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 ).
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
If the dykes of women's soccer challenged the dykes of the WNBA to a naked jello wrestling match, I still don't think people would tune in...... [Reply]
She was very tall. Easily 6-3. Head like a St. Bernard. Tits like squirrel. Ass like a baboon. Neck like a lizard. Tongue like a ass. Fingers like a snake. Legs like a crocodile. Arms like a polar bear. Neck like a giraffe with gout. Back like a ox.She was harmless though. Totally sweet girl.

The difference is the tournaments are on different levels. Men's dwarfs it.
They also are cherry picking stats, the years posted for generating a million more dollars include two world cups and an Olympics. Men had the Olympics.
This shit is laughable, if they want more money they actually need to create more revenue and sell tickets that are more than free to 9 dollars.
I don't think they deserve equal pay. But they deserve a lot more $. You're relying on cherry picked stats too because a lot of those arguments that the USMNT brings in more credit the USMNT for World Cup revenue. Not even close to the same thing. US Soccer has a gigantic surplus and the men's team sure as shit hasn't done anything recently to justify getting any piece of that. They are most definitely underpaid. [Reply]
Also, Hope Solo was charged with domestic violence. Was suspended. If she wasn't representing the US in the World Cup that year it would've been longer. She was pretty controversial after that point. Most women athletes don't make headlines on this issue because there aren't many women athletes with a high enough profile for anyone to give a shit. [Reply]
