Meh. I'll watch a bit of it, don't really care about all the protests.

They ran a piece on that Norwegian player, Ada Hegerberg, ...she's sitting out the World Cup for some protest-y reasons but it didn't seem like anybody was really clear on exactly what she wants changed. Equal pay was mentioned, but as several have pointed out, the endorsements for women's soccer just aren't what they are for the men's game.

Still, I'd rather watch women play soccer than men, because I'm not ghey
I don't believe you

This is something a closeted homosexual would say when unprovoked in a sad attempt to reinforce the false belief that
they are straight. You should just come out, bro.

Let's see, opening the playbook....

Ah, here it is.

If the USWNT lose, the message will be that they should stop complaining and concentrate on the game.
If the USWNT win, the message will be that nobody cares.

That should just about cover everything....

Specifically to Women's soccer, it is what it is... You can either appreciate it or not. Serena Williams is an awesome female tennis player, but would likely get slaughtered by the 100th ranked male... The game is a bit slower. Doesn't bother me... And to be fair, I have a daughter in travel soccer, so that probably helps shape my opinion...

To me, basketball is the sport where the Women's game is unwatchable, but to me that is due to the way basketball has been marketed here as more of a "Highlight Reel" sport and women simply cannot physically do what the men can....
Serena does nothing to draw me to watch womens tennis because I don't think she is attractive. I have watched attractive tennis players play. Same with volleyball and beach volleyball.

As to women's basketball, the lack of highlight NBA type of show crap makes the game better in my opinion. I don't watch NBA or WNBA.

It's hard for me to lose interest in this considering I have no interest in this

why do you need to be attracted to an athlete to watch them play?

Are you trying to ask me out or something???
Sorry if you’re confusing my support for an advance but I am not asking you out. It would be okay if I was though. Its okay that you are gay. You’re free to do gay things with gay men and not feel bad about it.

My interest in WWC has only increased after seeing what a dumpster fire the men's team is right now. Excited to watch a US team actually win tomorrow !

But you actually had to enter the soccer forum to find a thread about not liking a particular segment of soccer....

....Not as "special" as others, apparently.

(Eg. I don't like, nor watch golf, so I would never even click on the Golf Forum... Much less, go in qnd find a thread about not liking Tiger Woods and commenting within hypothetical thread about how I hate golf....)
I click on new posts. I couldn't give a fuck about the forums. So, yet again, you're special arent you.:dhd:

I'll watch it, Canada's one of the top teams so good interest there. I enjoy soccer of all forms so I'll be a viewer of the matches.
