How much world cup money is the us men's team expected to bring in at the next event?

That doesn’t really matter , they ( men and women both ) have collective bargaining agreements with different bonus and pay systems . I get what she’s saying , we want more money , but she’s using the “I am woman hear me roar approach “ in the press I’m guessing to help put pressure on the ones that negotiate those contracts . I’ve never understood the male female angle with collective bargaining unions , athletes , actors get what they get because they have really good reps .

Edit : I should include coaches for sure in this .

Inviting the government into my life voluntarily? What do you think?

I don't have commitment issues. I just refuse to settle for anything short of my own standards.

You may need to lower your standards. Maybe you aren't a big enough prize to attract the perfect woman.

Report: NYPD Investigating Vandalism Of Megan Rapinoe Posters As HATE Crime

"Hate has no place in the transit system..."

Megan Rapinoe and the rest of the World Cup-winning U.S. Women's Soccer team were honored in New York City Wednesday in a ticker tape parade culminating in a ceremony in front of City Hall. A couple of days before the big celebration, the New York Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force started a hate crime investigation related to posters featuring Rapinoe, who is openly gay and emphatically anti-Trump.

"The New York Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force is investigating after posters of USA soccer star Megan Rapinoe were vandalized in a subway station," CNN reported Wednesday. "Eight posters featuring Rapinoe in her US Women's National Team jersey included homophobic and defamatory slurs along with the phrase 'screw this h--,' the NYPD told CNN."

A poster vandalized.....is a hate crime? If this doesn’t tell you the term is purely subjective, arbitrary and utterly stupid....I don’t know what does.

I see., so she dropped the F bomb on live TV? Well, at least she said "I'm" instead of "We're".

Of course, she did. Take a look at her antics ... it's all about her. I have a feeling that if her audience was somebody on the other side of a battlefield rather than a bunch of fans in a stadium, she'd be sniveling on the ground while others did their job.

The white house has become a symbol of endless war, insurmountable debt, and usurpation of power from the legislative branch.

Nah. You're a bit jaundiced on this one. Maybe a symbol of power usurpation. Endless war would be Pentagon (a least it isn't an obelisk). Debt would be Crapitol Hill.

The White House symbolises many positive things. We must separate the corrupt-o-crats who reside in the buildings from the buildings themselves.

I think our diversity and self worth is the greatest and most honest symbol.

Call me crazy!

So they didn't get anything yet that's being used in their favor? If they play like they've been playing they'll miss the next one too. The usmnt is currently a terrible squad
