Funny Stuff Presenting the double standard in media and domestic violence - Page 6

:-)

It will be interesting to see how national media covers this story:

Natasha Howard, All-Star for WNBA's Seattle Storm, accused of physically threatening and abusing her wife, including with a knife. https://t.co/XmABwu3n0a

The Seattle Storm host the New York Liberty 4 pm PST on Sunday, and as of now, no action has been taken by the team. This is a deeply disturbing allegation and doesn't yet seem to be getting much media attention (not even on front page of https://t.co/zd7OlBdOU7 ).

The Seattle Times has posted this preliminary story for now: https://t.co/XmABwu3n0a

But for now, The Times has not demanded the Storm to cut/release Howard "if" these allegations prove true.

For those unaware, this is the 2nd domestic violence allegation in the WNBA in the last three months.

In late April, the LA Sparks' Riquna Williams was arrested for assaulting her ex partner. (Williams has played in 14 of the team's 15 games this year.)https://t.co/AGAB0POnan

Meanwhile, the @seattlestorm haven't yet decided if Natasha Howard will play tonight after being accused of DV by her wife. The WNBA is "in the process of gathering information."

Media didn't allow @Chiefs to "gather info" re: Tyreek Hill case and didn't care about due process. https://t.co/5Nh2spJdxY

The women can call it equal pay but it really isn't. The men under their CBA are less reliant on us soccer salary because they make far more money outside of us soccer than women do. The best in the world are paid very, very well. And if the men start winning, even though they earn a smaller % of world cup revenue they earn significantly more $s because the world cup grosses a shit ton more... When we make the actual tournament.

Long story short, the women undoubtedly made us soccer more than enough money this year to justify a pay raise. Equal pay gets them what they want, but men still get paid a whole lot more. Seems alright with me.

You are wrong...wrong, wrong, wrong...get over it. Try to actually understand the disparity in the revenue between the two sports.

Womens soccer = Mens High School soccer...they're overpaid.
