    In case you didn't know it, he is not on the USSC thanks to right wing hatred for him and Obama.

    Trump as president for 5 more years? Not likely as he would bring on Armageddon. Prepare to see your children die in his war that is to come.

    Conservatives are America haters. No need to look very far for them to see themselves.

    I wonder if tRUMP will be there to honor them like they deserve to be for being true American heroes.

    No it is not true. The Women's World Cup brings in only around $80-$150 Million. The Men's World Cup brings in about $4-$6 BILLION.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeoz...ween-men-and-women-is-justified/#3614b1df6da4

    I did not look up overall, but I seriously doubt the women bring in more. Not sure about Europe, but here in the US, we only hear about the women is when they are in the World Cup....and winning.

    They are probably saving Megan for the last hour, to hold the ratings.

    We are talking about USA revenues, not FIFA:


    "during 2016 to 2018, the U.S. women actually brought in more revenue than the men: $50.8 million for the women versus $49.4 million for the men"

    Please share your source for the fake photo.

    Are these Northam photos fake?




    Did Esquire make up the Tom Metzger interview where he explains his support for Obama?

    Are you saying that Esquire published fake interviews?

    "Obama might be a better candidate for our cause because he's racially conscious. One of our big things in the National Alliance is to raise the racial consciousness of our people. Young whites in universities, they've been stripped of any kind of racial identity. Obama may be a racist in a positive sense for his people--that will awaken a lot of the whites, knock some sense into them. … I give Obama credit, he seems to have stuck to his guns as far as pulling the troops out of Iraq. He's a very intelligent man, an excellent speaker and has charisma. John McCain offers none of that. Perhaps the best thing for the white race is to have a black president. My only problem with Obama is perhaps he's not black enough.” Erich Gliebe, “Who: Chairman, National Alliance; Likes: Third Reich, the movie Rocky; Dislikes: Integration, Jewish-controlled med.”

    Funny, hilarious actually.
    A thread that is basically a lie, stepping on the flag.
    The only reason the women's soccer team has all this attention is the borg(tRUMP and tRUMPers) got all hot and bothered because one said some mean things about baby donnie.

    Brainless, wow. Even more in common with baby donnie. Imbecile also. tRUMP isn't qualified to be up to an adolescent. More like a whiny toddler.

    Correct. Men's soccer generates billions.
    Women's soccer generates millions and it is in decline.

    let's hope all players speak out and not hold back like so many others do when it's a Republican who causes trouble

    A good argument for reducing the compensation for male American soccer players.

    I think that is the exception and not the rule. According to your link:

    I would like to see a comparison when both teams are in the World Cup and doing well. Neither Women's or Men's are real popular in the US and fans are more of a "warm whether" type of fan here. Right now, I would say that the women have a much better chance at getting promotional contracts than any of the men do.

    I'm not disparaging Women's soccer and certainly think the women should be paid similar to the men, comparable to their market. I definitely like watching the women more than the men. Seems as more "finesse" and less "brute".

    Do you think Esquire is a bad source?

    At no point did I think you were disparaging them. But the point is that the women are suing USA soccer for the disparate earnings in pay. They are not and cannot be suing FIFA.

    So should promotional contracts be figured in? I would bet that Rapinoe will sign one or more in the next few months.

    Megan has Skyrocketed to National prominence.

    She needs to cash in to be the face of the 2020 Olympics.

    Depends on what you mean by promotional contract. If sales of t shirts for both genders are sold by USA soccer, then the money should be pooled along with ticket & merchandise sales, and with TV revenues. The pooled money should be equitably distributed. Again, FIFA is another matter. US contractual law is not binding on that international source as it is European.




    As for Megan's endorsement contracts, that, like those of the individual players, is inconsequential in regard to USA soccer salary distribution.
