re: USWNT's Rapinoe to Congress: 'We don't know the real potential of women's sports'

And the nerve of this fricking bitch to say something so ridiculous. Women's sports are subsidized at every level by the mens.

This is my biggest issue with the whole debate about this stuff. It's the fact you're not allowed to acknowledge. These schools at the NCAA level in some cases lose *millions* just by having a women's basketball team. The WNBA has lost tens of millions through its history and is kept alive entirely by the NBA. They get beat in the ratings by home shopping.

The fact that they're given the opportunity to play should be enough. A men's league that bleeds money by the million like every women's league would be folded in a year or two.
