They would be endorsement deals that would normally go directly to players that USA hockey would instead collect based on personal service contracts as part of their $68k salary. I guarantee more brands would be interested with the added value of their support for gender equality in sports.

Thanks, it kind of ticks me off when issues like this come up and people try to pit two groups against each other when the perpetrators are the ones holding authority over both groups.

Fair enough, they could definitely use better leadership for their cause in the form of a lawyer or politician with labor relations experience and possibly unionize with the men.

If you read some of my other replies, the women if they want to be paid like full time employees will have to do more work, similar to full time employees.

That is what they were asking for, but I imagine they would’ve taken higher salaries or a bonus structure combonation that was roughly equivalent to the men, who again have the ability to make far more money. Nobody goes into a negotiation asking for exactly what they want to settle on.

The KHL pays pretty well, as do several of the other euro leagues, players in the NCAA (another fight altogether) that don’t wish to preserve their amateur status should be paid if they work for USA hockey enough and would be willing to work more.

Fair enough, I didn’t know that. I assumed it was similar to soccer (where the women have an even greater case for equal pay), but the in kind benefits are huge. USA Hockey’s argument of being a governing body and not an employer is still horseshit though as they do have paid full time employees (which isn’t a knock…

That is true for their professional sports leagues, but governing bodies like USA hockey, the USOC, and US Soccer should be paying equal to men and women. If playing for your country is so important to the players (and I think it is) the men should be willing to take a partial pay cut if money is really that tight.…

I don’t think Kirbycide was as humiliating as DK walking you off the edge or being pooped by Yoshi while playing in Saffron City

Did you miss the mckinnon goal yesterday? Or any of the news about Vegas?

Having had stitches to my lip from a puck (freak play), glue to my chin from an elbow (with a cage on), various bruises from fists and sticks to the neck and face, I’m a firm believer that everyone after college should go no shield for men’s leagues.

sure, if you’re sharing, why not

Not sure if it’s a joke, but none of the plumlees are twins.

Fuck you got me excited until google reminded me that there are like 50 salems in this goddamn unoriginal country. The salems by me are only known for shitty water parks and killing witches.

The roof of my mouth hurts just thinking about it but damn I do love them. Plus I’m pretty sure every bag of munchos ever has had the $2 only sticker on it no matter the size

With enough power you wouldn’t even need to worry about turning radius, just flick the wheel a bit and mash the loud pedal.

Cheesecake. The answer is cheesecake.

or the fucking trap in Ottawa

What is that shit on the left? That looks terrible
