Australian women's national football team lost 7-0 to 15 year old boy team.

So I just came across this story and it's quite interesting, puts things in perspective.

Australian women's national team lose 7-0 to team of 15-year-old boys

Australia’s women’s football team are ranked the fifth best side in world football. So how did they lose 7-0 to a collection of 15-year-old boys?

It reminds me of back when there was arguments about the pay women's football gets compared to the men's. These boys should get payd just as much in their school league too! XD

Biases confirmed. Absolutely no need to look further into this. Any attempt to analyse bias by anyone else will be taken as feminazi aggression.

...k?

Like, I have no idea what you want us to do with this five year old story. The story doesn't even given any real context besides that the women's team didn't have their full rotation (it talks about how they had one of their star players but for all we know, she played for one minute or ninety minutes, the story says absolutely nothing about it) and specifically states that the team was missing their overseas players (is that one person or is that half the fucking team story?). Maybe mitigating factors caused the ladies to lose like that or maybe the guys are just plain better than the ladies and the score line shows it but you'd never know reading the story.

There is nothing in this story or in your post that gives any kind of value to the story so I have no idea what it is you're expecting anyone to say here...

Just pay the men way less. Problem solved.

I agree with everything else you said (good catch on this being 5 years old, missed that myself). But I think we just might possibly be able to deduce something of the OP's motives.

Christ, you couldn’t even be bothered to bait your hook.

I wonder how many times a little league team beats a MLB team/player since the MLB team/player was playing nice with them and letting them win. The only reason this is considered 'news' is cause it fits into a gendered narrative so we can say "all men are better then all women, take that feminists."

Maybe this is one of those "10 year old scores goal on Messi" stories.
If not it's pretty embarrassing.

What if the boys team had girls playing? My high school soccer boys team had a girl that played and was a starter.

Athletes should get paid by how much revenue the games bring in like the US women's soccer team brings in more revenue than the men's team but makes less money.

Maybe. A lot depends on context. Was it just a warm-up game for exercise? Was the manager trying out new players, tactics? And so on.

Soccer pays are currently based on how well you pretend that you're injured

 

[McElroy]

It's not like they're combining the teams and tourneys.

Yeah, it was just a friendly training match where the gals were trying new things and rotating players. Only reason it's newsworthy is because this sort of game doesn't usually go 7-0.

So it's an outlier on top of being not that serious for a wide variety of reasons. Doesn't stop this singular 6 year old story from popping up whenever some dude has an *opinion* on women's sport, whether it's pay for players or cost of girls sports or attention payed to or promotion of or "natural differences in the sexes" or trans people or whatever.

Thank you the only time this ever comes up when the discussion is all those reasons as some sort of ultimate rebuttal. To the point that the guys obsessed with it can be easy to gage their view of feminism and gender.

Also why did Dreiko bring this up and put what into perspective?

If I had to guess why this story is making the rounds again, the NCAA college basketball tournament is running right now and the men's and women's accommodations are hilariously unequal.

Have not looked at accomondations but I did watch the tournaments and there was good basketball all around. Need to look into that because all colleges are using these young people as cash cows for money they won't see at least give some nice utilities equally.
