Let me tell you this-- /r/Drama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad? That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and Gamergaters. You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings. They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslighting lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that /r/drama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.
These people who claim to care so much about the women's team didn't even know that the team did win equal pay. Talk about complaining for complaining's sake!
Hey women if you want women's sports to on the same level as men's sports tune in.
Guess what if you all watched the WNBA and the women's world cup as much as men watch men's sports they would make just as much money as the men do.
Don't blame WNBA stadiums being empty and no one giving a shit on men if you wanna pay to watch JV level basketball so girls who couldn't make a shitty highschool basketball team can make millions like lebron you can you just gotta band together as strong woman
It would be really funny if there was left-wing coup on the /r/soccer mod team, and every time a title referenced a team it had to specify that it was either the men's or women's side
Nah, the user base is pretty okay on r/soccer. Once in a while there's a thread Stating we should treat women like spoiled children and just hand them money/TV time whitout them'having to earn it, but otherwise it's fine.
The women will also make more this year and since the men team failed the qualification for the next world championship, they will make less compared to the women for the years to come.
I fully support them in renegotiating if/when that occurs, but it's still disingenuous to portray the current gap as some sort of misogynistic injustice.
They should definitely be paid the same salary:revenue generated proportion as the men's team. If they make more money, they should be paid more money.
That was not the case. The generated more revenue, had higher ratings (the 2015 women championship final was the highest rated soccer game of all time, including games of the male team) and were still paid less. They had to sue to get equal pay.
Spoken like a true knob. Got some questions for you faggot. Are you an NFL fan? Have you ever played the sport or any for that matter? And no, esports do not count.
You do realize American football is just a bastardization of Rugby right? So by your logic if Rugby is retarded then the NFL is the blind and deaf retarded offspring of 2 retards that somehow managed to fuck and make a kid. They literally have to wear helmets due to all the extra chromosomes it carries around.

I have absolutely no idea why people have no real interest in a soccer team that can't beat a group of 15 year olds.
1 pizzashill 2017-10-11
Well for starters most of them don't even know this. They have no concept of why women's teams are paid less at all.
These are the same people that think jobs women dominate are just paid less because women dominate them.
They literally can't comprehend why a chemical engineer is paid more than a first grade teacher.
1 WiggityWatchinNews 2017-10-11
No she called you a date rapist because you pored something in her drink.

You date raped the English language.

1 polandthrowaway619 2017-10-11
The men's team lost to a bunch of illiterate South American llama farmers, but people still seem pretty interested in them tbh.
1 aqouta 2017-10-11
To be fair if the alternative was llama farming you'd be more motivated to practice.
1 fallingandflying 2017-10-11
Yeah but they still will beat the women team 20-0
1 autistitron 2017-10-11
Sports are about physical stuff not how educated you are
1 Baconlightning 2017-10-11
Illiterate llama farmers are amazing at football though. Look at Brazil.
1 All_of_Midas_Silver 2017-10-11
They have humans in brazil?
1 Baconlightning 2017-10-11
Legally speaking they have, just so they can send a team to the World Cup.
1 OccasionallyClueless 2017-10-11
People are interested in the US men's?
1 autistitron 2017-10-11
That's problematic knowledge so the tumblr blogs they read would never tell them that.

200-300k top end, "equal pay". Maybe to the water boys

This is what they get paid for playing on the national team, clubs still pay whatever their market will allow.
1 lionoftheblueocean 2017-10-11
They don't deserve a cent when they can't even beat u15 boys team.
1 All_of_Midas_Silver 2017-10-11

I went out of my way to try and watch the entire Woman's World Cup the last time it was on, but ended up skipping tons of matches until the final.
If I wanted to watch shitty football I'd move to Wigan.
1 Awayfone 2017-10-11
Here I thought soccer was the shitty football

don't give them any ideas
1 shanewater 2017-10-11
It's not going to happen. Even a dedicated brigade can't enter EVERY single thread about football.
After maybe a day or so of trying to make it happen, they'd give up when people are just downvoting their comments to the bottom.

Years ago wasn't there a weird coup with a racist squatting r/soccer, and r/xkyd was involved or something?
Does anyone remember what I'm talking about?
1 PM_ME_HAIRLESS_CATS 2017-10-11
I actually have to agree here the WNT is better than the men's hands down but people should stop bitching about it
1 SlavophilesAnonymous 2017-10-11
The woman's team is better at winning games, but not at playing soccer.
1 Think_Once 2017-10-11
They are also better at making money for the US soccer.
After expenses, the women turned a profit of $6.6 million last year. The men? Their profit was just under $2 million. Looking ahead, U.S. Soccer’s 2017 budget predicts that trend will be repeated: Expecting another Olympic gold medal, and another victory tour, the federation has forecast a profit of more than $5 million for the women’s team in the next fiscal year (on $17.5 million in revenue).
The men? U.S. Soccer figures they will lose about $1 million this year (on only $9 million in revenue).
1 SlavophilesAnonymous 2017-10-11
Wow, nice. Yeah, the men's team should go neck themselves.
1 lionoftheblueocean 2017-10-11
Yikes the amount of lying and cherry picking
1 Think_Once 2017-10-11
Yeah, reminds me of my wedding.
1 SmurfPrivilege 2017-10-11
It appears to be an anomaly related to their 2015 championship. Most years, they were earning well under half the revenue of the male team.
1 Think_Once 2017-10-11
The women will also make more this year and since the men team failed the qualification for the next world championship, they will make less compared to the women for the years to come.
1 SmurfPrivilege 2017-10-11
