    All I know is that their players were complaining a few years back that the Copa America was taking away from their (WC) spotlight because the Finals were played so close together.

    Now I think they are happy the Gold Cup took the spotlight away from them because everyone is focused on the men instead of their lackluster Olympics.

    After that game I think I've solved the equal pay issue. Have the current USWNT players with guaranteed salaries and benefits play the USWNT under-23 side that won't get guaranteed salaries and benefits since they aren't senior team lifers.

    The roster doesn't turnover until they lose either of those tournaments, so it's really just the circle of life.

    Beyond the obvious USSF failures in aspects like field conditions and travel where the US Women have won, the key factors for the US Women's continuing case have been exploiting both the weakness of the US Men since 2015 and right-wing cultural insanity, in order to get a greater than 50-50 chunk of the pie.

    There's nothing more American than the business opportunism on the second factor. But the first factor is treading into dangerous territory, and it only really worked at the nadir of the US Men's fortunes. Because in normal circumstances, I and many other fans will seethe with anger if one team's argument is premised on the failure of the other team.

    I hope we see a tactical retreat from the US Women heading into the next CBA negotiations.

    So, will USSF hold a "Victory Tour" for the USWNT if they win the Bronze medal? Without the victory tour, the women surely won't make more than their male counterparts will, right?

    Kind of ironic that the US Men go out and win the Gold Cup using a team comprised mostly of MLS lifers and kids, without their most talented players beating their biggest rival in the process (who fielded a very strong team). A few hours later the USWNT loses out on Gold Medal contention in the Olympics in the semifinals. Everyone is talking about the men, while there's not much chatter about the women's loss.

    :cautious:.......o_O ...... No one watching the USS Rapinoe Rapineers these past few years would see anything "right-wing cultural" in their insanity..... now their love of money and lust for power/influence was certainly there, but as the fascinating politics of our current era keeps shouting at us, it's something quite universal, and sure ain't about being "right wing".
    By the way, your main point, on the USWNT's destructive attack against the USMNT, is very good. Just your side comment left me in need of a tall cup of Irish Coffee....:coffee:

    When your entire job is playing on a soccer team whose sole purpose is play to our Nationalistic tendencies to generate tv ratings for money, alienating an embarrassingly large % of potential eyeballs seems pretty short sighted if you are chasing bigger TV checks.

    Yeah saying that an openly gay woman fighting for equal pay for women is right wing cultural insanity..........the OP lost me there too. There's absolutely nothing right wing about that.

    Anyways, should be interesting going forward. I wonder if the US Soccer Media will ask the tough questions? Will they ask about bringing in younger players, squad rotation, NWSL commitments, raising salaries in NWSL, etc...???

    I took it to mean trying to leverage right-wing overreaction to the feminist aspects of their lawsuit; banking on that overreaction being so over-the-top that it would drown out reasonable, fact-based objections to the hypocrisy of that argument.

    Anyone have any idea what the Nation’s league and gold cup wins means to bonuses/additional revenue on the balance sheet for USMNT?

    Any Olympic third or fourth place tours planned?

    And are the men willing to split their GC prize money?

    I know this is facetious, but what DO the criminals who head CONCACAF manage to drip to the winners of their flagship tournament? I don't think I've ever seen the rewards discussed.

    It would seem that the women have missed their window, and that the CBA that they had bargained for is now going to make them look very foolish. Of course the way the press chooses to spin this will have much to do with how the public reacts...

    The USWNTPA appears to have a very effective propaganda arm.

    You mean the 2017-21 CBA?

    There's no prize money for the Olympics.

    It helps when you have a media which is generally more interested in narratives than investigative journalism.

    Lol what a joke. The TV deals have got to be somewhat large given the high-ish ratings in Mexico and the US.
