As far as originality is concerned, I’d rank the collection a “vanilla cupcake with delicately swirled white frosting and sprinkles, photographed vertically on white marble for optimum Pinterest.” So, nice basics.

Thats a dangerous comparison being the men’s team has not made it to final that i can think of. Lets play the ratings game. Ratings of teams in the world cup final for their perspective country? Men’s win by a long shot. Lets see men vs. women’s world cup total views world wide? Men’s still win it, oh yeah by a LONG…
Um...Last year’s World Cup (Men):
I just read through the last comments I could find from sita pt.2 and while they may not have been what caused the banning, holy fuckballs was she being forced to deal with some disgusting white-mansplaining.
Thank you for saying this! I was beginning to feel like every one had gone mad. This video is fucking vile.
I feel the same way. I don’t oppose violence in media universally. I don’t even necessarily oppose violence and women in the same context (I’m thinking of House of Cards where, in some cases, violence against main female characters was not necessarily of a sexual nature). But I’m never going to support torture scenes…
YES! I’m really annoyed by people making it seem like disliking the sexualized violence against women in the video are anti-black girl. I love Rihanna, but this video was waaaayyy too much, especially since Mads was the thief who took her money, his wife was innocent, but the violence against her was on screen, while…
Accdg. to NYTimes, in 2011, Men’s Tournament netted $1.4b, women’s tournment netted $5.8m, meaning revenue from women’ tournament was about 1/200th of mens (0.05%). So proportional to revenue, the women are paid more. Not to say women shouldn’t be paid more or given better working conditions—they should. But this pay…
Something about kidnapping a woman and swinging her, topless, from a ceiling, smacking her unconscious while she tries to call for help, and holding her underwater because of something her husband did is crazy fucked up. It’s a lot of sexualized violence for me.
Eh, the callous violence was upsetting.
No. The World Cup is the absolute pinnacle. The Women’s World Cup is the absolute pinnacle for women. Women are, in theory, allowed to play in the World Cup, should they be so talented as to earn a place on the team. Men are not allowed to play in the Women’s World Cup, out of basic fairness to the women on the field.
I don’t think it’s fair to characterize the men’s national team as “sucking” as they’re competing against nations whose athletes play nothing but soccer and have for over a century. In the U.S. our talent pool is diluted by U.S. football, basketball, and baseball. Our top athletes are going to play a sport that offers…
It’s about the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Which is a worldwide enterprise, broadcast around the world. FIFA determines the payout, not some national US body.
As far as MLS vs NWSL, do you have any ratings data for them? If NWSL draws the same numbers and revenues as MLS, then there’s an argument to be made.
How is it when Taylor Swift does this shit, she’s supposedly fake as hell, and when Rihanna does it, she’s the shit?
Well, it set ratings records in The US, but we are a pretty small piece of the puzzle when it comes to revenue globally in soccer. We care a lot about women’s soccer relative to the rest of the world; most other countries could not care less (and, relatively speaking, the inverse is true for men’s soccer). I think…
1) The winnings are set by FIFA, not the US so US viewership is a small factor.
Desi game on fleek though
Regarding point one, you are aware that there are other countries on the planet other than the United States right?
The US is one of the few countries where the women’s team is actually better (in terms of consistent world ranking) than the men’s team. It’s also a country that pays attention to soccer once every four…
