Oh really? So what was all that pontification about how important this victory is to women's sports? Look the original point of all this was that you and your tasteless tag team partner cannot even deal with the fact that women can win anything without degrading the victory in some way, even to the point where you have to "fib" about results posted regarding internet polls etc. I really don't care whether you personally think anybody's victory in anything is important or not but to lie about what other people think about it is really low. You then proceeded to compare it with other sporting events based on all kinds of erroneous data such as ticket prices, whether these players will have lasting careers in soccer here etc. even though that has no bearing on the relevance of this victory , as we have seen with that 1980 hockey match, its not like anybody remembers their names (well I don't) but nonetheless people remember the game. I asked sincerely whether the US had ever won in soccer because I didn't know... I don't know about that 1991 game, since I wasn't here, its not surprising, however there are a bunch of factors that make these matches memorable above and beyond just winning and whether the team captain looks good. Maybe in 1991 europe didn't participate or something, I don't know, or the formidable worldwide players stayed out in anticipation of the olympics, whatever. I have no idea what propels you wackos to denigrate some sports achievers who are compensated in no way other than their desire to win, other than some deep-seeded resentment of a female victory. Fwiw without knowing anything about you I can tell you all have sons as well as daughters, imo your daughters don't have a chance.
