Won’t this hurt b-ball attendance even more at state?

Remember when the Cubs fired Theo after this

Remember the out rage over this?

Me either

Imagine while serving as a spokesperson for your company you started dropping F bombs, you would be fired. Who did the Blues fire? I hear and see multiple players in every sport cussing daily. In fact, a player for the Netherlands was caught in the finale telling the ref to “F off”. I’ve never seen...

Thank you. That gives me your answer.

Bad if someone I don’t like does it. Justified if someone I do like does it.

Again, think what you want, but putting words in other's mouths is no doubt the worst.

You were asked.

Your generic questions, which are 360 degree's all over the place, have no value in getting back to the entire thread's point of evaluating if the women are fairly compensated in comparison to the men. No? Thank you. That gives me your answer. Bad if someone I don’t like does it. Justified if someo...

I don't agree JD. People have called out the Blues. It's also in no way an apples to apples comparison - as the Blues are > 80% an international roster. Canadian/Russian,etc. So you are against the Blues, Dream Team, and president doing these things or not? Are you against all Americans cussing? I ...

Usually don’t agree with Tribe in almost anything but we obviously do here. I still think most of the angst is because it’s the women’s team. Sadly we still live in a country that wants women seen and not heard. It’s okay for the Blues not the USWNT. It’s okay for the Dream Team, not the USWNT. It’s...

https://twitter.com/foxsoccer/status/1148361856551022593?s=21 Earth to JD. The US men's team wasn't in the F***ing WC tournament. You think that has anything to do with it? https://money.cnn.com/2018/06/19/media/fox-world-cup-ratings-us-team/index.html Do with what? The men’s team wasn’t in the men...

As far as the F bombs, the Blues aren't representatives of their country and also aren't trying to pursuade anyone about anything.

How about the 44% decrease between 2019 and 2015 Finals, JD. . .you keep ignoring that point.

I’m just posting what I just saw. I have no idea what past ratings were. Not ignoring anything.

This WWC also beat the World Series last year except for one game.

Go watch the 1992 game between the Dream Team and Angola, and get back to me on how the two teams are similar in the way they celebrate every score. I just read an article about how some though the Dream Team was ruining sportsmanship and running it up too much. But then said the other teams wanted...

Of course they didn’t. We celebrated the US dominance and showing the world how awesome we were. The blowouts were a part of that. We love US superiority—depending on who it is of course.

Yep

I honestly don't give a rip about anything Megan Rapinoe said, I just ignored it mostly. The real issue I had, is disappointment over mocking opponents while repping the country. Not a good look. I know some think it's cute and funny to make the US look bad because they think the US is a dirtbag co...

I don’t remember a lot of complaining about the blues when they won and all the F bombs they dropped

This probably explains many that are against the women’s team. Unbelievable. https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1148346558099927041?s=21 Not on this thread..... I will say this, alienating or disparaging a large swath of people certainly doesn't help anyone's cause no matter the cause. Dropp...

It’s like the discussion I had a Twitter today. Guy said he was against the US women’s soccer team, and I asked why. He said well they lost to a 15U boys team. He also said they disrespected the country. When I asked him how he said they didn’t treat the flag correctly. He’s a Reds fan, so I showed ...

Unbelievable.

I looked it up. The women’s final was 22% higher than the last men’s World Cup.

The men get paid?

What were the ratings for men’s world
Cup in the US?

I heard today the women’s final was like a 10?

How would the USWNT perform vs the field on the men’s side? They probably wouldn't make it out of stage play in an U~15 tournament. Exactly. And even if people have a problem with that perfectly fair question, if the field was equally competitive on the women's side, which it isn't. The most lopsid...
