In sports, the women are always crying about equal pay might want to first take a course in basic economics followed by a class in biology. While there are female athletes that can do things athletically that some men can’t do, feminists need to begin to understand that men and women are different. Men are naturally stronger and faster. Sorry, that’s just “the science.” Plus, more people frequent men’s sports than women’s sports. That’s just math.

And when a U.S. Women’s National Team special squad don’t even get to finish the first half of a match against male counterparts, the call for equal pay tends to lose some of its tenor.

Well, in case you missed it — and no one would blame you if you did — a U.S. Women’s team of former stars lost both games last Thursday in something called “The Soccer Tournament” against the North Carolina-based Say Word FC and the celebrity owned English football club, the Wrexham Red Dragons.

The $1 million tournament had special rules and only featured a 7-on-7 format that saw the eventual winner, Connecticut-based Newtown Pride FC.

For their part the U.S. women gave up 17 total goals in two games and scored zero. The game against Wrexham, which is owned by actors Ryan Reynolds (“Deadpool”) and Rob McElhenney (“It’s Always Sunny…”), was ended before halftime after the mercy rule was applied because Wrexham was up 12-0.

 

Look, normally I’d pile on even harder since there were so many in women’s sports — before the “men” took over — who cried about not being treated fairly when they were treated more than fair based on the aforementioned economics and ability aspect of things.

However, because this was basically an exhibition tournament with exhibition-level players, I’ll give them a bit of a break.

But the overarching point remains — men and women are different and men’s sports bring in revenue women’s sports can only dream of.
