Man, everyone is so sensitive. Someone -else- made the comment about the FC Dallas scrimmage, I simply supplied the story. Didn't make a comment or anything.

No one is sensitive, it is just a stupid argument to make as to the validity of women's soccer, or women's sports in general. The same arguments that people are making against women sports, have been made throughout history regarding other things. Taking one or two examples, and then be like look....I am right.

Women are not as good at sports as men because men are bigger, stronger, and faster I think was the actual point and is also an objective fact. They are equally valid in their existence but also less entertaining to the public because of the lower skill level and the numbers support that.

I would argue that a technically sound women's team is just as good if not better. There is a reason that most prefer college basketball over the NBA. Lack of fundamentals will kill any sport.

I agree re: bad fundamentals killing any sport. I think if you are comparing a technically sound women's team against a more undisciplined men's team, sure. That's fair imo. However, apples to apples with both equally disciplined, I think most people would prefer to watch the men's version because of the higher level of athletic ability.

We just watched two of the four best teams in the world, play JV ball. My criticism is based on what I saw during the game, regardless of gender. It was sloppy and unorganized. It is what it is. Bad soccer. Just because the MLS has a champion doesnt mean it can compete with the next relegated team in the premier. Talent and competition is not the same. It was bad soccer.

Saying the nba is lacking fundamentals is asinine. The talent gap between college and pro basketball is the Grand Canyon. Bigger than any sport imo outside of maybe golf. There’s so many awesome college basketball players that never even sniff a nba court.

Sounds like you are just watching for the wrong reasons. Just enjoy what our nation especially gives us.

You don’t go to Applebee’s and get disappointed when your 10$ steak isn’t Ruth Chris quality.

Watching World Cup soccer and expecting good soccer is watching for the wrong reasons? This isnt U16 soccer. its international soccer in the semifinal of the world cup. It's going to Ruth Chris and getting Applebees steak. Expectations at the top level of soccer should be matched by quality play. What an awful take by you, Hank.

Anyone ever used the Orange valet parking deck for a Braves game? I'm looking at parking passes on Stubhub and Vivid seats and see these available, but am curious as to how they work. Do you just pull up to the stadium (I think the locations are both first and third base side) and it works like any other valet service?

I am not sure how your are arguing about the entertainment value of the Women's World Cup when you have a baseball player as an avatar. That is literally the most boring spectator sport on the planet. I think there is more action in professional miniature golf.

Also, our seats are in section 36...I'm seeing some information that says you have to have seats in certain club areas to use it...so I'm curious if I could get myself into a situation where I buy a pass for the valet lot, and they check my tickets and are like, "sorry, you can't use valet parking"

1. You’re expecting American players to be on par with the level of stars over seas. It’s not even the same game they play.

2. You obviously have unrealistic expectations out of the women’s game in general. They are down to the best teams and players in the world and still isn’t cutting with you. Do you watch the lady vols and wonder why they aren’t playing above the rim?

Hank. Hate to tell you this but America is the Gold Standard in women's soccer. They've been playing extremely sloppy and are still beating the "stars over seas"
