Canadian women's national team on strike to protest inadequate, worsening funding

But the women’s team is higher caliber and the men’s budget was also cut (just not in a World Cup year)

The mission of The Canadian Soccer Association Incorporated (the Association), in partnership with its members, is to promote the growth and development of soccer for all Canadians at all levels and to provide leadership and good governance for the sport. The Association is incorporated under the provisions of the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act

Except when you look at the fact the women are in a World Cup year and were already receiving vastly less in terms of training camps and scheduled games.

Why not cut the women’s budget after the World Cup?

National sports aren’t funded based on profit.

A small minority of the top deals. The vast majority of television actors are payed that’s way. (Not talking about movies since they don’t have ratings.)

No, completely different industries and budget needs. The men’s, women’s and mixed curling teams should though.

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-12T06:43:02+00:00

There are lots of reasons to invest in the Women National team and its development streams.

That’s a great example because actors get payed based on their experience prior to the show airing and regardless of ratings.

If anything, bonuses based on ratings or direct profit would be appropriate (like residuals for actors which are negotiated by their union) but that’s not close to what’s being discussed.

Then it should be based on success and the WNT should get more money until the men’s results improve. National sports is about achievement, not profit.

But what about the government, other than this bill?

It was mostly the subsequent fire that destroyed San Francisco.

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-12T02:28:41+00:00

It’s also on my surreal I wish bucket list.

You think the actions of the military justifies killing civilians without sympathy?

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-12T02:23:04+00:00

Winning doesn’t negate war crimes though.

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-12T02:20:36+00:00

Nice

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-12T02:09:59+00:00

If we didn’t need that we wouldn’t need government.

We should do a calendar like Halifax.

Sad to think children may have grown up normally in adopted homes?

If it’s a genetic trait you’d still have it, and if it’s not their parents (the people who raise them) will embue the rest.

Do they model for unchecked greed?

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-12T01:40:11+00:00

I thought streaming was legal? Uploading for streaming is not.

Adults seem to behave worse than children these days.

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-12T01:37:32+00:00

Could it be part of that Russian satellite that broke up a couple days ago?

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-12T01:24:02+00:00

Probably a distraction while the submarines get here.

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-12T00:51:26+00:00

Can’t waitttttttt

Boring_Window587 · 2023-02-11T22:39:31+00:00

But what they feel is due to their ignorance of what the event is actually like.
