The US men's national soccer team is being subjected to the same kind of legalized plunder that defines too many divorce proceedings in this country.

After grinding through qualifiers, earning their spot in the World Cup, and generating the massive FIFA payout that only the men's game can produce ($12.8 million in this case), the players are now forced to hand over a huge chunk of that money to the women's team under the "equal pay" collective bargaining agreement.

The women didn't play a single minute of those matches, didn't draw the crowds, didn't sell the tickets, and didn't create the revenue - yet they still get a cut of the men's prize money while the reverse transfer remains a fraction. Yes the women are more successful (having won the Women's World Cup several times) but the prize is much smaller. Why? It reflects differences in global interest, sponsorship, viewership and actual performance.

This is all under the guise of "parity" between "equivalent work." But in reality, it's more like subsidizing one program with the output of the other, just like the ex-spouse cashing checks from earnings she didn't generate.

"Equal pay" sounds noble until you realize it erases differences in market value, risk, audience draw, and results. It disincentivizes excellence on the men's side (why push harder if your windfall gets redistributed?) and removes pressure on the women's side to grow their own commercial appeal.

Like divorce settlements that trap high-earners in perpetual support roles, this policy treats men's soccer as a piggy bank for "fairness," not a business rewarding what fans and sponsors actually value.

@nypost Take money from 1 group and give it to another... Sounds familiar.

Wait so @USWNT is a welfare program like @WNBA ?

After them being more popular than the men in the 90s (before they squandered their popularity by being activists and anti-American) I thought they could stand on their own 2 feet.

So is there a women’s sport not made up of welfare Queens? Is it only the men who can survive on their own merits?

@RNCResearch Imagine being taxed for driving your vehicle in your own neighborhood 🤦🏻‍♀️Welcome to my world.

[GayRepublicanDad @steant_pros]

@RNCResearch @RantyAmyCurtis It also taxes those of us who live in the area of the congestion zone. Every time I pick my daughter up at soccer I have to pay the tax for the luxury of going home. When I visit relatives in Queens, I pay just to go home. She screwed all of us.

🔥 WOW! President Trump just revealed that after he publicly threatened to cut off ALL TRADE with Spain today, Spain CAVED and cut a check for NATO

THAT’S how it’s done.

“Spain was VERY generous today. You know, I told them I'm going to stop trade.

What did Spain do today? They honored a request for LOTS of payments. And if they didn't, we wouldn't even talk to them.”

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP SAYS HE WANTS TO “CUT OFF ALL US TRADE WITH SPAIN IMMEDIATELY”

“I don’t want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, including visits.”

“We don’t have to trade with them. I don’t want to do any more trade with them.”

“Take it immediately. Don’t even talk to them.”

“Watch them come running back.”

“When they call up and say: ‘Please, please, we want to trade with you, sir.’”

“I want no business with them.”

EXCLUSIVE 🚨 Fort Worth, Texas - On June 27, 2026, at Trinity Pride Fest in Fort Worth, Texas, street preachers Richard Penkoski and David Grisham were subjected to multiple violations of their First Amendment rights while attempting to preach on public property.

Upon arrival, they were immediately met by Fort Worth police officers who blocked their access to the public street and sidewalk, threatening both men with arrest for trespassing if they entered the area. When Grisham reminded officers that he had previously sued the City of Fort Worth in 2014 over this exact issue - a lawsuit that resulted in a settlement and an official apology from the city - the officer dismissed the prior case, stating, “I don’t care, you can file whatever lawsuit you want.”

After being forced outside the barricades, the confrontation escalated as multiple officers allegedly threatened to cite the men based on the subjective reactions of attendees. A female officer stated they would be cited if they said anything “offensive.” When Penkoski responded that offensive speech is protected under the Constitution and is not a crime, the officer claimed it fell under disorderly conduct, stating, “Well, yes, that is the conduct.”

Another officer further confirmed that citations would be based solely on whether others were offended. When Penkoski asked whether calling a biological male a “male” would result in a citation if someone took offense, the officer responded that if he continued doing so and someone found it offensive, he would be cited. Penkoski also pointed out that he was deeply offended by half-naked men walking around children at the event, but the officer dismissed the complaint, responding, “There’s really not much I can do about that.”

During the encounter, Penkoski pulled up and directly showed an officer established U.S. Supreme Court precedent confirming that the government cannot prohibit citizens from accessing traditional public forums such as streets and sidewalks simply because a private group holds a permit. Although the officer acknowledged the information by responding, “Huh,” he continued enforcing the restriction. (This video will be in the thread)

As officers repeatedly pushed the preachers farther away from the event, David Grisham was ultimately issued a citation for “unreasonable noise.” When asked to explain what constituted unreasonable noise under the circumstances, officers were unable to provide a clear definition, vaguely suggesting it could involve “sticking a megaphone in someone’s ear” - which Penkoski states did not occur, as the megaphone was held at waist level - or simply offending people.

When the officers were asked how they justified suppressing the constitutional rights of Christians and veterans who fought for the country, they offered no meaningful objective explanation. As a veteran who was willing to die defending American liberties, Penkoski said he found it deeply alarming that a Christian preacher in modern America could be threatened with arrest and cited while standing on public property simply because his message offended those listening.
