Women's Soccer

I've never, ever liked professionals in the Olympics, but with nearly ever single top Olympian with an endorsement deal of support, that ship has already sailed.

Now the U.S. Women's soccer team is threatening to strike before the next Olympics after talks have stalled with the World Organization about a  missing collective bargaining agreement.

WHAT!?!?

They say they want equality.

I don't even know what any of this means. IF you want to represent the U.S. in soccer, do it. If you don't, do something else. IF this IS your career, something is already wrong with the system. Being on a U.S. team in any sport should not be a full-time job year after year. There's something really wrong with that. Ban soccer from the Olympics. Individual teams from individual countries striking for better pay and more political power is against the very essence of a world-wide cooperative sporting event.

That's entitlement not patriotism.

Now let's all swim in the gulf down in Brazil and get really sick or die before the real Olympic athletes beat us to it.
