r00kieNot sure if she is a scam. She did play by the rules and get in. The rules though should be changed so that attention drunks like her don't do it again. Also if Disney makes a movie about her (think Eddie the Eagle) in 20 years I'll be unnecessarily pissed off.

FruitBootProSeriously man, people always be talking about equality and support for women's sports and then when a woman makes a joke out of a women's sport that struggles in popularity, they support her? Smh

GrandThingsStumbled on her Instagram recently and took some solace in realizing that she is an absolute NUTJOB
Titus69the PC cork school
BLandzYa you tell her Dolan. Take her to a gun safety course and everything. Make sure shes fully certified.
That way next olympics she can compete in pipe & biathlon. Great idea 👍🏼👍🏼

DolanReloadedHaha. They deleted my post because i went full /pol/ack on this swaney person.
isnt there an asterisk in the rules that says “thou shalt not encourage suicide of a person ***unless that person is Liz Swaney***.
well, if not, there should be an allowance made.
GrandThingsSee this is exactly why Liz Swaney sucks so fucking much, because people then make the jump to "see this is why women should actually get paid less". I think everyone on here agree's that the pay should be based off what you're bringing in, but attention whore's like her make an absolute mockery of REAL women's sport which in turn hurt all women trying to get the equal pay they deserve.
The US Women's Soccer team (the gender discrimination lawsuit currently underway) brought in MORE views and MORE revenue than the mens team, yes was compensated less on the basis that "it takes less skill, and the workload is less". That is such fucking bullshit yet here we are still laughing about women's sports.
I also just watched her run again god damn that was so much more cringe than I remember. For some reason I thought she at least threw a 3, or hit a wall switch. Fuck this chick to the end of existence.
dan38I agree with the first part of the argument but not with the Soccer section. As someone who's family is involved with the soccer federation and has followed that situation extensively your statement isn't true. The women's soccer is already OVERpaid, not the other way around.
GrandThingsOk so again - I'm not saying that they should be paid MORE or LESS, I'm saying they should be paid EQUAL to whatever percentage/cut the men get.. You are probably more informed on the situation, but I have found this info on a few different articles...
Per Yahoo Finance: "USWNT games generated more total revenue than the USMNT games from 2016 through 2018: $50.8 million in revenue vs $49.9 million for the men"
Not trying to be confrontation, genuinely curious, what part of my statement isn't true?
dan38So you have to remember that's the time when the women were making/winning the world cup and the men had missed it for the first time in three decades so naturally, they're going to pull in more money from GAMES because their games meant something. The men's team, however, performs much better overseas and does more traveling so they pull in more revenue overall and that before you even get into sponsors. The main problem in their argument lies in two places. One, the majority of both teams pay comes from FIFA bonuses which the men get more of because again internationally men's soccer pulls in more money. For comparison, the women's world cup generated 50million worldwide; the men's pulled in 5.4billion. So the bonuses for both the men and women's team are a percentage of this international revenue of which the men obviously benefit more from. The second fault in the women's argument is that THEY NEGOTIATED for the deal that they are now saying is sexist. They literally wrote it up... The reason they're paid less than the men in the deal, that again, they wrote is because they asked the US soccer federation to split there pay between international and club salaries. In the offseason, the men play in the MLS to make money as it's a self-sufficient league. The women's league has never been able to turn a profit (similar to the WNBA I believe) but in this case, there was no NBA to bail them out. So instead they asked the US federation to pay for both their international and club salaries with the international being reduced. This club league that allows them to play year-round against real competition is why we dominate and win every year because no other country has such a high-level women's league for them to train in year-round. Furthermore, the women's team was offered the SAME EXACT deal the men currently have (base salary being the same + FIFA bonuses out of US control) and they turned it down soooo.... And lastly, the comments you quoted about them being paid less because it "Requires less skill and commitment" was said BY A WOMAN so hard to see how that's being sexist.

GrandThingsOk yeah these are all really good points (especially the one that the women agreed to the contract, splitting pay between club and international level) I didn't realize that, and yeah that really handcuffs their argument. Just goes to show how easy it is to get swept up in a narrative.
I do still disagree with your last point tho, just because it was said by a woman, doesn't mean it can't be sexist.(I'm also having trouble finding who actually said this, just that it's listed in their counter filing?)
nosebutterpizzaAre the skis she has in the background of her videos the ones she tried to auction off?
P-wurpsLmao, must be. They're still up on ebay. What's even funnier is that she's listed them like a dozen times since the first auction and hasn't gotten a single bid in any of them.
