Unlearn It. Racism, Sexism, And Homophobia Are Constructs.

Perspective | The U.S. women’s national team is an American treasure. Pay them a bounty.

The women’s program is the most important team in American soccer history — male or female.

Picture the expressions of U.S. Soccer Federation officials every time Alex Morgan went lightly skipping down the pitch and scored another goal in the Americans’ opening match of the women’s World Cup. The falling faces, the slack mouths, the groans and the fingertips pressed to their creased foreheads, as their legal position became ever more indefensible.

Just imagine how that record-setting 13-0 victory over Thailand will play at a jury trial. It’s going to be a lot of fun watching lawyers for the soccer federation try to justify why the U.S. Women’s National Team, with their air rifles for legs, are paid 38 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts and had to sue for fair wages. It’s going to be pure entertainment listening to federation president Carlos Cordiero stammer out an explanation on the witness stand of why this team, which is nothing short of an American damn treasure, isn’t worth equal coin to a men’s squad that can’t beat Jamaica

I don’t want to hear another word about the bigger size of revenue in the men’s World Cup. You think American networks and corporations are paying large rights fees and sponsorship deals for a USA men’s team that couldn’t even qualify for the World Cup field and hasn’t won an Olympic medal since 1904? You think Fox and ESPN got into a bidding war for the English language rights to the 2018 and 2022 World Cups all for a men’s squad that gets whipped by Venezuela?

No. The women’s program is the entire backbone and inspiriting force of soccer in America — and has been ever since 1996. “A crown jewel,” is what one Fox executive called its telecast of this women’s tournament

WOW

Mind blown 😂

Clexa fic recs

I had an anon ask for clexa fic recs so I just figured I would create a list divided into 100 universe and modern au fics of a few that are my favs (by no means is it exhaustive. I have tons of favs). I’m gonna add some little descriptive tags under each. They are in no particular order btw. 

Yes, I do know that a lot of people in the fandom already know about these fics but some don’t so yeah that’s why I’m posting. Also I really want people to send me fic recs (please no Lexa g!p, that’s not my thing) so here’s a good idea of some stuff I’ve already read. 

One last thing, since these were placed on a public forum, ao3, I didn’t think authors would mind my sharing them here. That being said, if you are one of the authors of one of the fics I recommend and you want it removed just message me. Now, let the fun begin.
