I remember when the girls were winning the world soccer cup. At the time, the highest american player was making $100k. Some girls, women, the best in the world are making $35kin America.

I feel sorry for the girls being in this position and going to the Olympics. I hope they win the case and don't need to make personal sacrifices to get the money they deserve now. They are getting old.

The men play on grass and they make the women play on astroturf. Their career could end in an instant.

These women are the role models you want for your girls. Why is this even an issue?

Well spoken.....

If you had followed the link you would know that Women's soccer made 20 MILLON dollars more than that sucky team we sent to Brazil.

Or is it only those little blue pills you need!

They still can't beat the mens team. In ANY sport. There'd be no women in sports without women's sports.

Does it make you feel more feminine to bash on men?

If you took care of yourself, didn't let yourself go, maybe someone would be interested enough in you to not need the "help".

Guest 03-31-2016 10:32 PM

So, women aren't paid equally for female sports. I am sure that Hillary will generate a lot of votes for that cause. Other than sports, there really isn't any pay disparity in women performing the same jobs as men. Time to move on. I realize that liberals insist on protesting and demonstrating for all kinds of discrimination, but what is funny is what are they going to do once that becomes a moot point? They are running out of issues. About the only thing left is their idea that they deserve to share in someone else's earnings. That those that earned their wealth while they were playing, don't deserve to keep what they earned. That they should share it. And the funny thing is that they want the gov to take the wealthy's money. And they will never see a dime of it. The only distribution they will see is from those that earn it to the hands of the gov. So that they gov can waste it away frivolously as usual and ask for more.

Does anybody but me wonder why these so called unacceptable conditions have been just fine up until recently?

I think the focus on a false equality is driving all of this type activity.

Once upon a time women were not even in the game for many reasons. One being a woman. Then it was decided to let them in with differing conditions like surfaces, rules, and yes pay.

No problem for many years. And now why???

And if they were to be 100% subjected to the same conditions, rules and pay and could not for reason of being a woman; the cry then would be about the unfairness of conditions for a woman to compete.

For those who are activists and staunch supporters of woman's equality....at some point reality will return and acknowledge their are major differences between a male and a female. Like it or not there are some things a woman's body just was not designed to do.

Any woman who can do 100% of what a man does in sports, business or other then let that woman be compesated and acknowledged accordingly. Do not jump up and down to try to convince the world all women are created equal is about as non senical as trying to convince the world all men are created equal. When it comes to physical and mental and many other capabilities......they just are not.

Once again a minority representation is trying to make their case appear to be a general condition.

This is ALL still...women's soccer. Or women's basketball. If these women went head to head with the men they'd be slaughtered.

You are NOT men, so stop trying to be one!

You just make fools of yourselves when you cry and moan about how unequal everything is. You're just not as good at that as men are. We were MADE to run and chase, so you could stay home and teach the children. It's what we need to start doing again.

Who made that rule? How are you going to explain the transgenders/gender benders? What responsibility will you give to them? Entertainment perhaps?

No explanation is neccessary for the isolated wanna be confused.

There is no responsibility required for the isloated wanna be confused.

No they are not entertaining in any way shape or form.

We have spent more time already than appropriate for the subject.

OMG a neanderthal! I thought they were extinct! But here you are in The Villages. The fact there are more women than men 50.8% of US population. Since the equal rights and protection laws we have grown in status, business and wealth. Your kind cannot stack the deck against us and keep us barefoot and pregnant.

That's why you are voting to "Make America Great Again"!

White males are no longer in total control.

You just described WHY we need the "Make America Great Again" reforms! Women, with their liberal ways, need for security, and welfare loving ways, have totally screwed up a once great nation. We are divided, broke, and turning 3rd world. Hope you liked your run. If it all falls, I'd sure hate to be a woman. You have one use to most men, and in another "dark ages", it'll be your only worth. Hope it doesn't collapse in your lifetime. This country is beyond bankrupt, it spends a $trillion more than it takes in every year. The height of a stack of 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) one dollar bills measures 67,866 miles. This would reach more than one fourth the way from the earth to the moon. It would circle the earth more than 2.5 times. Remember, that's stacked one on top of the other, not end to end. 67,866 miles of stacked paper...that's a LOT.

Tell me again how great we're doing compared to the "neanderthal 1950s". Women are debt slaves too, they HAVE to work, their kids are all screwed up because 3rd worlders are raising them, everything costs more and all the good jobs are gone, but gay people can marry.

I am a woman and I have no debt! I came into the workforce in 1973 Nixon was president there were wage freeze's mine was frozen at 3.10 per hour. A college grad in the medical field. Over the next few years I worked my way up to Chief Tech of the Laboratory only to have my wages frozen at that level. After 2 years of that I took a job at the same level of pay but with a way forward. After 20 years I was making $50.00 plus overtime.

Now tell me again how great the 1950's were, my mother was a nurse she made $3,000 a year, I made >100K.

I doubt he lives in the Villages. His house would have been burned down a long time ago. We do have some trolls and agitators from all over the place on here. I'm sure he is harmless. His caretaker will be along shortly to give him his meds, I'm sure. He probably hasn't kept current on his AA meetings. His last one attended was probably thirty years ago.

Actually, I don't think he was referring to wages when he was screaming about going back to the 50's. But, I do know where you are coming from. You are proof that we have come a long way when it comes to equal pay. The issue here is whether or not equal pay is still a viable point, or if it is moot. Hillary is attempting to gain female support by alluding to women not making the equivalent pay for the same job. And I believe that this premise is no longer valid or rare today. Sports is a different matter. In my opinion and the opinion of my wife, Hillary is insulting females with her attempt to pander to the females, pander to the youth and pander to the minority. She seems to think that women and minorities are not interested in how she plans to encourage or stimulate the economy, exterminate terrorism and repair all the racial damage that has occurred during Obama's reign.

Why do you always think a responder is a man? I am not. I have had a house in The Villages since 2008. When I retired 2 years ago we sold our house in Colorado and moved full time to The Villages. However, after 1.5 summers here we decided we were NOT going to make it as FROGS so we purchased a condo in Colorado for the summer. We leave tomorrow for the Women's Final Four and then in late April for the mountains.

I am NOT a troll and I don't drink

Both of my houses are mortgage free..... I worked hard and saved just as hard.

Explain that in regards to the World Champion Women's Soccer Team....

Did they not play hard, did they not play more games than the men in the World Cup, did they not win more money than the men?

Actually all of that is true so how are they coveting their neighbors goods?

A wait your answer.

I say fight back.

I prefer the players be cooperative and positive, but that sometimes it's necessary to be confrontational when the other side is treating you unfairly or trying to take advantage of them.

The risk is that you'll make a bad situation worse, and I certainly don't recommend this approach to everyone. In my experience is that if you're fighting for something you believe in — even if it means alienating some people along the way — things usually work out for the best in the end.

This goes BOTH ways my dear... I think I'm being treated unfairly with diversity and affirmative action. I'm "fighting back" because I believe in NO quotas or affirmative action. I'm definitely alienation people along the way. But hopefully, we'll someday take our country back from the 3rd world parasites invading it now. The women who want to be men who are lowering all the standards.

It goes both ways. You fight FOR something and there's someone else fighting AGAINST it. Neither should be silenced, yet that's what you want to happen to me, silenced.

Trump says that he prefers to be cooperative and positive, but that sometimes it's necessary to be confrontational when the other side is treating him unfairly or trying to take advantage of him.

"The risk is that you'll make a bad situation worse, and I certainly don't recommend this approach to everyone," he writes. "But my experience is that if you're fighting for something you believe in — even if it means alienating some people along the way — things usually work out for the best in the end."
