Has anyone even read the decision?
Most of the articles are leaving out some relevant facts, including that the USWNT was paid more per game.
The women played 111 games and made $24.5 million overall, averaging $220,747 per game. The men played 87 total games and made $18.5 million overall, averaging $212,639 per game.
Even though women’s bonuses were lower, they received other benefits under their collective bargaining agreement that did not apply to men. The women received guaranteed annual salaries, bonus pay and other fringe benefits. The men, on the other hand, were paid under a pay-to-play model, which doesn’t pay players unless they participate in a training camp or make a particular roster.
And although the women would have been paid more if they had been operating under the men’s contract, the opposite was also true; the men would have been paid more if they had been operating under the women’s contract.

Sure they need to honor the current contract and then renegotiate...
But
Women and their work have been intrinsically undervalued for all of history. The idea of parity is new, and will take decades to correct. I don’t blame any women for becoming infuriated at the injustice of that.
That has nothing to do with this case. They were a bunch of whiny brats trying to renegotiate their contracts through the media with deceitful tactics. Such a nasty, entitled lot.
I've yet to meet a person who uses phrases like this to describe other people that is a kind and generous person worth spending time with. Regardless of how warranted the accusation is.
OMG, get a thicker skin. Did you miss the thousands of nasty comments (warranted) about Cadet Bonespur?

Biden is a pandering clown issuing empt threats without any knowledge of the facts and trying to wiggle out of his creepy, touchy, rape-y old guy image and curry favor by publicly backing what he mistakenly believes to be an avatar of female sentiment in this country. The guy really is losing it.

Bad behavior should be called out. Deal with it.
There are ways to call out bad behavior in way that doesn't scream that you're a cruel judgmental bigot. The words 'nasty' and 'entitled' are dead giveaways. Like I said, it doesn't really matter whether its true, the language says something about the speaker that is also true regardless of the target.
Different strokes, different folks. Some people deserve judgment without silly euphemisms. Your softness is what is killing America.
