How the US greets its champions versus how the UK greets theirs

You have to be dead to be on the U.S. currency.

This is actually a Federal law.

You are not allowed to use bang and woman in the same sentence that is sexist.

sexism is what gets the population going and secures our continued existence

Ahh my mistake, disregard everything I just wrote then since I'm obviously unqualified for this highly intellectual discussion. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

is that for him to realise that this is about the LADIES team ?

He knows that. You should read what was being talked about before commenting since you don't know what his comment was in reference to.

Nobody even watches soccer in the US- I had no idea that this shit even took place.

There are quite a lot of people that watch "soccer" in the USA. YOU are not representative of anything, so to try and speak for everyone based on your severely limited awareness on what is going on in the world is really not warranted.

BTW - we have a black president in the US, just in case you "had no idea this shit even took place."

I'm not sure what social value soccer players have, for people to feel that they deserve a spot on federal currency...was that a serious suggestion? Also, wasn't Hope Solo in the news recently for domestic violence issues?

Nobody is seriously considering changing currency to honor some soccer players, sure as hell not in the US where soccer is barely a thing. The point was the difference between "our players are the best in the world, we need to honor them!" and "seasons over, back to being mothers."

Why would we say "our players are the best in the world, we need to honor them!" when they didn't win, that's just patronizing

So it's okay to say it about one group of people, but not another? /facepalm

Troops are typically seen as away from home sometimes doing dangerous things. There is more sentimentality there.

Did you feel smart making your sarcastic comment? I mean you understand exactly what's being said here, but you're pretending you don't, for what purpose?

Are your feelings hurt? Do we need to change some laws for you?

That was actually very funny. lol

What are you even talking about? How would you get feelings hurt form that comment. It's clear my comment is asking comprehension is being abandoned in exchange for silly retort.
