The leftist women's World Cup team has made a lot of noise about wanting more pay, or pay that's equal to the men's teams, yet already the economics of the picture shows that they're actually overpaid.
This isn't something unfixable - more ticket sales, more team memorabilia revenue, more television watchers, more public interest would correct that easily, and it's clear that star players such as Megan Rapinoe know it.
Here's her statement to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, posted on Twitter:

Reminds me of the Eddie Murphy SNL skit where he performs as a reggae artist at an American Legion hall singing "Kill da white people, but buy my records first".

I just learned last night that my grandaughter has picked softball over soccer, made my day.

I do not watch any sporting event unless humility, gratitude, and true sports(wo)manship are on display. I choose not to watch or support the antics of spoiled, narcissistic brats.

The only thing I've bought this week is an Apollo 11 50th Anniversary cap. I will not be buying anything related to these women. Fifty years....can you believe it?

Get over it, honey, virtually no one cares about women's soccer. Or you.

Loud mouth lefties don't understand basic economic principles like supply and demand -- who'd a thunk it?

For an ideology that prides itself on “fairness”, the left refuses to accept the fact that they can’t have it both ways. You cannot flip off half of your potential marketing/fan base, and then cry foul that you don’t make enough money.

I thought it was a TEAM. Isn't there more than Rapinoe on the team. Why are no other players interviewed. Alex Morgan is the Co-captain. She is a lot better to look at even if she disparages the USA.

These professional sports players think they are some kind of heroes.
Perhaps the players listen too much to the sports announcers who make a living tagging along behind the players, yap-yap-yapping all the while.
The players forget that they are not heroes, they are performance cast members of an entertainment company.
The players forget that they must please and entertain the crowd if they want the crowd to give them their money.
If the players displeases the audience, the paying customers, then the players have failed to entertain them...... and the audience leaves...... and takes their money with them.
As for me, the only way I could care less about Association Football ("soccer"), more specifically women's soccer, and this vulgar 'Rap-A-Hoe' broad in particular, is if I made a conscious effort to ignore them..... but that's too much work.

Maybe these foul-mouthed pigs should learn a lesson from the thugs in the NFL. Keep your mouths SHUT about America and President Trump and try to understand...... YOU ARE NOT IMPORTANT!

An angry vegan lesbian badmouths my Pres and TV ratings for the sport nobody cares about take a dive. We'll have to fund a huge study to figure that one out.

They haven't learned the old rule that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Pay is related to revenue, ladies. Alienate half of your potential audience, purchasers; collect half of what you could be paid.

The problem with these women, and sports in general, is the celebrity syndrome. It's the same thing that happened to Hollywood. They begin to believe all the hype about themselves, pushed by a media that wants to sell copy, and forget that they are not better people than anyone else. They believe that their manufactured celebrity status entitles them to insult people with repercussions. They think we care enough about their personal animosities to overlook the insults. When we don't, we become the ones in the wrong. Suddenly, because of their celebrity syndrome, we become the better people!

I spit in their general direction, and not a chance I would do ANYTHING that would result in a benefit to these nasty, obnoxious, anti-American harpies.

The Dixie Chicks are not amused by a bunch of soccer playing women stealing their spotlight.

They play a boring children's game and complain bitterly about not being paid to do so.
Get an actual job, witches.
