Have watch some women's soccer in past World Cup and Olympic Games.
But just like the Olympics open ceremony went woke stop watching
Didn't watch any events in the Olympics this year.
usually like to watch non mainstream Sports gymnastics swimming and other spots that doesn't get a lot of coverage..

So you didn’t support American athletes during the Olympics because the Frenchies went woke in the opening ceremonies?

The last supper scene was pretty bad.
Like I said the soccer team actions turn me off from watching them.
Having a grandfather who died in WWII.
teams who are disrespectful of the flag.
I don't like to watch them.
I pull for American athletes but sometimes when a athlete from a poor country wins makes me happy to.
Yes I didn't watch any of the athletes from the USA team or any other athletes this Olympics..

Just to keep it super concise and clear to you.

Around 2018 as the Me Too movement was in full swing. The WNBA and USA womens soccer teams decided to capitalize and wade in. A lot of wild stuff was said by a lot of major players. note the WNBAPA was not as organized as it is now.. if you want to call that organization. Up until this all went down the only thing of note that had been accomplished was getting rosters moved from 11 to 12 in 2014....

In 2019 USA womens soccer filed a lawsuit for equal pay (they'd been complaining about it since 2016 but metoo was just perfect timing). It was around this time all the real crazy claims were made and it was getting testy (mostly WNBA players going after NBA players) Brittney Griner was the postergal for this. This went on for a while.

In 2022 USA womens soccer 'won' and immediately regretted it. See they had already been offered the same revenue sharing as the men before and turned it down. the found out that on that same revenue sharing they'd get paid way less and lose their benefits. Womens soccer players got paid and had coverage during covid.. men did not. Because the womens agreement covered them if they played or not had a bunch of health benefits etc. This was all late 2022.

This all leads up to Kelsey Plums backpedal in 2023. Looks like the WNBAPA (she is VP) finally took out their calculators. I am not gonna do all the research for you but since you like googling please do so. And follow it all from start to finish. Many members of the WNBAPA were making reckless statements over the years and the real agenda was put out there. You will also note you won't find many others making similar statements to hers. She is actually one of the sane ones. But the WNBAPA is a union and it goes on the whims of the members. look at the deluded stuff their members have been saying in public and on social media for years. Comparing your check to Lebron James is not saying you want revenue sharing.. The NBA's revenue is not in the same zip code as the WNBA's its simple math. There is no way the WNBA can afford to pay players millions.. period. Even with the record attendance and engagement this year they will likely barely turn a profit. Half of nothing is nothing.

So either Kelsey Plum is an idiot (which she is not) or her statement was made assuming the people listening were. To split revenue you have to have it... does that sink in? The WNBA brought in 200 mil last year...that's before anyone gets paid anything. Thats including the 10 mil a year they are subsidised by the NBA players.. not the NBA the NBA players gives them 10 mil every year to help keep the lights on. They were still in the red as a league. The NBA brought in 10.6 Billion in 2023. This year with all the hype from CC they are still expected to lose 50mil. How are you giving players a raise if you're losing money? If they split the revenue before paying bills the league goes bankrupt. So again either Kelsey Plum is an idiot (which she is not) or her statement was made assuming the people listening are. This is not even deep economics its basic math. another hint Plum studied communication in college.. she knows how to spin things well its why she is on the WNBAPA..

Another funny note... looking at the WNBAPA's leadership list is hilarious they have 4 VP's .. and 24 player reps. the league has 144 players. Maybe their problem is they are overrepresented? They give out participation Vice presidencies.

The vast majority of racism today is manufactured. By politicians, political parties, the media and certain people we all know that wouldn’t have a job if they didn’t keep it stirred up. Most of this crap in the WNBA comes from the media but there are certain players that can’t keep their mouths shut and say stupid sh#%. The opinions of the fans does not contribute unless the players bring it in

Because all humans have red blood.

Ha Ha Ha Ha....so the olympic team Aces couldnt even make it to the Finals.
MVP for nothing

The Liberty are a great team, but A’ja won the last two championships and easily deserved the unanimous MVP

NY was the #1 seed, easily the best team all season.

For those paying attention to something other than the AR/CC drama, Wilson was easily the league’s best player.

Ha Ha Ha.........AT and DC got the same result only a series later.......yeah they got to play a few more games, but that dirty play didnt pay off in the end. Maybe they should have poked some more eyeballs out!
