I’m really TIRED of this narrative about the USWNT not looking like the team we know or the teams of the past…

When literally NO OTHER USWNT IN HISTORY HAS EVER HAD TO PLAY IN THE OLYMPICS DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC THAT’S LASTED FOR 1.5 YEARS! I know we all want normalcy and want to believe if anyone wouldn’t be affected by the trauma and stress of the pandemic (not to mention the trauma and stress of the US elections and an insurrection caused by a mad man running our country) then it’d be our super human athletes but that’s just not true or realistic.

ATHLETES ARE HUMANS TOO!

Simone Biles reminded all of us of that this past week, and I think we should all be extending a little more compassion and support to people in general but also athletes during these difficult times. We need to remember how amazing it is that ANY of these athletes were able to have the drive and determination to do what they needed to do to even make it to this year’s Olympics. How amazing it is that we’re even able to HAVE the Olympics in the midst of a global pandemic. Life is precious and uncertain and I for one am grateful for the USWNT and hope that they’re all prioritizing their mental and physical health and I want that to be happening more than I want them to win a gold medal.

For those who are feeling down, just know that there’s already a story of victory here for the USWNT regardless of if they win the next game or end up winning gold in the end. The main one being that Every player on the USWNT team is first and foremost ALIVE and the other being that they were even able to make it to the Olympics at all! It’s quite a feat that should be honored, recognized, and celebrated for the accomplishment that it is. It wasn’t easy for any of these players to train, find places where they could play soccer and keep themselves fit and ready to play for the Olympics during the pandemic…yet THEY ALL DID IT!

I’m inspired just thinking about it.

The journey each of these players took was often times difficult, filled with uncertainty, immense pressure, and stress…yet they STILL managed to do it and fought every step of the way to be here. Putting everything else aside, that’s something to be proud of and respect. The USWNT and it’s players have faced many challenges over the years, but the challenge of playing and training during a global pandemic is by far the toughest challenge in the history of the team. I for one am PROUD of the USWNT and the fact they are still fighting and trying even though it probably feels like the odds are stacked against them right now. It’s a victory in and of itself and we should all be celebrating and applauding that!

The Daily Show and the USWNT take on myths about the wage gap (and destroy a Fox News guest’s opposition to equal pay in the process).

U.S. Women’s Soccer Team’s Equal Pay Demands Are Dismissed by Judge

We are playing with fire, here. The Daily show’s video is from 4 years ago. 4 years. And you are saying to me that there is “no material issues of facts exists for trial”? Are you fucking kidding me? I don’t think so. There is plenty of it. You just don’t wanna see it cause money is blinding you.
