We've moved the lexicon from them winning to minimizing the fact this squad is inarguably the best female side in the world.

I don't think your reading comprehension was too good. Read it again.

Admittedly I lost all interest when hitting this highly objective part of the piece:
Quote:
|
The first goal was the work of Alex Morgan, who drew a penalty kick when nearly kicked in the head. But all-about-me Megan Rapinoe was the beneficiary. She was assigned and made the PK, which, at this level, was fully expected.
|
It was a hit piece meant to get sexists and misogynists all fired up about those "damn women..."
Worked obviously.

When you refer to a person a "all about me" for taking a PK her coach wanted her to take...
Yeah, I toss any pretense the article is objective.
I don't really understand why anyone would have a problem with a Women's soccer team wanting equal pay with our shitty Men's team... but here we are...

I obviously don't have as much time to waste on such inanity as you do but one last time, Mushnick said of course Rampinoe would take the kick his problem is with the personalized celebration. Reading is Fundamental they say but being the contrarian on an innernet board is even more so.

So players celebrated after the goal?
Are we in "safe space" mode?
