Deep down, I'd love to be a big supporter of the USWNT. I really would. I'll cheer for the US in anything and but for the social justice battling, I wouldn't be compelled to make the comparison.
But they force it on us, which leads us to discuss these things. It is an inferior product in most every way - I don't mean that cruelly, it just is. But I think they would find we will promote/patronize/enjoy it and celebrate those female athletes if they stop shoving a completely misguided agenda in our faces.
If female sports want $$$ they either need A) widespread women-driven viewership/attendance/support (small minority of sports consumers, B) increased male support (large majority of sports consumers) or C) a non-merit/non-earnings driven system where their sports are propped up on account of sex.
So if they don't want C), it's ridiculous that women aren't chastised for not supporting female sports and men who might otherwise fill in that deficit are lectured and disparaged by the athletes and organizations that should be trying to appeal to male supporters to improve the viability of their professions/leagues.
Its like Bill Burr says in one of his routines... militant feminists aren't looking for equality. They want to be able to go to the "Male Privilege" buffet line and pick out all the "good" stuff they want like (so-called) "equal pay", but they want to ignore the icky stuff such as "pay for the movies" and "stay behind in emergency situations while the women and children leave first".

This. I paid money to watch them play in the Super Dome a couple years ago. Hell, I watched them play Brazil back in the early 2000s. Watched all their World Cup games as long as I can remember.
With their current shenanigans, the USWNT won't get another dime or view from me.

I'm not arguing, but werent they offered the men's pay but signed for the guaranteed anyway?
I just never believed they had a leg to stand on from any angle on this.
I'll watch again next time, hopefully next group won't be such privileged assholes.
