US women's soccer team wants equal pay?
Sure, when they generate the same amount of revenue as their male counterparts do...it will happen.

Women's soccer...is it popular on American TV?
Is the public clamouring to watch it, attend matches.
Are sponsors willing to spend big money?

Nike’s biggest selling soccer jersey. Best Global TV ratings.

Plus, the women are the best in the world and the men did not qualify for their tournament,

Pay them for their accomplishments or shut up about this being a meritocracy.

We should just shut up about its being a meritocracy.

This is just  the poster child for that issue - the millions of other instances are not individually visible enough to catch the public's attention. As the saying goes, one death is a tragedy, but a million deaths are a statistic. So, too, inequity of pay and opportunity.

Soccer is a sport I can only find interesting if it's played by firm-bodied young women. 

Here is a joke I made up this morning, reading the Epstein news:

Epstein, Prince Andrew, and Trump walk into a bar.

Bartender sets a bottle of expensive Scotch on the bar.  "I know you guys like a good 12 year old."


I dont think it works.

Double entendre.  Maybe you need to be a whiskey aficionado to get it.

Well, no

Distinction made between 15-16 year old girl and a twelve year old

Happy to clear this up.

Pretty "funny" for a man who just posted a fake comparison between Trump and JFK.

So much worse than Trump's bending over to kiss Putin's ass and allow Putin's people to interfere with our elections. Oh, the shame.

But then again you were the person rooting for the US to lose that game rather than having the evil player score.

Why do you hate America?

Take a knee...

Take a hike, dipshit. Every American should know how to treat the flag.

Fuck off, fool.

Every American should be screaming at their legislators about the shit being done in our name under those colors.

Blow me, Bundy. That's got nothing to do with what kid posted.

The men have generated far, far more revenue in the last decade than the women. The women generated a bit more than the men the last three years. Those are facts.

Meanwhile, back at the RAUNCH...

Last week Atty General Barr quietly upheld the sweetheart Epstein received from Alex Acosta without recusing himself from the case. Why should he you ask. Back in 1973 AG Barr’s dad hired Epstein to teach at the Dalton School without a college degree or teaching experience.

This shit is so incestuous....

I don’t give a fuck what you think because for I ever want any shit from you I’ll squezze your head!

Speaking of shit, when are you gonna enthrall us with your treatise on the historical importance of the Battle of Memphis?

Yeah!

Outrage over this has nothing to do with the lack of outrage over something far more egregious, Larry!
