Women's soccer exposes Democrats mendacity

The first thing to realize is that very few people care about women's soccer. That's not sexist it's just reality.  It's similarly realistic to point out that very few people care for men's lacrosse or polo.

The reason that few care about women's soccer is that while the majority of the world loves soccer, a sissy version of football, the majority of the world also isn't interested that much in women's sports.

Yet the Democrats are complaining about how little money the women of the US world champion soccer team got compared to the men.

The first thing to note is that this shows how rich Democrat politicians are that they consider the $250,000 each player on the women's team will have made for winning the World Cup to be nothing.  The women on the teams total salary will be on the order of $400,000 with some making close to a million dollars this year.  That's not bad for playing a game.

The second thing to note is that Democrat politicians have no understanding of economics and/or are liars.  You'll often hear that the only reason that female soccer players make less than male soccer players is that they're women.  That's factually incorrect.

The reason that men make more than women is that men's soccer generates 54 times more in revenue than women's soccer.  The woman's World Cup brought in $73 million while the men's World Cup brought in $4 billion.

If anyone is underpaid it's the men.  The women got 13% of the total revenue while the men only got 9%.  Now there's sexist pay discrimination.  Yet Democrat politicians are saying that it's women who aren't paid well enough.

The third thing to note is none of the rich Democrat politicians, even "middle class" Joe Biden is now worth more than $10 million, has donated any of their ill gotten gains to help those poor suffering female soccer players who got "only" $250,000 for playing a game.  Instead the Democrats are demanding that the people who run soccer, it's a business, pay more of their money to the women.

That's the core of the modern Democrat politics; use political power to force other people to give away their money to people who will vote Democrat.

If in fact the Democrat politicians really felt that the America's female soccer players were underpaid and they really cared about women they'd kick in some of their own wealth to help them. But just as with illegals and the poor Democrat politicians never give their own money to help those in need; they just raise taxes on we the people--who give lots of our own money voluntarily to help those in need--and then claim credit for themselves.
