Sorry I’m confused, how is this a late hit? I mean it’s a dirty hit, but no one touched the receiver down. Unless he called himself down, I don’t see how this play was over until Burfict touched him.

My Dad collected guitars. Like lots of them. He started with Fenders, then got into other stuff. Eventually he sold his Gretsch collection to Randy Bachman.

You really should stop posting about this. You actively harm your side with such ridiculous posturing.  You are even right that they should be compensated equally for their USNT participation, but you are so dumb about how you approach it that you will actively make people disagree.

The problem you’re seeing here is that the compensation models are not the same between the men and the women, because they bargain separately. The women bargained in favor of more guaranteed money, the men bargained in favor of higher incentives, lower guarantees.

“There’s no reason the women shouldn’t be compensated the same as the men for a sport they are BETTER at anyways”

US Soccer doesn’t “invest in NWSL.” They pay the salaries of uswnt pool players (and p.s., the league would not exist without the subsidies since none of the names would stick around).  I still don’t understand how this doesn’t count as “pay”

What is equal pay?

I think that is a big part of the conversation and the confusion.

I don’t think there is a consistent message or answer to this question, which leads to a blurry ask.

I own three electrics (an SG, a Tele, and a Strat given to me from the trunk of a guy known as “Fat Pat”), plus a $200 Yamaha acoustic. As long as I’ve been playing, I’ve known people who hoard guitars but do nothing productive with ‘em. That’s dumb and worthy of ridicule.

I’m curious how the very different pay structures between the men and women can be equalized. One group has guaranteed salaries and one does not. What is the plan to make them equal? I haven’t seen this explained clearly anywhere and would be interested to know.

Good god what an idiotic analogy. Private businesses are not the same as public entities. The men & women BOTH represent their country.  They both put forth the same amount of effort.  They both train at the same level.  They both wear the same uniform.  They represent us.  The compensation they receive while…

“Here is what they cannot deny: For every game a man plays on the MNT, he makes a higher base salary payment than a woman on the WNT.”

why should a company using income to pay salaries to players not use that figure to account the amount of money it pays players?

Got it. They should have handled it the way MLB and the Nationals handled Bryce Harper’s free agency.  Becasue Deadspin couldn’t say enough good things about that.

Happy coach calls for a pass 1st and goal on the one w/maximum Lynch in the backfield.

Stupid article... looking at wikipedia or doing a simple google search confirms Sharks are fish.

Betteridge says no.

How is it not “earned”? Seriously what more could the writers do to tell you that Dani wanted to burn the city down? They have directly saying it a half dozen times from season 2 until now. They had a main character die with his last words all but being I hope I am wrong about her killing a ton of regular people. Her…

They do have internal logic, it is just rushed so it doesn’t hit as hard. She is isolated(the dinner after defense of winterfell), has lost two trusted advisers(Jorah & Missi), been betrayed by another, lost two dragons, and lost Jon as a lover/potential king and he is instead a rival. We were supposed to understand…
