It brings me great sorrow to report that wealthy women who are paid large sums of money to play a game are unhappy with the pay structure for which their union collectively bargained and to which they themselves voluntarily agreed. The foxes have holes, and the birds the air nests; but members of the U.S. Women’s Soccer team are only guaranteed a $100,000 salary to play a game (before bonuses, of course). Let it never be said that ours is a country without tragedy.
The process by which two parties settle a compensation dispute through arbitration and collective bargaining (rather than publicly play-acting as Freedom Riders and disrespecting the country on foreign soil) — “the right way to do it,” if you prefer — has already proven an effective means of improving team pay, if raising team pay is indeed the point.
For a comparable number of “friendlies,” the women’s team compensation leapt from 38 percent to 89 percent of their male counterparts’ with the enactment of the 2017 collective-bargaining agreement, according to the Washington Post. These numbers, which reflect the improvements possible from a simple negation process, are misleading in terms of the disparity between the men and women — the women’s salaries and bonuses are not structured the same as the men’s team, which receives higher bonuses than the women’s team but does not receive a guaranteed salary.
But even this evades the actual point: If the women’s team is unhappy with this arrangement, it is not the fault of the United States, the American flag, Donald Trump, or some distant cabal of sexist white men scheming to stick their thumbs in the face of Megan Rapinoe. It is the fault of both the women’s union representatives and the women themselves for signing an agreement that they were unhappy with. If they didn’t like the terms of the agreement reached by the collective bargaining process, the women’s team was well within its right not to sign it. But, alas, they did sign it. Doesn’t that matter?

I'm gonna write a tweet that's gonna tick a lot of people off. Reagan conservatives like me have been called racists -- falsely and maliciously -- all of our lives. So, to many Americans, every charge of racism, no matter how legitimate, rings hollow. Good job, wolf-criers.— Jay Nordlinger (@jaynordlinger) July 18, 2019

Yup. The left wildly over-uses accusations of racism (just ask George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney to take three recent examples). The right underplays racism, denying, excusing, and rationalizing it even when it’s real. https://t.co/LKmKpsrsSr— David French (@DavidAFrench) July 18, 2019

I was curious about the "music critic" part of Nordlinger's bio. Oof.
The New York Philharmonic opened a concert with a new piece, or rather new enough: it was composed in 2015 and ’16. It is a symphony, the Symphony No. 2 of Thomas Larcher. The work has a nickname, Kenotaph, which is simply German for “cenotaph.” Larcher is an Austrian composer, born in 1963. He wrote this piece with a crisis in mind: the crisis of refugees and migrants in the Mediterranean, where they often drown.

Interesting...
A quarter of the ceiling in my room caved in two winters ago. I did not have a stove, and for three years I had to wash my dishes in the sink of a bathroom barely more presentable than that in a truck stop. I lived next door to the same women’s shelter I had gotten kicked out of. This past winter, I was without power frequently because of how ill-equipped the old housing stock was to deal with multiple tenants. (It was a Victorian era building). After a snowstorm, I went two and a half days without running water, and in December a meth-addled prostitute who lived on a floor above me took an ax to a man’s head.Until last winter, when the house became really unsafe, I pretty much woke up every day and thanked God that I was there, instead of still married to Kevin, because he was just that mean.
