Feminist Gangsterism Helped The US Women's National Team Get The Bag
The United States National Women's Soccer team is analogous to Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberly Elise from the 1996 box office hit Set It Off.
Pinkett, Latifah, Fox, and Elise robbed banks to subsidize their low-paying janitor jobs. The US Women's National Soccer team used the racquet of equality to line their pockets.
In an announcement met with great fanfare, the US Men's and Women's National Soccer teams agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement. The deal makes the US the first country where men and women get equal pay in the World Cup tournament.
The Blue Check Brigade on Twitter could not contain their excitement.
Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) used the announcement to make a political statement:
An incredible win for the World Cup-dominating @uswnt — but we can’t stop here.

Let this announcement by @USSoccer propel us forward as we work to close the wage gap for ALL women and guarantee equal protection under the law.https://t.co/u3imZGxouL
Joy Taylor of Fox Sports tweeted:
So it IS possible. Never settle for less than you DESERVE. Congrats USWNT! 💪🏽 https://t.co/sUUeqvjLIw

New York Times editor Lindsay Crouse:
Never forget that US Women’s soccer had to be world champions multiple times to finally be paid equally.

And, of course, the queen bee herself, Michelle Obama, threw in her two cents:
I'm so proud of the talented players of @USWNT who worked tirelessly for years to advocate for the pay they deserve. I'm thinking of all the little girls everywhere who dare to dream and will see this team as an example of what's possible when you never give up. 👏🏾

The former First Lady is known for gender pay gap falsehoods. Every March 15th, which has been dubbed Equal Pay Day, symbolizing how far into the year women have to work to earn what men did the previous year, Michelle Obama perpetuates the myth that women only make a fraction of every dollar a man gets. Sometimes the number is 82 cents, sometimes 75, sometimes 86. She peddles this lie despite left-wing, pro-Democrat news sites like the Huffington Post and CBS, pro-women blog sites like the Fiscal Femme, and her husband's Department of Labor debunking the claims.
Megan Rapinoe and her soccer clique used corporate gangsterism to bully the US Soccer Federation into giving them more money.
Gangsterism is the practice of using organized violence or deviant tactics to achieve one's goals.
Asian mobs gained influence and riches in the 1800s through illegal drug trade, racketeering, prostitution, and counterfeiting of money and goods. They paid off politicians and other important dignitaries to turn a blind eye. Likewise, the Italian gang called Banda della Magliana had ties to high-ranking Italian government officials and masonic grandmasters. They used horserace betting schemes, kidnapping, and false-flag terror attacks to gain power.
The USWNT took a page from one of the most notorious mafias in recent history, the BLMLGBTQ Mafia, to con their way to getting the bag: the exploitation of men.
FIFA World Cup bonus money is generated from television rights deals, corporate sponsorships, and ticket sales. Each gender group split the money among the teams. To put it plainly, revenue generated from the men's tournament is divided amongst the men and likewise for the women. The men's teams have generated over $400 million for the 2022 World Cup. The women generated $60 million.
Thanks to this new deal, the women literally took money out of the men's pockets while enjoying better healthcare benefits. This would be the equivalent of NBA players giving WNBA players some of their playoff money.
"...at the end of the day, the guys came together and said, 'This is what we need to do to get a deal done and this is how we can grow the game collectively,'" says USMNT player Walker Zimmerman.
Last week, Clay Travis of OutKick appropriately asked why the men's soccer team agreed to take less money.
Athletes spend most of their time honing their physical abilities. Understandably so. That is how they make their money. Unfortunately, the downside to their physical gifts is many of them do not hone their intellect. I do not intend for this to be a dumb jock argument, but I have to call it like I see it.
In 50 Cent's book Hustle Harder Hustle Smarter, he details his foray into the boxing world with his promotion company SMS Promotions. He noticed how many boxers get fleeced of their money by crony business partners. "Boxing isn't like other professional sports where there is a league overseeing the business side of things. If you're an NBA rookie and hire a crappy agent, you're still gonna get paid. The same with the NFL...It's not that boxers are dumb. Fighting requires a tremendous amount of mental focus...Boxers have to pour everything they have into what happens in the ring. They just don't have the bandwidth to focus on the details outside of it."
To a degree, the same can be said for other sports. An athlete spends countless hours a week training, practicing, resting, watching film, rehabbing from injuries, dealing with family and friends, and trying to have a social life. As a result, that leaves little time to stay abreast of other issues. This is why many do not understand the hypocrisy of the NFL's "End Racism" campaign. Or why Colin Kaepernick's claims of him being oppressed ring so hollow. This explains why LeBron James has not gotten past the first page of Malcolm X's autobiography.
Many US men's soccer players may not know the women's pay gap argument is a complete sham. That is the blissful ignorance the US women's players (and their handlers) exploited.
The men did have higher gross revenue, but the women had a higher net revenue. According to CBS, the 2015 men's team received 9% of the money generated from the 2010 Men's World Cup. The women received 13% of the Women's World Cup money. However, because women generate lower television ratings and less revenue, their take-home amount is less than the men.
Thanks to the new collective bargaining agreement, the women will now take home millions of dollars more off the backs of the men.
The most visible US Women's soccer player, Megan Rapinoe, is not a stranger to strongarm tactics. Her former teammate, Hope Solo, accused Rapinoe of trying to bully other teammates into kneeling for the National Anthem. She also testified in front of Congress about equal pay "rights."
Rapinoe made a name for herself by doing what so many leftists did: bash President Trump. In 2019, after the US Women brought home the bronze medal from the Tokyo Summer Olympics, she proclaimed she would not visit the White House under the Trump Administration.
Rapinoe is Cleo from Set It Off. She emboldened her crew to run into the bank guns blazing and make off with the money. I can't even say I blame them. The loudest mouth is the one that gets fed. I am disappointed how the men gave them the money and balled up into a fetal position.
