Another line of liberal crap gets tossed into the Historical Bin of Hapless Narratives:


Sanity prevails as federal judge slaps down Megan Rapinoe’s fake ‘equal pay’ lawsuit

On Friday, sanity prevailed in federal court after a judge finally slapped down soccer star Megan Rapinoe and the U.S. Women’s National Team’s sham "equal pay" lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation. The decision has sparked widespread backlash, but when you set all the identity politics and outrage-mongering aside, it’s clearly correct based on the facts.

Federal Judge R. Gary Klausner considered the USWNT’s “equal pay” claim alleging that the women's team faces sex-based pay discrimination compared to the U.S. men’s soccer team. He found it so baseless that he dismissed it without allowing it to proceed to trial. He did allow a few claims related to travel conditions to proceed, but the equal pay claim was the heart of the lawsuit, and it was rejected out of hand.

“The statements offered by Plaintiff [USWNT] are insufficient to establish a genuine dispute that [female players] are paid at a rate less than the rate paid to [male players],” the judge wrote in his decision. “Defendant [U.S. Soccer] has presented evidence that the [USWNT] was paid more on both a cumulative and an average per-game basis than the [men’s team].”

Cue the hysterical outrage.

I know this is neither here nor there but the women's team doesn't get near the massive endorsement money as the men's players receive.
 
Pro sports are starting to fade away into history. Semipro athletes in sports such as women's soccer may have an easier transition to other occupations and side hustles.

Because nobody watches women's sports unless they are playing for a gold medal or its beach volleyball.
 
To emphasize a point made above,

women don't even watch women's sports

with the exception of a few frustrated gym coaches...,

;) ;)

like the pink-hared chick who is clearly procrastinating in her career.

Most of the crowd dependent sports will never recover.... lesbian soccer is one.
 
They'll recover by the end of summer.

Any politician which tries to deprive the plebes of bread and circuses
is simply demanding a politician's knife in the back...

They need their triumphal parades,
especially when rainbow...

Talk about your subjective valuations...



Does the money being talked about have anything to do with the ability
to put asses in the seats? It's like saying the local club Jazz ensemble
should make the same rates as a platinum-selling arena band.

The Jazz may be better, but that's in the 'ear' of the ticket holder.
 
Which sucks because the women play far better then the men.

Uh, no.

Not that it matters. The heart of this particular case proved to be invalid. And it had nothing to do with quality of play.

The best thing in sports would be to eliminate the antiquated ideas of gender-based competition. Open all teams and competition to the best performers regardless of gender.
