You’re just bitter. You probably live in your mother’s basement and you’re a 35 year old virgin.
Only explanation.
The women don’t compete against the men.
If they did, the men would win every event save for gymnastics and synchronized swimming.
While I do love US women’s soccer, their results are fairly predictable considering how much funding they receive in comparison to other nations. (and considering how well-developed the US girls’ soccer circuit has become)
The US women’s team often plays Latin American national teams that have (literally) ZERO funding from their national sporting organizations and zero corporate sponsorship, as well.
If the US fails to win gold in certain womens sports, then Title IX should be struck down. The advantage it currently bestows is practically unfair.
One gets the feeling that many of the women’s gold medals are to help US Broadcasters get better ratings given how disproportionately they pay for Olympic broadcast rights.
I know it wont, but MAYBE it will shut them up to have another fake feather to put in their collective cap. Individually, I’m happy for any athlete who wins a medal. regardless of how tough the competition is, they won the competition. Now feminists lording it over men, meh, the women golds stand no chance against men in the same competition. except for maybe sports like archery or shooting. They love to win over men indirectly however they can manage. the old multitasking, pain threshold bits come to mind. I remember once, back in the 90′s, during some discussion i was having with a feminist, about what i don’t remember. The woman made a statement that “pound for pound women are stronger than men”. My reply, well pound for pound plywood is stronger than steel, but ya don’t see em making tanks out of it. she lost interest in making her point after that.
Canadian men’s soccer team: failed to qualify for World Cup (since 1986) or Olympics(since 1984)
Canadian women’s soccer team: qualified for the world cup and won Bronze in Olympics, nearly beating the Gold medal team in semi-finals.
I guess Canada is now considered a soccer powerhouse.
A modest proposal: Since we’ve been hearing for decades how womyn can do anything men can, and do it better, let’s do away with gender divisions in sports…. Let men and womyn compete directly for the same spots on the same teams. Let the womyn send their finest athletes against men in track and field, boxing, wrestling, judo, basketball, soccer, etc. Once this is accomplished we can enjoy our Olympics free of second rate athletes of a certain, unspecified gender. Or perhaps the feminazis, in their refusal of direct competition against men, are (silently) ceding the point.
Behold the world’s dimmest waiter. Setting: vacation, beer garden-style restaurant. I ask him to recommend something light and wheaty. He furrows his brow, the gears turned as they huffed and puffed and he said “well sir, we have a number of IPAs…”
Sailer nailed it on girls’ sports and by extension Title X almost ten years ago: upper middle class dual-income professional parents support it to keep their teenaged daughters supervised and blowing off steam weekdays between 2:30 and 5:00 pm.
A lot of girls play soccer around here in early elementary school. Most of them stop by 5th grade.
My high school did not have a girl’s soccer team when I was there, although I believe it does now.
There are a lot of athletic girls out there. It is really hard to stand out at any sport. It sounds like soccer is one of the least competitive ones, although I’ve heard they practice a lot and are probably in very good shape.
The world record in most women’s events (100m dash, etc.) is not enough for men to even qualify for the Olympics.
Dominance over men? Rather, feminists advertising their stupidity.
Even Florence Griffith-Joyner used to say that she is the fastest human in the world, except for 128 men.
But I doubt the feminists will note that point. After all, they still say women earn 77c on the dollar, no matter how much logic that lie is crushed under.
Other (even First World) countries’ lack of concern and funding for their female athletes is more proof that Anglosphere feminism is sui generis and a sick, FreeBirthControl-addled deadend cult.
Even feminist women in other cultures think American feminism is a clown show – look how Latin women totally threw the American feminists under the bus when they tried to make a big deal about Ines Sainz getting catcalls in the Jets’ locker room.
The Latin women were like, “Yeah, you uptight Puritan gringas, it means we’re HOT.”
Three of Japan’s seven gold medals came from women’s freestyle wrestling. Most medals from China, South Korea and Japan came from women. So don’t say it’s a white thing that women earn more medals. I think it has to do with organization and investment. Women athletes benefit from those two things more than men.
OK, I’m up for a little devil’s advocate. Who is saying this is any dominance of women over men, and are they important or numerous for me to care about? (Not having done any searching for commentary at the usual suspects’ sites, I’m in a good mood today and don’t care to let XX ruin it) It’s just the Olympics, nobody gives a shit 95 percent of the time so let them have their day in the sun.
Maybe this could become an Olympic event.
