Alex Morgan is a smokeshow

[TypicalRussian]

I remember watching her on the TV when I was younger and just enthralled. Ugh

My son lives up the street from the arena.
I was thinking to catch a match this season.

All the sexism accusations and lies about the pay gap turned me off of one of my Top Five sports to watch, the USA Women's National Team.

Now that Rapino is gone it might change to sports again, though.

And it was all bullshit. The women had a different contract with USA Soccer than the men which was more lucrative.
The women voted to accept it.

Now they have the same contract. No gain in pay. That was bullshit.
Few realize this.

I looked into it big time, back when it was a controversy. You are exactly right... they actually had a better contract percentage wise.

Thank you! Finally someone that understands this. When this was in the headlines no one believed me.

People just belive headlines. Never dig into things.

Here was one thread I did about it...I have a few posts in that thread that cover it

US Soccer Unequal Pay for women = Not Happening

Great video that show that the women actually make more per game than the men and have guaranteed dollars. For example they were paid 3 million per year the last two years when games were called off due to Covid because they had a guaranteed contract. The men? They did not have a guarantee...

This photo was turned into a meme by placing the words "i missed the goal by this much" in reference to her ridiculously bad PK when she should have already been forced into retirement.

She was a very good wing in her prime.
She was never a Mia or an Abby.
Or, and good luck getting someone to agree with you that soccer is not a team sport.

You bring up other examples of stellar women players and then play a strawman. Great argument there.

You didn't address my points. You're just doubling down on your hatred of the champion Megan Rapinoe.

Did not address? Good God. I certainly did.
I said she was a good wing in her prime.

A direct address to your reply.

I then expanded the discussion to make clear you understood, as you apparently did not, that she was not in the same class as the greats.
