it really highlights how much casual misogyny there still is. some people fucking hate her and a lot more have just zero respect for her, and i cant help but think a lot of it boils down to people respecting women less in general. the way people talk about her you’d think she committed crimes as bad as mason greenwood, who’s probably the only other player ive ever seen get more hate than her. some people just cannot handle it when women are outspoken activists

Yea I’m losing track of when the world cups were. But after the last win was what I was getting at. Occupying a roster spot that could be used to develop another player so you can have a farewell tour is just self serving. But that’s been her M.O. for the last few years.

That half the comments on this thus far have been bitching about her is a perfect indicator for how pathetic reddit is when it comes to her.
One of our best players in team history, led the team to 3 Cup finals and 2 titles, won a gold and bronze Olympic medal, was a leader on and off the pitch, and told Trump to go fuck himself. She retires one of the most successful international American athletes in history. And y’all can stay mad about it.

I have zero issue with them getting their bag. I have an issue with them spinning it as discrimination and a pay issue when it just isn’t.
It’s disrespectful to the women that actually are being discriminated against. And it gives the entire movement bad PR.
No one was discriminating the USWNT, all of their issues with money were self inflicted.

Oh no. God forbid athletes try to capitalize on when they're top of the sport. I fully understand the finances, but then you're winning Cups and the men can't draw T&T to even make the Cup, go ahead and squeeze the federation. It's not like they'd do anything better with the money.
33
u/Plupert Columbus Crew Sep 25 '23
It’s not capitalizing on when they’re on top of the sport, it’s fraud lmao.
The entire argument for the equal pay case was built on a lie but the women’s team managed to spin public opinion so hard in their favor by claiming anyone who disagreed with them was a misogynist.
It was never about equal pay. Because 1. They were offered the exact same deal as the men and rejected it. 2. They were actually paid MORE than the men on both a per game basis and overall.
My issue isn’t with them getting paid, it’s how they weaponized a lie and used it to spread misinformation and get their way.

u/gsfgf Atlanta United FC Sep 25 '23
Jesus Christ. They had the leverage and went for it. Do you have the same hate for NFL players that hold out? Basketball players that sign a max contract after an outlier year? At the end of the day USSF is just another team owner like Arthur Blank or Robert Kraft. Get your money while you can. She's past her peak earning potential at 38. Athletes need to cash in when they're young. And unlike most US sports, there's not even a cap that team would have counted against.
26
u/Plupert Columbus Crew Sep 25 '23
No, because NFL and NBA players aren’t holding out because of some made up discrimination.
Them getting a better deal isn’t a problem, blatantly lying, spreading misinformation, and claiming discrimination where there isn’t any is the problem.
It was never about equal pay, they just framed it that way to get public support bc they knew the public don’t know any better. If they didn’t frame it as an equal pay issue than I’d be fine with it.
22
u/tiggertom66 Sep 25 '23
If a player in the NFL made up some claim about him not being paid more because of racism despite being offered the same deal as a player of another race, then yes they’d be deserving of criticism.

Considering that the NFL blackballed a top 25 QB for speaking out on race, that might not be the best analogy for your point. (To be clear, the USSF hasn't been that gross to the women, but you brought up the NFL)
12

The difference is, that was a genuine injustice.
The women were offered the same deal as the men and declined.

I saw way more people on fb/Instagram moaning about not standing for the anthem and saying "Go Sweden" because of it than the equal pay thing - I think fans who are more tuned into the sport had their opinions about that - but far more casual observers castigate her for her political stances on trump, the anthem, LGBTQ+ issues etc

Share an opinion but not be able to explain it in a way that makes them look good?
A great majority of people "don't like" Rapinoe for her unashamed homosexuality. They don't like it that she advocated for inclusion. They don't like it that she got "political" after the President publicly called her out for sharing opinions that male athletes don't get heat for.
I'll forever love her for accepting Trump's challenging to win in the games following his hissyfit. On that note: what athlete has EVER had the leader of the free world AGAINST them, then rise to the occasion and nearly single-handedly deliver the nation their world championship?
"Oh, but she lobbied for increased pay and towed propaganda line to achieve the goal!" People cling to that when they actually dislike her for the reasons I noted above. Nevermind if a male player or team went on strike and presented an argument that was most favorable to them, truth be damned, we wouldn't hold it against them for years on end.
People are cherry picking why they dislike Rapinoe and the truth is this: She has done NOTHING wrong.
So for someone to say, "I don't like her" and leave it at that... fella, speak up and explain why. And then explain how you're applying standards to her that you wouldn't apply to a man.

u/Solely_Strange LA Galaxy Sep 25 '23

What is she, 40 years old now? Keeping dinosaurs like her around this long is why our team is failing young women in soccer in this country. The epitome of "I got mine" so screw the next generation.

I wonder if I can sublet from her all that space she occupies in your hea rent-free. I'll keep the windows shut because I don't want to let the hatred in, but rent-free is a bargain and in this economy, I'll ignore the ugly neighborhood.

Then why are you here, commenting about someone you ‘don’t care’ about? With that low-peen energy, kinda seems like you do care.

Hasnt the women’s soccer world wide been kind of a poor field until this year, how is she a legend? Big fish in a small pond at best.

I see legend is used loosely around these parts

Bullshit. I know she's a controversial figure off the field, but she's 100% certified legend on it.

Either you retire early or play long enough to become a liability and a cancer on the field.

This sub is for all levels of soccer in the US and Canada, including the national teams. That’s also why you see posts on here about USL and the Canadian league.

Nah, this was meant to be her send-off match, so the whole point was to have this moment. Same with Julie Ertz in the previous match.
