So, the U.S. Women's soccer team won the Women's World Cup. I despise soccer, but would have been willing to tip my hat to the ladies had some members of the team, most notably the thoroughly obnoxious Megan Rapinoe, not marred the team's performance with bad sportsmanship, extravagant grandstanding, and gratuitous slurs against Donald Trump.
So, tell you what, ladies: why don't you do something really brave, like challenge the FC Dallas under-15 boys squad - you know, the guys who beat you in a scrimmage in 2017 - to a rematch?

I don't know if it's what they want, but what they'll always be known for (to me, anyway) is bitching about not being paid as much as the men, and not for being the best women's team in the world.
When women's soccer matches draw as many fabs as men's matches, then (we) can talk about matching salaries.
I'm not sure the "ladies" would much like the same arrangement the men get: the women get a $100,000 guaranteed minimum salary plus bonuses and whatever endorsements they can get. The men have no guaranteed minimum salary, but get much higher performance bonuses plus endorsements.
Fabs?
That's "fans" in Fatfinger language.
Fox's Jesse Watters explained this tonight. Great segment.
Find the clip of the team singing the National Anthem, and pay attention to the lady behind Rapinoe (first on the left on second row). She's singing loudly. Makes me smile.
