found a logical weakness, they’ve uncovered the enemy’s plan. Shoving everything into an unreliable power grid, especially personal transportation, isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. That’s the whole point of electric cars, and the proliferation of always

Two radical left “scholars” have crawled from underneath the rocks where they were hiding and are now openly advocating the end of “judicial review.” That’s the theory that the Supreme Court has the last word on constitutional issues and that all must obey their decisions—including, and especially, presidents. The doctrine dates back to the 1803 Marbury v. Madison decision, where Chief Justice John Marshall decided the ultimate question of power: is an act of Congress or the Constitution the supreme law of the land? But now, Harvard law Prof. Mark Tushnet and political scientist Aaron Belkin are advocating for something they’re calling “Popular Constitutionalism” to give Joe Biden the dubious authority

Two veteran IRS agents with impeccable records have now testified under oath that federal officials not only slow-walked the Hunter Biden probe but nixed efforts to investigate Joe’s role in the family business. And though legacy media are conveniently apathetic about the developments, they seem somewhat newsworthy to me. On Wednesday, we learned the identity of “Whistleblower X.” Joseph Ziegler, a self-proclaimed Democrat who worked at the agency since 2010, told the House Oversight Committee that he handled 95% of the evidence in the Hunter tax investigation.

Earlier this year, after the federal government leased 583 square miles of deep-ocean waters off the coast of California for offshore wind farms, California governor Gavin Newsom said that “offshore wind energy has gone from a distant pipedream to a burgeoning reality.” Maybe—but it’s hard to imagine an energy project that is costlier, riskier, or less practical. When completed, the project is set to deliver 4.5 gigawatts of electricity to the California grid. But because even the steadiest offshore winds blow only intermittently, the average production of the turbines will be around 1.8 gigawatts—just 5 percent of California’s current electricity consumption. If California goes all-electric, as state regulators insist it must,
