    Yes, I meant Endorsement contracts....sorry. I would assume that T-shirts are already part of the gross earning of USWNST.

    I don't disagree with you about them being inconsequential, but there is certainly a lot of money to be made there, and Rapinoe will likely make much more in 2019-2020 than any of the men, if she plays her cards right.

    Totally and Agreed.

    Megan should be looking at a Multi-Million dollar endorsement deal, especially with the Olympics coming up.

    She has endorsement K's with Nike - I hope they revised them and add many incentive clauses. She deserves many more accolades and her future looks very bright.

    Apparently, judging by some of the posts in this thread, some of the RW consider This Patriotic Girl to be an "Ugly American":

    Thanks.:salute:

    USWNT Won Best Team at the ESPYS...

    Megan had her chance at the mike and stayed classy.

    What an example for America's Youth.

    I hope Megan is on the Shortlist for Time's Person of the Year.:flagus:

    I guess it is all "relative" based on one's political views.

    Her "actions and words" are EPIC.

    Megan = American HERO:flagus:

    Trump = American ZERO

    Indeed, it's your political views that cloud your judgment.

    Because I LOVE Megan?

    Nothing "Cloudy" about that.

    She is Brainy and has the Guts to say what is on her mind.

    She's Beautiful.:flagus:

    Right, and those people shouldn't go to hockey games. They can stay home and watch women play soccer, or golf. .

    Who told you the photo is a fake?

    Is the Esquire interview with the Chairman of the "American Nazi Party" also a fake?

    "White people are faced with either a negro or a total nutter who happens to have a pale face. Personally I'd prefer the negro. National Socialists are not mindless haters. Here, I see a white man, who is almost dead, who declares he wants to fight endless wars around the globe to make the world safe for Judeo-capitalist exploitation, who supports the invasion of America by illegals--basically a continuation of the last eight years of Emperor Bush. Then, we have a black man, who loves his own kind, belongs to a Black-Nationalist religion, is married to a black women… Any time that a prominent person embraces their racial heritage in a positive manner, it's good for all racially minded folks.”
    Rocky Suhayda, Who: Chairman, American Nazi Party; Likes: Hitler, white people; Dislikes: Jews, immigrants, multinational corporations”

    Biden/Rapinoe in 2020.

    Now that would be a winning ticket. :)

    And unlike Peisner, they are not comedy writers.

    It never ceases to amaze me how those of you from the far right so readily succumb to lies and hate filled satire. This has been posted previously so look again very carefully:


    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kkk-endorsement/



    All those reports and photos of the KKK endorsing Obama are FAKE NEWS. Get it into your head.

    Bravo! It's about time.
    Let's hope and pray that it is.
    Why? They were sent to war on the premise of winning back freedom ... not so that you can get your panties twisted if the flag touches the ground.

    Let's put it to the test. When judgment day comes and the dead once again arise what do you they will say was the most important thing to them:

    1. Staying alive.
    2. Getting back home to see their loved ones.
    3. The end of the war.
    4. Winning the next battle.
    5. Achieving peace for the people of whatever country they were fighting in.
    6. Making sure the flag never touches the ground.

    What order do you think they will reply and which one do think they couldn't care less about?

    Truth, the "fact checkers" have been thoroughly discredited - and not just by the right wing.

    "In a disturbing corporate-state collaboration, Silicon Valley has been empowered to be the umpire of determining authentic news and given the authority to stifle subversive content with no oversight or legal ramifications. All of this begs the question — who fact-checks the “fact checkers”? Who gets to determine what is or what isn’t “fake news”? The ruling elite, apparently."

    https://off-guardian.org/2018/10/31...heckers-how-the-fake-news-story-is-fake-news/

    Beyond that you can't paste up anything from your cited Snopes article that contradicts anything from my post. Think about that - real hard. ;-)
