“But like in every other aspect of life, in global soccer the sexism persists. It’s why Real Madrid didn’t agree to take on a women’s club until this year, and the billionaires at Manchester United didn’t start a women’s team until last year.”

The biggest thing holding back women’s soccer is the same old thing.

Cool story. let me just tell you i dont care about your comment or anything. 

I think a quick glance at the False Equivalence wikipedia page oughta do it.

This sizzling hot take brought to you by someone who’s never had a smug little teenage shit disrespect him in his own home. I’ve banned one of my son’s friends from my house for a year for lying to my face about washing his hands after he used the bathroom (I can hear the bathroom sink from the kitchen you little…

Or the check is about to bounce and they are trying to get out of the contract before Haas sues them.

Properly something to do withe the fact that Rich Energy were ordered by the court to reveal their finances.

I’m pretty sure a third-place, South American, soccer match is the last place the president will show up.

Except that, in all of the articles I’ve read by the various complainants, I don’t recall seeing a single call being argued where asking “Was it correct?” would be answered with anything other than “Yes, but...”

“That’s something I quietly made go away—no paparazzi or tabloid stuff,” she told VH1 in 2008. “I took care of that. I didn’t want people to feel sorry for me or to count me out.”

She might not know what an airplane is and, perhaps, was on a bus.

Hey, glad they won! I’m not opposed to running up the score because goal differential is the first tie breaker and if they let up at 6-0, there’s no reason to think Sweden wouldn’t try and win 7-0.

I like this story because in a way it’s uniquely American. It’s about sporting excellence, pride in your accomplishments and not even pretending to understand the concept of moderation.
