Megan Rapinoe.....Just STHU and Play !!!!

Reward Is Not Dependent on Your Effort but on Your Product

I don’t doubt Wambach when she says that she, Manning, and Bryant “left it all on the field for decades with the same ferocity…and commitment” and that “the sacrifices the men made for their careers were nearly identical to her own.” But if there is a case for equal pay, this isn’t it. The first hard lesson is that pay is not dependent on your effort but on your product.

Seems Megan knows of no teammates that want to go to the White House this time around. But they’re excited to accept the House of Representatives invite to the Capitol.

You’re pretty much regretting having started this thread as well I suppose

US Women’s Soccer grosses equal or greater than USMNT, so there should be pay equity.

But of course, you’re threatened by women.
Do they keep getting promoted over you at the Fed Insurance Co?
 
From Izzy's FEE article:
US Soccer sells these broadcast rights and sponsorships as a bundle, not separately for each team. As a result, it’s hard to tell how much of, say, Budweiser’s sponsorship is attracted by the men’s team and how much by the women’s. Presumably, sponsors are paying to get their name in front of potential customers. Considering that data show TV viewing figures for the men’s team are higher than for the women’s team, this might suggest that the men’s team is the attraction for a disproportionate amount of that broadcast and sponsorship revenue. This would explain the pay disparity

From https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/10/us-...world-cup-final-was-higher-than-the-mens.html:
US viewership of the 2019 Women’s World Cup final was 22% higher than the 2018 men’s final
Fox Sports' statement reports that total viewership, including online streaming, peaked at roughly 20 million, making it the most-watched soccer match on English-language television, men's or women's, in the U.S. since the 2015 FIFA Women'sWorld Cup final, which delivered 25.4 million viewers.

And

https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2...ip-and-bonuses-highlight-womens-pay-disparity:
Restricting interest to just the United States, the scale still favors the women. The women’s quarterfinal match against France was watched by over 6.1 million people, in the awkward 3pm EST timeslot, while the English speaking comparison for the men’s quarterfinal victory over Curacao was 1.55 million on a Sunday night. Over the course of their final three games the women tallied 27 million viewers for Fox.

Viewership is of course not the only way to measure interest, and the women have also proven their ability to drive the bottom line. The home women’s jersey has eclipsed all sales records, men’s or women’s, for Nike, and is up over 500% versus the last World Cup on Fanatics.

As usual Izzy and his sources of information are full of shit!

Whatʻs the viewership and pay like for the WNT that play professionally?
1) you need a dictionary to learn the definitions of “equity.”
2) what does the economics of their club teams have to do with the discussion about national teams? Do you not understand the difference and you’re on a soccer blog?

Haha you don’t know the difference! And you play around on a soccer blog!
“Uh, well, if the USWNT wants as much as the USMNT and it’s based on product not fairness and they bring in more money, well uh, duh, how much do their club teams bring in?”

Keep selling insurance, GEICO boy!

WATCH: Hockey Coach Tells Players to Respect the Anthem or ‘Get the F*ck Out’

A hockey coach in Connecticut gave his players a locker room talk in which he told them that they would stand for the American and Canadian anthems, or they could “get the f*ck out.”

The video, posted to Facebook last month, shows minor league hockey coach Dan Krupinsky of the Hat Tricks making it clear to his players that “respect” for the anthems is expected.

“We’re not women’s soccer. We’re not the NFL,” Krupinsky said. “If there’s anybody here who is going to be disrespectful to either the American or the Canadian national anthem, grab your gear and get the f—- out now because you’ll never see the ice in this arena.”

“We don’t have that problem in hockey. We’re better than that, but there was no sense in wasting anybody’s time if that shit was going to happen.”

Watch:


When he’s not coaching hockey, Krupinsky is a police officer in Danbury, Connecticut.

Krupinsky told Todd Starnes of Fox News Radio, that he’s surprised by how much attention the video received.

“I thought it would get shared around town — maybe — but I never expected 6.5 million people,” he said.

“Coaches have a responsibility to keep their team squared away. We are fortunate to be in a place where we are a patriotic team and city.”

The issue of protesting the anthem during sporting events began in 2016 when former 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick first sat, then knelt during the playing of the national anthem. Though the NFL protests have almost totally vanished, the issue gained primacy again this summer U.S. Women’s National Team co-captain Megan Rapinoe protested the anthem during the World Cup.

In addition, Rapinoe has refused a potential White House visit and also declined to place her hand over her heart during the anthem at Team USA’s victory parade in New York on Wednesday.
 
Upon further revew:
Everyone’s new soccer hero Megan Rapinoe is actually kind of awful

Beyond the embarrassing exercise in self-victimhood, Rapinoe’s personality is marred by her lack of appreciation for the country that has given her the chance to rise so far and achieve so much. She has turned the women’s historic World Cup win into a political pissing match, when it could have been a bipartisan moment of unity for the country. When asked, Rapinoe said, “I’m not going to the f---ing White House.” Plus, she has repeatedly knelt for the national anthem and said, “I’ll probably never put my hand over my heart. I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again.”

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Rapinoe is a bad role model for the millions of young women across the country. They look up to her and see not a disciplined, respectful sports icon, but a groundlessly bitter, petulant celebrity who is totally ungrateful for the opportunities she's had. As Marc Thiessen put it for the New York Post, "Megan Rapinoe is a great — but needlessly, selfishly divisive — athlete.”

This truth has, unfortunately, been largely lost in the post-victory fanfare. Everyone should be happy the U.S. women’s team once again proved its excellence on the international stage, but we must not forget that Rapinoe is not someone worth celebrating.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...-hero-megan-rapinoe-is-actually-kind-of-awful

Her behavior post World Cup Championship (and to a degree prior) has likly cost her millions in endorsements. She's just not very smart.

She's real, and true to herself, and that's better.
 
She's real, and true to herself, and that's better.
Her screaming "New York City, you're the motherfucking best!” in front of a large live audience while on national TV is extremely inappropriate for any member of the USWNT especially a captain. She detracts from the celebration and much of what the USWNT is all about. Again she seems to be a pretty ignorant person.

That's funny, I didn't hear any of that. Besides the TV audio, screaming mf from a float in noisy NYC is pretty tame in comparison to naked painted bodies strolling down the street, LOL! I hear worse language every week on PGA coverage.
She's well spoken, articulate and scares straight America down to their tighty whiteys. She may need a bit of polish when it comes to public speaking . . . but isn't that what millions love about trump, he sounds like them?

Hey dip shit.......
What's the " speed of play " of a Women's National Game .....
What's the " speed of play " of a Men's National Game .....

That's right .....there's a HUGE difference !

And that HUGE difference is represented in the over all turnout
thru out the years.....The Women's League a few years back was
about to go belly up, if it didn't already happen....

They can demand all they want, but the FINAL SAY SO IS THE
CONSUMER WHO OPENS UP THEIR POCKETBOOK !


Pontificate all you want Booty, but the final word is in
the Cash Register .....and if the money ain't there ....they
are NOT going to get paid what they demand....That Simple !
 
Just Do it.


I would PAY to see Megan Rapinoe and Alexandria Okra Cortez
wrestle on prime time on the front floor of the House of Representatives.....
That's all that facility is worth any more !

I think it would be a crying weep fest until one poked the other in the eye....
