2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!!

You ok Hank?
I just do not feel a college graduation ceremony is the right place to tell someone to be a victim, you?
Academia has already had over 15 years to brain wash these poor kids, that's enough.
It isnt all she said in the speech. Some of it was inspiring. She didnt tell them to be victims, she told them they already were victims and implored them to not be victims in the future, but you're right, in doing so, she had to dip it in the dirty water of identity politics and mess it all up.
I like the wolf analogy, though.
I think of myself as an orangutan or a baboon. (because Im colorful, and have great hair)
 
..and MAP is the crazy drunk alcoholic with the low IQ that threatens to beat up your grandparents if they don't wipe their wheels when invited into his double-wide.

Sometimes I wonder if it is your upbringing, or your insensitivity, or insecurities, or myopia, of your lack of compassion for others, or simply your reading comprehension that causes you to say these things. Do you believe in God?

It really must be nice to not be a minority and to get to choose what group you want to associate with. The term "identity politics" is a complete dismissal of true grievances that groups in this heterogeneous culture actually have. You should just once in your life try to imagine an opposite world and how you would want to be treated in that world. How would you feel if you were in a majority brown/black country where Islam and Hinduism are the religions of 90%+ of the population and you made 60-80% of what a black Hindu woman with a lower level of education than you made for doing the exact same job and it was called "identity politics."

You don't have to answer. It's pretty much common sense. Good luck to you and your players this season.
 
Now, the rest of the story.
Abby Wambach says she abused drugs and alcohol for YEARS before drunk driving arrest - and reveals she is divorcing fellow soccer star Sarah Huffman
  • Abby Wambach reveals in her new memoir Forward that she abused prescription pills and alcohol for years
  • The US soccer great says she took Vicodin, Ambien and Adderall on a regular basic, and also frequently drank vodka
  • Wambach, 36, claims she has not taken drugs or alchol since her DUI arrest in April of last year
  • She also revealed that she and her wife Sarah Huffman, who married in 2013, are getting a divorce
  • The couple shared a passionate kiss after the 2015 Women's World Cup finals in which the US beat Japan
  • Wambach retired last December, and this year started a new job with ESPN while also working on the campaign trail in support of Hillary Clinton


That's all that you got from her speech? You amaze me in a bad way sometimes.

MAP is a victim. Classic. Hi Amy! Way to represent your profession. Fake Psychologist.

You have to be the dumbest pedophile around. Anytime you want to get froggy you know where to find me coward. Keep on talking until then. I must have really taken a $hit in your salad. I feel like I really hit close to home. Get ready for all of your living vicariously through your daughter to be over real soon. And just hope that she doesn't talk to a child psychologist about you or you could end up in a red jumpsuit in protective custody right fish?
 
No, there was some good things, but the message was too mixed up for me.

Which part?

And of all those things you pointed out in bold, only one of them, getting behind the wheel while under the influence, goes to her character. Not a problem calling her out on that, but let’s assume she is addressing that issue, can she not then deliver an inspirational speech?

Ricky, which part is identity politics? Talking about women’s struggles? I didn’t see any. And if anyone is inclined to say they are all equal (males and females), I’d suggest you ask your own dd’s who they think has it easier, boys or girls?

I think the message gets messed up when you get political.

I tell both of my kids:

1. It is easier to be male.
2. In the USA, it is easier to be white.
 
What is going on at Notre Dame?

1. SoCal sunshine is undefeated vs. South Bend winters.
2. Looks like McCashland is one of those 5th year graduate transfers, preparing for life after soccer. Wouldn't read too much into that one.
3. Jacobs is a SoCal native returning home, see #1.
 
Hmmm....That is interesting...I thought they had two freshman goalkeepers coming in as well....?

That was the curious part.... The transfers seem interesting for the current roster of players. I get it from the coach's perspective. He wants as many weapons as possible to throw at Stanford and UCLA.
