So my stepmom wanted to buy my 4 y/o a sports jersey so we told her us soccer. She ended up buying my whole family jerseys just because. But it took me a solid 10 minutes to try to explain that it's a women's jersey in men's sizes. Ain't complaining but funny.
This along with Tobin being throttled in the box and this game is lucky to be what it is. Complete ass kickin’
Havent. I saw a USSF lawyer came out and ridiculed it saying the majority of it was lies. I don’t know enough about any of it to have an opinion.
It was pretty clear that they are not looking to receive equal % of revenue as pay that the men get, they want actual $ for $ equal pay for each match. I don’t think that’s very realistic, USSF aren’t good guys but I’m not sure where they’re supposed to get this money from to pay them. It was certainly a 1 sided picture of the story but I really only took issue with 1 thing. How they presented the revenue. They did I think 2015-2019. So including 2 WWC years but only 1 MWC year. Think I saw that including 2014 would’ve meant about $10-11m more in revenue for MNT.
Good video about the equal pay lawsuit. If everything in this video is true, its pretty disingenuous and that the WNT is just trying to get as much as they can, which isn't necessarily bad, but they're trying to use the gender angle, which is shitty. They want all their current benefits and all the benefits of the men's contract with the negatives.
5 minutes in and there’s a huge discrepancy. He says the women rejected the deal the men got, but in LFG they repeatedly state they were never offered that same deal
This article says the judge threw out most of the case in part bc the women turned down the same pay structure https://www.npr.org/2020/05/02/8494...sses-u-s-womens-soccer-team-s-equal-pay-claim
I think I posted it in here but I saw a letter by a USSF lawyer that ripped into LFG for its false statements. I don’t know enough about any of it to form an opinion personally.
It was an awful performance. Sweden pressed like hell, and we couldn't string together more than 3 passes. I fell asleep after the 2nd goal
