Most definitely because it would expand their negotiating power. The more More popularity broadly would mean better salaries for USWNT in the leagues they play in outside of the USWNT which would improve their bargaining position.

But that’s not the only point that matters from a legal perspective. There are other dimensions, like risk, that are also a part of the equation.

5% more per game. In total the women made 32% more for playing in 25% more games. Their contention is they would have made a lot more under the men’s contract. Which is true, but one thing not being acknowledged here is that the men’s contract entails a lot more direct financial risk (as evidenced by the fact that by…

Does “Episode I” have a decently fleshed out end game to hang around in?

But that doesn’t mean the stock market doesn’t reflect “reality”. It just means that when the recovery happens capital holders will see the returns more efficiently than a working class that continues to have to deal with much more fierce competition.

I mean, the current value of the stock market definitely reflects a recession. The way this article is framed makes it seem like markets are doing great when in reality they’ve been pinwheeling all over the place and it’s really only because of an arbitrary cut point of “a month” that things look fantastic.  

It was on a show aptly called “Useful Idiot”.  

I didn’t say they were our friend either. But the notion that we should treat them as mortal enemies is idiotic.

No they aren’t you inbred dipshit.

The problem with getting old is that you get set in your beliefs about things and often times those beliefs are misguided. Because you are a random person on the internet, it doesn’t really matter that you think I was trying to be homophobic with the word, but  if feeling morally superior to a stranger helps you get…

Not every African country is starving or at war; why aren’t ALL the governments who are allowing the exploitation of their resources by the Chinese simply demanding better treatment of exiles, ex-pats and migrants Immediately?!?!

It’s also hard to understate just how hard it is to become an Olympic gymnast. We’re talking about the top .0001% of all athletes here. In order to be able to do that by the time you are 18, you need more than just freakish athletic ability. Everything about your life needs to be oriented on honing that athletic…

And even Haney’s eight-year suspension isn’t as strict as it might appear: the suspension only applies to USA Gymnastics’ athletes and its partner gyms. Haney can still coach overseas or in any gymnastics program not affiliated with USA Gymnastics

If Biden stepped down, the delegates would be free to vote how they want, but doing something that un-democratic (little “d”) would court disaster. It’s one thing to tip questions to a candidate, it’s quite another to just say “Let’s ignore the incontrovertible results of a primary because the candidate has problems”.…

Except the rest of the person’s comment was not about how it is a politically inconvenient.

It’s going to be interesting to see how much opens up. Definitely some retailers will wind up closing a lot of locations, but to the extent the issue with a given space is that the tenant defaults but remains in business and plans to try and fight their way through the recession, I suspect there won’t be many…

Sigh, I guess.

I always thought “pansy” was a generic term for weakling, whereas “nancy” or “nance” was the homophobic slur.

That seems like a lot of work.

There was definitely going to be a Libertarian party candidate on the ballot. They haven’t ever mattered before.
