It's not about the organ

I don't have a problem with the unearthly pounding that the US Women put on Thailand. I understand the necessity of it, and though it was sad for Thailand, it is FIFA that bears the onus for this for the differential rule and for expanding the field to include teams like Thailand to begin with.
I do, however, have a problem with people like Jill Ellis and Abby Wambach who fall back on the old " Would you be criticizing a men's team if they won like this?" The answer is YES.
There is inequity between men and women in sports yes, but this tired line doesn' ALWAYS work. Save it so it matters when it does. 13-0 will always draw criticism.

How dare you criticize women criticizing men.

Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

Seriously. It's a one way street right? 13-0 is about three or four cans of whoopa@s. The US women have every right in the world to be pissed at US Soccer, but whatever criticism might be coming their way for this result isn't because they are women. In fact Lexi Lalas has been quite vocal in , rightfully, berating the men's team. It would be nice if someone told the ladies to own what they did without pretending they are being treated unfairly
