Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

Spurs lost?!

It was predictable after they beat Man City

 

[African_brehda]

Man is basically calling out Levy to sack him.


Spurs

Conte is FED UP.

Leeds or Everton going down.

Sponsors were pressing them.

US Soccer should be investigated by the Feds. That equal pay stuff was only one issue.

Leeds I can see. Everton nah, they’ll stay up. The loss of Bamford was big to Leeds. As were other injuries.

But what’s the word on sponsors pressing the USSF, why did they care? What other issues are / were there that you know of?

I’m all for equal pay for equal work / proportional to income, but some efforts are actually asking for a subsidy from one side of the house.

The AU Open has the same purse for men and women but women play the best of 3 sets compared to men best of 5.

That isn’t quite equal work

The Women named them in their lawsuit.

The USWNT's lawsuit against U.S. Soccer has “brightened the spotlight on the women’s team” and along the way has “prompted sponsors to go to unusual lengths to publicly support the women -- despite being a sponsor of the U.S. Soccer Federation overall,” according to Rachel Bachman of the WALL STREET JOURNAL. Two sponsors, Coca-Cola and Visa, “made the plaintiffs’ witness list for the women’s case,” and a Coca-Cola exec was “scheduled to testify via video deposition on the company’s 'commitment to the WNT, the popularity of the WNT in the eyes of Coca-Cola, and the drive to sponsor the USSF because of the WNT,’ according to a March court filing.”

USSF Could Face Issue As Sponsors Sided With USWNT In Lawsuit

USSF is sloppy and begging for the Feds to come in. Since everything is in one pot and the men have been basura for a decade now, it made their case easier. Especially with the women winning the World Cup.

Everton are managed by Frank Lampard and he has no clue what to do. That's 90% of the reason I'm not sure about them.

Conte asking to be sacked, knew it would implode but not this quickly.

The equal pay stuff?

Yea

Tennis is different. I think women tennis players when Williams sisters were at the top of their game was bringing in a lot ratings/money via sponsorship.

US soccer man benefits from international tournament where top world soccer players are playing so they get bigger money bc the mens game is way more valuable. It’s sucks that US women soccer is exceptional at thei job and the womens game is not as valuable but business is business.

Tennis players are paid by hourly rates?

Mané with at least 10 goals in the Prem the last 8 seasons. Consistent

Also, I peeped when Salah scored his 2nd PK. When Mané came to congratulate him, Salah's face went serious AF, still salty from that AFCON final

USSF Could Face Issue As Sponsors Sided With USWNT In Lawsuit

USSF is sloppy and begging for the Feds to come in. Since everything is in one pot and the men have been basura for a decade now, it made their case easier. Especially with the women winning the World Cup.

So if I understand this right, the sponsorship dollars the USSF received they placed in one pot and allocated to both the Men's and Women's as they saw fit, rather than asking for both women's and men's sponsorship dollars. Yea that's messy.

Tbf to the USSF argument, the quality of play in the Men's WC is far far higher than the Women's WC. I remember Thailand getting blown out 13-0 by the USWMNT last WWC. I think like half of the Thai players were like semi-pros.

I highly doubt you'll find a single player in the Men's WC that isn't a full time pro (maybe Iceland, maybe).

It is what it is.
