LMAO The USA just won a whole World Cup and you're in this thread going ON AND ON about white house visits and the fabric of our country or wutever the ****. If that ain't triggered I don't know what is.
NOBODY CARES. ENJOY THE TITLE. THIS IS A GREAT DAY. CAPS LOCK.

Go muthaf[]ckin Canes. Beat the green off the iguanas.

You're very, very wrong. That's a really odd take. It's comparing apples to oranges.OT...
I've often theorized, given 6-12 months of elite coaching, a team of NFL DBs, WRs, and RBs would destroy the field in world soccer.
Am I wrong? Not that easy?
It's just a completely different skillset.And I agree with that. I just think proper preparation would take years and years rather than months.
You actually get the point.
Although the men's team is so awful I'm not certain they could actually beat the women.
I don't see why they shouldn't get equal pay when representing their country - it's a pittance anyway. The England players donate their international appearance fees to charity (no idea what the women do).Well from a business standpoint, they've gotten better ratings than the mens team, won more, sold more merchandise, and had higher attendance numbers.
You could make the case that they shouldn't get equal pay, but in fact, should get HIGHER pay than the men's national team.
***** em…...respect the country when you're on the world stage...…..

They can have equal prize money too, but it has to come from their own kitty (sponsorship / ticket sales from the Womens World Cup) - of course the first time they followed through with this would be the last time as it'd bankrupt the competition, but I'm all about equal opportunities.
If only I knew which president you were referring to because it's happened more than once.If only our president did the same during the election..
Teams are paid by their respective national soccer federations and as has been posted w a source already, the USWNT has been bringing in more revenue than the men's team for 3 years straight now.Consider the woman only bring in 78M to fifa for the World Cup paying then equal pay of 400M would be crazy. Someone needs to bring up these numbers and simple economics to rapinoe.

The most watched soccer game in the history of the United States was a womens match.
This years Cup saw a its viewership increase by over a quarter of a billion people!
The numbers are on Rapinoe's (and millions of others) side.
I'm also watching the Mens final, and our mens team is NEVER going to win big. I feel like we've been waiting for Jozy Altidore to break out for 30 years.
Btw, let's debunk another myth about the womens game which is that the only reason our team is dominant is bc we're the only country that has invested in its womens team. Other countries have very quietly dumped considerable resources into their women squads.

I was thinking this exact same thing during the game. Our women’s team doesn’t have the speed or strength of the men’s team, but they clearly have much better technical quality. If you know anything about soccer you know that technical quality and discipline with respect to the strategy matter much more. I would say the women’s team would beat the men.
So what womens world cups were played in 2016, 2017, and 2018 when the WNT also brought in more money ? I must've missed those. Can we debunk this every four year myth already. It simply is not true.What you are saying is inaccurate for two reasons woman’s soccer in the United States produces no money and empty stadiums except for once every four years. MLS produces more then the woman’s equivalent in the United States.
Fifa is a WORLD organization not a United States business. The viewership in the United stares has zero to do with how much money it makes fifa. Soccer is not a popular sport in this country where it is the most popular sport in most other countries world wide.
The money for the tournament is paid by fifa not by any United States soccer federation. It is as simple as 4 billions dollars in revenue vs 78 million. Getting paid by US federation is based off money made by mls and the NWSL. Mls bring in way more revenue. If we want to get technical woman get 13% of fifa earning and men only get 9%. Doesn’t sound exactly fair when w9e break it down into percentages based off revenue earned. So no the number are not on rapinoe side. The numbers suggest your sport needs to become more popular which it will never be even close to 1/2 of the popularity worldwide as the Men’s soccer.
And watching the game tonight two middle of the pack teams are way faster, skillful, and entertaining then the woman’s game. If you can’t see that your a homer. Our woman’s national team loses to U 15 boys teams. the level of play isn’t even close to what the men produce so stop grasping for straws and look at the economics of business and the biology that men are faster and stronger then woman.
Then don't make it about politics. Rapinoe had the right to make a political remark. However, when you take a political stand, you have to be prepared to accept criticism from those that disagree with you. You'll turn a blind eye to the side you agree with, while attacking the side you disagree with it. That's hypocritical on your part.An American team just won the world championship in its sport and the reasonable folks in the room can't discredit the win fast enough.
