How do you reconcile the USWNT losing to a U15 boys club team in 2017? Do you believe the U15 Dallas FC team could beat the USMNT?

Its kind of easy to dominate when the rest of the world doesn’t really care about competing at the highest level in women’s soccer. Its like the men’s basketball team dominating. It’d be kind of sad if they didn’t considering the rest of the world doesn’t take basketball near as seriously as America does yet.

The USWNT and the USMNT compete at the same level. And, arguably, our women compete at a higher level than the men

Yes, and Tom Brady and Brian Hoyer compete at the “same” level, but not. Look, the men have contracts with bonus structures, the women agreed to base pay and paid leave language. The men only get paid if they play, women’s salary is guaranteed. The men play more games. The WC revenue pot is bigger for the men. I think…

I think if this were the MLB and the AAA team made this argument we would all laugh.  We should all be laughing at this.  

If you and I work in sales, and you generate twice as much margin as me, am I justified in asking for the same bonus? Am I right to be upset that you get a bigger bonus?

Should US soccer send money to USMNT members that play in the MLS to subsidize their MLS salaries like they do for USWNT members that play in the failing women’s professional league?

The problem lies here: “I don’t care which team earns more for US Soccer or less.” 

Others are citing how strange it is for players to be complaining that women might be added to a game where frying pans do more damage than pitchforks.

For people wanting to see how people complained back then, this slashdot article shows how HalfLife fans reacted to Steam activation being a requirement for Half Life 2.

What power?  It’s a video game, and you don’t gain any personal power by playing it, you moron.

Seems pretty reasonable to me. Like they said, no matter what they do, they are going to offend SOMEONE (see the OP of the article). If they don’t include PoC or Woman, they are sexist and racist, if they do they are shoehorning them in, if they give players the option to do what they want, then somehow thats bad…

Devs: “We’re not putting too much effort into it because it won’t prevent people from being offended at anything and everything.”

Holy shit, we get it, Deadspin hates this World Cup. Fuck man, I haven’t seen this concerted effort from a publication to ensure the world knows their opinion about something since The Ringer closed shop after GoT ended.*

That’s too much.  The only thing she should get is a bill for everyone else’s time.  It’s abundantly clear here that she stowed her ass away to try and run a little scam. 

The way she is moaning about being traumatized and permanently scarred leaves me wondering if this is a scam, and she deliberately hid somehow during disembarking hoping that Ka-ching! Pay day!

I contacted every member of the US Men’s National Team to ask if they were happy about today’s result and if they like puppies. None responded and I think we can all agree that their silence speaks volumes.

Why do so many of these articles make gender the reason that pay is lower? The mens World Cup is at worst the 2nd biggest event in the world. The amount of money it brings in is staggering. The women's World Cup, which I do enjoy greatly, is barely a blip. There's a reaon Beyonce makes more money than Chris Brown and…
