They are winners, unlike our sorry men’s team.
The irony is that anybody is using this sorry arse argument to ask for more money.
The women would be taking their own “Sexism!” argument out of it and asking to be paid based on on-field results
Which is crazy
I’m quite sure they would be against a pay reduction if they didn’t win this World Cup

Winners getting more leeway makes total sense actually. But by all means let’s bring fricking OJ into this
I still dont know the point
The womens team is very good at soccer. However, the protest and bad mouth the country even when they are representing the country
For people who arent soccer fans but watch for pride in country, this will turn them off
That is natural and not lunatic right wing philosophy

It’s an extremely simple concept. Lawrence Taylor and Micheal Irvin got away with shite that would have gotten less talented teammates cut.
As far as I’m concerned, as long as they go out and win they can protest all they want before the games.

It really is a shame how unlikable they are now

No, but comparing a peaceful pregame protest to a double homicide is.

I simply made the point how you play on the field is not the only way you represent your team/country/whatever

That you would bring OJ into this at all is batshit fricking crazy
You expressed your opinion, I expressed mine. As long as they win IDGAF what peaceful protests they want to participate in. If you have a different view then fine, don’t watch. I don’t begrudge you that, but the constant whining and complaining over it is tiresome.

The kneeling and NFL protests are whatever. Found that entire deal funny. But kneeling or protesting in anyway on foreign soil while supposedly representing the country is a little different.
She isn't kneeling. She just isn't singing. The horror.

Y'all keep saying them and they. Isn't it one chick?

Hasn't there been 3 women's soccer leagues? They start with hoopla after a WC win and they fail within 2 years.
The women get paid what the market says they should get paid.
Doing well in a tournament every 4 years does not a yearly women's soccer league salary make. They have to prove to be a profitable league to demand higher pay. US Soccer is paying the national team members in the N.W.S.L. and they're not just paying them for a once every 4 years appearance in the WC.

One does it and the teammates haven’t spoken up about it

What?
You see it’s Rapinoe she’s kneeling

I don't think their complaint is about the check they receive for playing with their club.
Posted on 6/25/19 at 2:05 pm to I Bleed Garnet
I see it.
Those are not from the world cup currently going on in Paris. One of those is clearly in Atlanta.

"I beleive in my protests. But I also love my country. When I play for the US, I put the protests aside"
But she didnt. You and others can still watch if you please. I dont think thats weird
But you standing on your ivory tower of enlightenment and middle ground while belittling others who may feel different is somewhat amusing
I still love you though boo
Posted on 6/25/19 at 2:14 pm to I Bleed Garnet
These women have it made in the USA and just want to bitch and moan. Puts a smile on my face to see the rest of the teams love their country AND probably give their left titty to come to the US and be a citizen

Her protests are against Trump. I know some might not be able to separate the two, but it is what it is.
