  1. I agree but the other side of the argument is that the men's game should subsidies the women's game to give them time to have a chance to catch up. The WNBA wouldn't be around if it wasn't for the money they were given by the NBA. The problem with any women's soccer league is there isn't enough revenue with the MLS to ever consider that option when it comes to soccer in the US. It seems the same argument happened the last couple of world cups after the buzz of the women's game at it's peaks. A league gets formed games are played and attendance is OK for awhile and then drops off, without a large TV partner like ESPN to drop a shit ton of money for rights a new women's league has no shot of ever having enough time to show profitability. However people will say look at women's and men's tennis as an example where they are about as close to equal pay and viewership as any men's/women's sport could be. Like a lot of things everybody thinks the answer is super easy when in reality it's complex as fuck and has a million different factors that Mr. or Mrs. Twitter fingers never thinks about for a second.
  2. All episodes are on my DVR go ahead and delete then?
  3. failed superman is for sure a oh fuuuuuuuuuck moment.
  4. Well when everything comes out it will be pretty clear to see she was put in a no win situation at least based on the guys she (producers) kept around. The show is so full of wannabe instagram fame whores that it's impossible to know who really is there for the right reasons. (Holy shit I can't believe I just typed that).
  5. There is nothing that gets my blood boiling more than my wife doing things in the morning that she doesn't need to do that will make her "late" for work that I or my sons could have done and somehow it becomes my fault she is now behind in getting ready for work.
  6. This seems to happen every season. Those that watch the feeds always have different favorites then what they show on TV. And if you don't know why Jack is getting a great edit than you don't know how TV (reality TV specifically) works. JC (the little person) last year did a shit ton of stuff that if anyone else did they would have been booted from the house immediately but was never shown on TV. Including a ton of borderline sexual harassment/assault that BB just swept under the rug. They let it slide because he was good for TV.
  7. He's going to have bigger problems. Slut shamming her on national TV isn't going to go over well. He was the last of the 4 to get his overnight date and doesn't quite go about it the right way while discussing his feelings on the topic with her.
  8. So we've got that going for us which is nice......................
  9. I disagree with "it has nothing to do with coaching" unless you are talking about only the national team coach. Youth leagues and programs want banners and medals to advertise to parents so they continue to pay the high fees. It isn't about development it's about winning because that's the American way. The result is teams/players that can't pass for shit but have a few kids that are quicker than everybody else who runs circles around the opposition and wins. Then when they get older and crack an international team or play better competition those same players are invisible because they can't find open space or have teammates with no first touch who can't string a couple of passes together. It's just crazy that they can't see the forest through the trees. We aren't talking about 20 years ago the fact that those at the top can't figure it the fuck out and they need to concentrate on ball skills, spacing, etc over scoring goals is just fucking criminal. The US has plenty of talent and resources to compete at the world level they just continue to make the same fucking mistakes over and over again.
  10. Will Ferrell ad libbed this in Blades of Glory.
  11. Agreed, great for the women not so great for men who don't play Basketball or Football.
  12. I am still watching but holy shit is it seem slow as shit. And Junior might be the biggest dumbass of all time.
  13. Everyone is trying way too hard.
  14. Yep. As pointed out before the youth system is designed to make money and win not develop talent. Jozy and Bradley should never be on another roster. Turn the page.
  15. Yeah, I am going to need to go home and change my shorts on that one.
  16. We still have rules here.
  17. The quality of women's soccer has gone up dramatically in the last decade. I am not saying I would pay to go see a match but I would have never watched a game that didn't involve the USWNT 10 year ago where now I have a few times. The argument on the other side is the NFL, MLB, NBA, etc didn't start off with great ratings or money pouring in at the beginning. For a women's league anywhere to be successful long term it's going to need deep pockets to allow the sport to develop. Not sure anyone is willing to put up the money to do that without some sort of quick return on investment. Unless sponsors see the women's game as a potential growth to their business they will be fighting an uphill battle. Hell look at Women's tennis a sport that is about as close as you can get to being even on the male and female side.
  18. Plus you can crank this up on the stereo-
