She's chasing $$$$ by hoping to get in the good graces of ad people and companies that are socially left wing progressive. Not unlike that Kappernick troll.

They actually work for it, unlike the nobody trolls pounding on their keyboards.

Not angry so much as being a fierce competitor. She arrives expecting to win, and won't accept anything but winning.

It's short sighted.

Endorsement contracts need playing time, upset enough people in the sport and watch a promising career ended by injury.

There's a reason most of the world's best soccer players are good if not exemplary sportsman. It's hard to deliberately injure a person who you respect on and off the field. If it's someone who's a complete jerk, for all they're great players, then a risky challenge isn't an issue.

Thing I think is funny is the complete lack of comprehension about the Dutch, European Sportswomen, and behavior expectations. Dutch women are no shrinking violets clutching at pearls, unless the pearls are wrapped around some guy who p**sed them off, suggesting they're shrinking violet, neck where they'll be clutching them while pulling on them with their foot right between the poor guys shoulder blades. Shrinking violets... that's funny.

And she phoned you and told you this? Or are you just making it up to denigrate and diminish her?

Sore losers. Maybe they and Al Gore should start a support group.

The only people interested in woman's world cup are ten-year old girls who haven't been noticed by the boys and 16 year old girls who want to be noticed by other.....girls.

They have title 9 and they thinks that forces people to care about slow, boring women’s sports.

Who would have thunk there were 14.3 million 10 and 16 year-old-girls in the United States? Must be that "new math" that those red states use to get their citizens edjumucated.

Should we all be paid based on how hard we try?............ No. The low paid social worker tries just as hard to do his job as the high paid engineer.
And that has what to do with anything?

They have excelled within the strictures of their sport. They won the championship.
They didn't just try.
They did.

Does the fact that male basketball players only play against other men diminish their accomplishments when Team A wins the championship?

How about football or baseball players? Are their wins lessened because they only compete against other men?


As for the rest, has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.
