But they are though, would you agree the 2500th fastest male sprinter in the world counts as somewhere in ‘below average’ because he is still comfortably faster than women’s world record holder.

The point is though that average male athletes are still better than average women athletes by a distance, sure there are a few outliers but is a couple of women playing in the men’s leagues what we want for women’s sport? Surely developing their own sports to a level where they are respected in and of themselves…

I agree!

And Australian open is equal as well.

US men’s player get paid by their domestic franchises who generate more revenue than women’s game but when play for their country at a WC the prize fund is paid by FIFA hence the difference. Comparing the overall winnings for tennis doesn’t work though, just need to look at the prizes for the major tournaments which…

E! is just trolling now. Who gives a fuck about spin instructors lives (no offence to spin instructors, just no interest in watching your lives on tv like 99% of other jobs).

He looks like a 15 year old who spent a week at an outdoors camp. Awful.

Apparently there is only one Asian American director (apart from, you know the guy who directs the current series...)

I think this series is getting extremely good, I think this will end up better than the first season. Although Taylor Kitsch is robotically bad so far to be honest.

it’s not a class action, a human rights organisation just found a figure for every migrant who died in Qatar and then decided it was because of World Cup bid (investment bankers, CEOs, Doctors etc are included).

that is completely meaningless, US adds a fraction of FIFA’s overall revenue so their viewing figures aren’t impressive. It has been pointed out in rest of thread that men’s world cup brings in 200x the revenue of women’s world cup.

because an Indian doctor or lawyer or dentist who hasn’t set foot on a building site for World Cup is being included in the list because because they are a migrant.

Well this looks like the whitest thing since the table at Charlie Sheen’s birthday party.

I have no idea what you are talking about, FIFA pays the teams not the US and the pot is divided up regardless of who finishes in each space. Men’s WC made more than 200x the revenue of the women’s, so could be argued that women are overpaid with a 17.5x disparity between winners. I disagree though as I want FIFA to…

Because Qatar’s might lie doesn’t justify using Indian lawyers who have heart attacks in the ‘migrant deaths’ stats.

None of that is true and it is beside the point as the 40x figure is from the Men’s world cup winners (Germany) vs the Women’s world cup winners (USA). (also those are old figures 17.5x is direct comparison not 40x which shows how much difference has come down over last two world cups).

jesus this isn’t difficult, I am saying we don’t know whether he was being rational or not or how strong his suicide impulse but albatross_Y is claiming because they have had suicidal thoughts everyone must react like them.

Nah. Zizu was great but he didn’t score a 17 minute hat trick.

1) those numbers of deaths are false 2) it’s not an either or
