Women's soccer ...Yes, I totally agree with you. Women's soccer has to go, in fact, with the flow - which is away from traditional media, towards social networks etc. The more it taps into the energy of alternative media, the better. I always think of 'xtreme' sports as an interesting model - developed a bit off the grid, more of a subcultural vibe - and lo and behold, its one of the domains in which the toughness of its women athletes is fully celebrated!Jennifer Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004554513454749517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165780438929797577.post-43345424879535051162010-09-08T14:57:37.586-07:002010-09-08T14:57:37.586-07:00Canales' article did a very interesting job of...Canales' article did a very interesting job of presenting the ethic that informed the USWNT's expulsion of Solo for saying she should have been played, as many professionals would do. She had a very plausible case. She had to book her own flight home from China for Marta's sake. <br /><br />One point (and this does not detract from the soundness of the points you are making): Soccer is growing in the US because media coverage has been delinked from networks and newspapers that didn't want to make room for another sport. <br /><br />Women's sports will slowly do the same thing.Murfmenschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031877154740991965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165780438929797577.post-42381941972055095552010-09-02T12:11:59.420-07:002010-09-02T12:11:59.420-07:00I wouldn't normally publish the above - I real...I wouldn't normally publish the above - I really do try to keep comments centered on the sport. But Amway's & Herbalife's involvement with soccer in the US has long been on the top of my list of things I wish people would talk about more. Not because I want to get too into the whole multi-level marketing debate (my feelings on this are clear), but because I want to know more about why these companies are investing in our community - and why leauges - and AYSO - feel their backs are so against the wall that they take money from companies that have not the best of associations, in terms of branding.Jennifer Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004554513454749517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165780438929797577.post-45813043025581854852010-09-02T10:34:07.666-07:002010-09-02T10:34:07.666-07:00Amway has ripped off millions of people for severa...Amway has ripped off millions of people for several decades, to the tune of 10s of billions of dollars. If you were an IBO within the past 4 years and want to get your Amway Tool Scam money back, contact me at hawaiianibo@yahoo.com in order to join my lawsuit.<br /><br />Read about the Amway Tool Scam on this website: http://texsquixtarblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/case-against-amway-tool-scam.html and forward the information to everyone you know, so they can join the lawsuit and stopped getting scammed.<br /><br />Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway pays out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam. <br /><br />As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. This was made illegal in the UK in 2008, but our FTC is unable to pull their heads out of their butts to stop it here.Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08566368612992506048noreply@blogger.com
