No, don’t do that.
I was insulted, and in the heat of the moment I did stoop down to his level but it was a mistake, I have too much class for that.
It’s just that engaging with these guys can be like like playing chess with a pigeon - it knocks over the peices, defecates on the board, and then flies back to its flock to brag about how it “won”.
Did you really just copy and paste that quote, lol.
Bwahahaha … whatever class you think you have you must’ve left it in another forum … that shit has yet to make an appearance here Darnell
Of course not, bet you were summa cum laude.
So 80k out of college?
Nah I coasted through while working a ton and a kiddo at home.
It’s just not that hard to know what most doctors are called and/or can recognize the name.
My grandpa can do that, and he dropped out of school in like 6th grade or some shit.
…
lol.
At least we found the line his class won’t let him cross.
Weird line
I’m gonna charge a lot more than than $50K when I finish fine-tuning my process for turning semen into wine!
So many questions … Mr Emily is going to be exhausted
You may understand american business but you cleary do not understand sports business…
" * The women are paid less than the men despite performing similar job duties for the same employer and outperforming the men — at times earning more profit for the federation, playing more games, winning more games, winning more championships and garnering higher television ratings. To support that claim, the lawsuit cites the women’s (then) three World Cup titles, four Olympic gold medals, No. 1 rank in the world for 10 of the 11 last years and the 2015 World Cup title game being the most-watched soccer game in American TV history at the time."
The nation does not get any material profit based on team performances in a world cup. This prize money is commonly shared between the soccer federation for things such as training facilities, bonuses for staff and players, youth development etc. They as winners of the Womens world cup got 4m in prize money. Then men this time obviously got 0 since they did not even qualify. So yes they earned more profit for the federation, and they also got a percentage of that split between themselves. If a time comes that the winner of the womens world cup gets 40m then Im sure they will split that too.
Anyone who knows anything about Football/Soccer the only one who is on an actual salary is the coach, and his staff. The players do not get anything, the rely solely on qualifying for a competetion and the prize money. Every federation splits this prize money how they see fit. Most of the time they actually agree to the % before the tournament even starts…
Once again. I am all for the Womens players to ask for a higher amount from what the federation got from the prize money. Just like the men have every right to ask for the 9m they got from their round of 16 exit in 2014.
An international soccer federations main source of income is from tournaments(World cup, Copa america, Euros etc.) even friendly games… I know its a little different as you guys pay regestration fees as kids etc…
The US Soccer Federation is not Bill Gates that can just hand out money like an actual soccer club like Chelsea, Milan etc…
Here for example is a sport called Tenis. It may not be as popular as soccer, but the womens game is played all over the world and is broadcasted every day on tv.
I guess thats why the women make the same as men in prize money. Neither men or women have to sell jerseys in tennis… neither have club teams they play for, neither of them have to fill out big stadiums. Once again I guess thats why its different.

Of course they do. That’s just silly. Winning teams always see an uptick in merch, advertising, etc. Business isn’t limited to prize money. Something every single player definitely knows.
As I said above, this is blatantly wrong. The US women’s team have salaries in their contract. It’s a point of the lawsuit and freely acknowledged by both parties.
Salaries 100% exist for the US women’s team. It doesn’t matter even a little what other countries are doing. The topic is us women’s team.
Which is exactly what they’re doing? What’s your issue with their process then?
If they’re profitable, they obviously have wiggle room. That’s not even a discussion lol.
pfury you claim that they have salaries to play for their country. I have never heard of this but lets say you are right? As im sure you know clubs also pay their players a salary. The salary states how much the players get paid p/w etc. So Im wondering how they would get paid? Probably not per week you there are international breaks etc. Sometimes there is 2 games in one week, then there are no international games for 3-4 months and even more.
If they have a set salary like you say , and are paid that. Plus they are given a percentage of the prize money that FIFA and FIFA only decides how much (pre-tournament) I dont understand what all the fuss is about? Im sure the mens team do not even have salaries to play for the national team like every other country in world football. Only bonuses, for final tournaments.
Im still soo confused of what is going on. You state an article that clearly states that they aren’t happy about the mens team getting more prize money despite having worse results. I state over and over again why this is, yet you say that this is not the cause of their protest/ uprising etc…
I’m not claiming this. The women’s team, their lawsuit, and the entire us soccer organization is claiming this.
I’m just parroting the information, because I assume they all know how their own paychecks work.
Salaries are typically spread across the normal pay cycle. Probably paid every 2 weeks or twice a month. Pretty common/standard
Neither do I. A group of people asked for a raise and everyone shit their pants like it effects them in any way. Let them have every cent they can negotiate for. I don’t suffer if they prosper.
Correct. The men’s team doesn’t have salaries, and still significantly outearn the women.
Where the money is specifically coming from doesn’t matter. It’s the total amount in their Bank accounts. They want it to go up. It’s really really really simple.
Its like in boxing or the ufc, they are called to do the same job by the same employer. However the smaller weight classes dont make nearly as much as lets say Connor McGregor etc…
It does matter where the money is specifically coming from LOL! A tennis player doesn’t make money by just sitting on his arse. He has to go to tournaments , us open,wimbledon, french open etc… Based on his result, he gets prize money. You can’t squeeze milk from a dead cow.
I do not suffer in anyway if they get a raise, but people have to understand that this money comes from somewhere. Fifa makes a certain amount from the tournament and the rest is prize money. Obviouslly the womens world cup doesn’t generate the same amount of income as the Mens World cup. Just like the superbowl and table tennis dont get the same revenue etc…
He thinks you’re only talking about salaries paid to players for representing their country in the World Cup.
Do you think it spends differently?
Many of them do. The high level ones have sponsorships with contract negotiations. They make money by sleeping. It’s how sponsorships work.
They also make money from advertisers, merch, tv shows, etc
You don’t seem to understand how businesses operate. How old are you?
Guys im sure you are wrong. It is a well known fact that players do not get paid for playing for their national teams as it is seen as an Honour. However when a national team qualifies for a major tournament, and also when the tournament is finished, the federation is given a certain amount of prize money based on the teams finish in the tournament. The federation does not have any major expenses, and 99.9% of the time they split this between the players/staff as an incentive to do well in the tournament…
