President Donald Trump congratulated the U.S. women's soccer team for their historic World Cup win against the Netherlands on Sunday and tweeted last month that he is planning on inviting the team to the White House,"win or lose."
Congrats to @uswnt for winning w/ strength, unity & patriotism. By popular, bipartisan demand & with @USRepKCastor & @RepLaHood, co-chairs of Soccer Caucus, I’m pleased to invite the players to the US Capitol as a team or individually to celebrate your inspiring victory. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I stand by the comments that I made about not wanting to go to the White House, with the exception of the expletive," Rapinoe said amid some backlash following her initial comments and criticism from Trump."My mom would be very upset about that."
Women’s soccer player, @mPinoe, just stated that she is “not going to the F...ing White House if we win.” Other than the NBA, which now refuses to call owners, owners (please explain that I just got Criminal Justice Reform passed, Black unemployment is at the lowest level...
Yes they do. We ALL are equal. Race, sex, National origin, religion, etc. It doesn’t matter. All for o e and one for all! Was that the Three Musketeers saying
They don't bring in the money thus they get paid less. It's a business. Maybe with this win women's soccer ticket sales will sky rocket clothing sales etc will be on demand. It's not a women's rights issue
Starving pregnant women in Yemen shed so many tears for persecuted enslaved wealthy blessed fortunate ball kickers.
please get into real issues
Fairly is fine with me! Fairly does not always mean equally!
Schumer accidently pisses himself while giving this speech forgot to use his depends on
Pandering for votes. Hoping the public won’t do their own homework.
is this the guy who never says anything standing behind the woman who talks and says nothing while talking
Will attendance be mandatory so teams can support this?
They get paid enough if you ask me. Greedy people 🤦♂️
Such a pandering statement. The fact is the women’s sport doesn’t produce the same revenue as the men’s sport. If it did they’d make more. It’s really about basic economics
Is this what we pay you for ? Soccer
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
All women sports deserve to have equal ticket sales. So when they don’t we should raise your taxes to buy more tickets to women’s events. Either that or take earnings away from men athletes and hand it back to their team owners as increased profits for the billionaires.
Dear Chuckie: the USWNT is paid 13% of revenue, the USMNT is paid 9% of revenue...looks like you’re done. It’s not an equality problem, it’s an economics problem. The women need to play in the same TOURNAMENT/against same teams, immersed in same revenue pool as USMNT
Too Late CryingChuck IvankaTrump is WAY ahead of you!!! Ivanka
How about fairness in the court room...I had a Judge threaten me with the use of a gun or knife to get done what he wants...I have transcript and docs to prove what I say...It involves an estate where they had a will...Judge never acknowledged did what he said he could do...help
Pro tip: Feel free to become a donor Chuck...so you can put your money where your socialist mouth is.
Pay should be based on performance skill and potential - anything based on skin color, gender or sexual preference is WRONG
Take an economics course Chuckles.
Way to kick that soccer ball and drag and stomp on the US flag. So much talent. Fk them.
Now I am beginning to understand why they call him Cuck Schemer
Scout920 Get the infants and toddlers out of concentration camps .
All this clown does is read what his staff writes, watch
Sit down, panderer.
The Trump administration hasn't got a health plan to replace obama care! What are they going to replace it with?
chuckschumer How about start with the woke NBA by having a special lets call it an 'Equality Tax' where you tax the NBA or NBA players and the money goes to the WNBA players to make their pay the same as the men
How is this the government's place to dictate pay for these women? SenSchumer can you tell my boss to give me a raise too?
Men's Soccer = $6B in revenue Men's pay rate = 8% of that revenue Women's Soccer = $131M in revenue (2.1% of men's revenue) Women's pay rate = 13% of revenue (51% gain over men). It's not 'sexism' , it's frigging economics.
Oh my god
FakeNews You get payed by how many people you entertain. You think equal is anything other then a divide by you. Many of jobs women make more. Either because they are better then men or better looking.
Congress passed that in 1963
What the men and women of the Special Olympics and the Paralympics do is extraordinary. They should be paid more!!
SenSchumer it's a game. I know lots of great soccer players that love this country and our president. Dropping the flag to look stupid was unamerican.
“F” you Schumer they did not go to represent the USA, they went for themselves. They threw the American flag on the ground and walked on it. But like you democrats, you open your arms to the most un-American people. I will say and hope that not all of the players feel this way.
What a JOKE!
A Democrat who doesn't understand that things have to be paid for through revenue. Quelle surprise!
They already earn more than the men as a percentage of revenue that they create. Equal pay for men!!
These dems love to use people for votes it’s hilarious.
But don’t you think it’s funny how schools have no money for sport programs but we’re going to overpaid athletes more money give me a break
They are compensated fairly
Hey Nazi ABC! The US Congress does NOT have a say in what FIFA pays! Geez! Mob rule liberal Nazis!
Blame their union. Their pay is based on the CBA that they negotiated and agreed to. Negotiate better CBA next time or strike. As far as World Cup pay from FIFA, that is based on revenue generated. Men’s World Cup generates FAR more. Simple economics
End the Discrimination 4 birthing mothers or it doesn't matter that We fail 2 support the society that rewards US...? ...?
Compensated by who? Women make more as a percentage of their revenue than the men. My neighbor makes more than me, I can’t demand he give me some....
Pander more chucky 👎🏻
No... no one watches WNBA no pat raise for that
Wow, great idea Chuck. I'm sure he'll listen to you.
😂😂😂
Yea, but it depends on the funding, how much do the women tournament generate ?
Equal pay for unequal advertising revenue/sponsorships/profitability?
And that is the F facts
Does this mean someone out there is making so much off this team grabs all the cash and doesn’t have the balls to congratulate team. Oh ya right it’s like all corporate people
I'm sure Chuck knows Epstein pretty well too.
Mr. Schumer. THANK YOU SO MUCH! SINCERELY MS. GARY
They got paid a larger percentage of the earnings than the men did tho.
They’re compensated more than fairly. But we’re supposed to pretend like they’re not
The wage gap is a myth and can be proven with one simple statement. If women indeed earned less than men, then employers would just hire an all woman work force, since it cuts the cost of overhead.
Turtle man isn't going to bring anything to the floor unless it's underhanded and helps the Republicans stay in power. They have no intention of bringing Equal Pay to the floor for a vote or any bill. This is why Turtle man needs to be vote out!
They should DEFINITELY be paid equally by ussoccer in America but according to international standards is a whole different story.
Never....
Pelosi is nothing more than an opportunist that thrives on low i.q people.
Pelosi now trying to be Ocasio but She is not.
bobmuellerwkrn Don't be surprised if some of them pass
That team needs to be disbanded we need actual Patriots to represent America if they don't stand with all Americans they don't need to represent all Americans they all need to go
Whatever your feelings for Trump. Embarrassing and disgusting what they did. They deserve no honor
Of course she did. Why would they want to see capital? They stomped on flag!
So glad you’re going to air a parade for a soccer team, but can’t air a parade from our nation’s capital on the 4th of July. Priorities.
They were already invited to the WH
Please please no White House visit please please
Let them go
SpeakerPelosi should be too busy impeaching Acosta, Barr and Trump if she decides to do her job.
AOC invited them, Pelosi was trying to upstage her. Invite everyone except Megan. She has issues.
Nancy maybe you can give the girls soccer team ! some lessens on Respect ! oh and please Raise the American Flag High ! and Honor our President !
Is Pelosi running for office?
They do not represent the United States of America. On a world stage they act like spoiled brats. I take pride in this country. Those women’s behavior is abhorrent! Why don’t they move to another country and see if that country allows their disrespectful behavior. Grow up
Who cares
And maybe a steak dinner in the Rotunda?
Comrade tRump won't get near them, trust me. These are serious women, unlike the kind he likes. Megan R would give him several ears full.
There’s no uncertainty. But yay for the congressional invite!!!
Uncertainty? Pretty sure the absolutely fucking amazing winners already told him to fuck off🤷🏻♀️
They are obnoxious women. Im sorry but they are.
No
They should all be shot for being Traitors
Typical Crap move by the Demo socialist
Sure she would as it fits her hate for the USA and she thinks it will boost her failed party Talk about adding to the division in the USA her and her party are trying everything they can It’s pathetic
Team of girls? playing with balls. Yawn.
Good
Of course Nancy has to step on the bandwagon. She had a rough week you know with the insane newbies at her back.
SpeakerPelosi is just as bad as trump and should resign ok I take that back nobody can stoop as low as realDonaldTrump but she honestly isn’t doing anything. I say New York thing is good enough and with people. Screw all these corrupt politicians that support children camps
But they already made it clear they wouldn’t go to the White House soooooo why should he invite them
Hope she has more than cold hot dogs, and stale little Debbie's.
Good choice. Not good to visit pedophile supporters
It’s their decision, but I would except an invitation from Trump or Pelosi.
The only woman who should receive a invite from President Trump is the woman who saved the flag from the 3 douchebags 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Chuck cares little about the details. He's just pandering to the feminists. Democrats: Buying your vote for over 150 years!
Gross
Uncertainty Since when
I'm thinking there will not be any invite because the teams Captain was super-rude & ruined it for everyone.
Go ahead Pelosi you hate America just like they do
Sad how divisive so many liberals are now. Trump is kind of rude and vulgar, but the media, entertainment luminaries, Dems, and sports figures are on a bad acid trip hacking up everything Americana they can find. While Conservatives clutch their purses and gasp.
The only one that deserves a trip to the capitol is the one who picked the flag up off the ground.
would you expect anything less from a traitor
Only 1 person on that team that deserves a trip to the White House.
Shame on her. Does she not care about the USA flag? Morals?
Good for you Nancy.
Trump invited them first ☝️
You know who SpeakerPelosi needs to invite? Impeachment to the White House!
political games. waste
So that's the new procedure here? Teams with more Democrats go to the Speaker's office, the rest go to the White House like before. Super dumb. Before Democrats' hissy fit over Trump, sports were about sports. Get over it; Trump won fair and square.
Yay! One big party! Get to goddamn work, or resign. You werent elected to play host.
They disrespected their own flag. Silly. The world is watching and laughing. SMH.
Better get all the US flags lowered onto the soil there and invite them to stomp and spit all over them. Make them feel right at home.
They belong together !
After throwing the flag on the ground and stepping on it - why would Pelosi invite them to DC? Their actions in front of the world that disrespected the US were disgraceful
Why is Pelosi usurping the President's role? While we applaud their victory, we don't applaud big mouth Rapinoe bad mouthing the American POTUS while over seas. It's a shame that her judgement is so bad.
yawn
Yawn.
Trump should invite the young boys team that thumped them. 😆
How politically expedient of you Nancy.... FuckingLosers ClownShow
If true, Pelosi is an ass. Besides I think they already accepted AOC's invite. Should be interesting.
no wonder
Chuckie, not to demean the salary status of women, but, all people need to be compensated fairly. The inequity is beyond stupid. If you want to start correcting the gap, take away the law that makes corporations be treated as a 'person'. How stupid is that?
I would like to see some of these contest for next elections in USA to clean the house and get rid of racist, child molesters, rapists republicans.
Trump should invite the Under-15 boys team that humiliated these frauds 5-2 w/o even trying.
AOC was the first to invite them
Pelosi turns everything she touches into sh1T
Great
Well, I hope she's paying for the hotel and airfare. They're not exactly rolling in money.
alexmorgan13 is the most marketable of the bunch
Wait, didn’t aoc already extend an invite? 🇺🇸🤔
AOC invited them first!!!!!!
No one gives a shit
Says the senator who has been in the senate for over 21 years. Now he speaks up.
They make a percentage of revenue earned. In fact, they make a larger percentage than the men's team. That's like being outraged that a woman selling more cars at a Smart Car dealership isn't taking home the same commission as a man working at a Porsche dealership.
Ole chucky is like a wack a mole..just jumps up to say anything for a vote. If illegal aliens said no equal pay he would be for that tomorrow
As much as I Love Sports ~ NOBODY and I mean NOBODY deserves that much money to play with a ball !!!! ⚽️⚾️🏀🏈🎾🏌️♂️ but feel free to give it to our Military 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Do you guys know what happens to countries whose governments interfere with their Football Federations or does nobody in America watch actual Football?... Seriously
So if one business brings in $1,000,000 in profit and another similar brings in only 25% of that profit the employees in both companies should get paid the same? This is just more political drama.
Just fishing for stupid people to react. Just look at the ticket sales. That’s how they make there money
Women are the ones who raise the children while the man is off finding another young lady. The woman has to find a job and figure out how to do daycare and food. Yet, the Republicans refuse to give women their fair share. Men still make more to support their young flings.
You have more important things to do
when will dems pay interns equal ?
What an IDIOT now he is using these women to TRY and promote his failed party
Disgusting and disrespectful women. If you don’t like your pay, get another job snd stop whining. THAT’S what normal folks do in the real world. smh
They negotiated a contract if the would have lost would they have excepted a pay cut I dont think so .this is America they made a deal they live with it until there contract is done then they can renegotiate not that hard to figure out.
What else do they want? Lmao, so greedy. They make more than lots of hard working people and they want more for playing a game 🤦♂️
You know what we really need Chuck (by we, I mean Americans; you know, the people you work for)? Border security (wall) and effective immigration reform. Get to work! Trump 2020 🇺🇸
Political pandering
Losing their grasp on reality.
That is such an asinine idea. They were not coerced into signing their contract. They did it willingly with help from an agent in most cases. If they are unhappy they can choose not to play or sign.
Chunky give up your money
Personally I think all Soccer is the tiddlywinks of professional sports. Boring boring boring. They should all get a day job.
And rightfully so
Why didn’t they do that under Obama’s 2 terms?
The women get a higher percentage of revenue than the men!
Inspiring, he is 😩🥴
Congrats ladies USA USA USA But I would rather watch paint dry then watch soccer. Men or Women And as for pay % women get more. But men make more because gate is higher
According to FIFA mens soccer brings in 3+ billion and womens soccer brings in 121 million.
My favorite part of the world cup
Funny how they are Dress like Guys
AWESOME CONGRATS TO AMERICA'S TEAM
If they paid them the same they would be bankrupt
If the revenues from women's soccer or any other sport are equal to that of men's, equal pay is mandated but if this is a situation like they NBA and wnba where there is not even a semblance of equity in revenues produced, equal pay is not warranted.
And in 7-14 days will be forgotten until next World Cup... where they'll still generate less revenue than the men.
Scum players
🙄
Assholes
Anti American team welcome home to a country that has mixed feelings on you.
.SenSchumer NEWSFLASH: They were compensated fairly.
Just because they are good at a child’s game doesn’t mean anything. Athletes are paid too much anyways. The middle class of America isn’t paid shit but someone who can play a child’s game (men or women) gets millions. Makes no sense. It’s all economics though
This is so incredibly stupid. Pass a law that says the women's professional soccer league has to pay more than it's revenue and poof...league folds tomorrow, no more women's professional soccer. Problem solved
👍
Schumer is a smuck.
'I don't understand basic math'
Oh geez... here we go... At least he waited until AFTER they won.
Lmao
Dems still perpetrating the myth.
