@EricBalchunas Soccer players are so awful at acting and it’s so obvious when they flop. It’s really quite something the culture has encouraged it over time and that there aren’t penalties given to the floppers.
For reference, this game went to triple overtime and Taurasi played 44 minutes with 33 fga. Caitlin played 29 minutes and had 18 fga
Caitlin played 29 minutes and had 18 fga 🤣🤣🤣
@JaimeLardis Chicken or egg thing… pay them more while not seeing any quality improvements hoping to take a carrot approach? I’d rather see game fees and getting contracted for more work with improved quality ratings.
“FIFA seems to understand, in a way that the WNBA doesn’t, that superstars don’t grow on trees. You don’t get endless chances to make friends with American sports fans—to grow your audience, to hook people on your sport. You get a window, and you have to find a way to jump through it before it closes.”
