FIFA President Gianni Infantino says women should “pick the right battles” to “convince us, men, what we have to do” over equality issues in soccer.
He’s such an evil piece of shit.
You have to be a certain sort to run a sports league racket. You’ve gotta enable not your own corruption but the corruption of the national leagues under you.
I don’t know why I even clicked on this thread. I have no interest in reading about this guy. Everything I’ve heard about him indicates he’s an asshole, and the quote in the headline only serves as more evidence.
It’s 2023, for fuck’s sake. Women shouldn’t have to take any extra steps to be treated as equals, especially if it involves meeting this prick’s standards.
I clicked to read comments like this. Well done mate, dude’s a prick.
The ‘right battle’ would be beat the shit out of him, but other options might work.
What a fucking piece of shit.
Very apt that he’s named “Infantino” because this (amongst other things) proves he thinks like a fucking infant.
Does he mean he needs more kickbacks from them to do anything?
Hey dickhole, educate your damn self. What the fuck are you president of anything for if you can’t even lead yourself to a fresh thought?
If you can’t do it, which you seem to be admitting here, and you need a woman to lead you to the correct way of thinking, step down and let a woman do the leading from the office of FIFA President. Maybe if you ask nicely and show a willingness to learn, she’ll hire you as a secretary or something, but only if you remember to smile.
So you’re saying that if he changes anything, he will personally lose out. He rose to the top of the previous system, there’s not a lot of motivation to mess with that.
I’m saying that if he wants to be a leader he needs to do the work to lead. There was a series of thoughts in the comment above. You’re only replying to part of the comment, but the rest of the comment was important too.
It’s hard to stop patronizing women when you’ve been patronizing women your whole life.
no, women do currently need to pick their battles. this is not the way things should be.
The salient piece of info I got from the article is that players of Women’s soccer currently get 1/4 of the pay that players of men’s soccer get.
Because women’s football doesn’t bring as much money as man’s, sadly.
Looks like a big lardy mob cunt. Wreck em every time you can.
I don’t quite know what you said, but I’m pretty sure I’m in complete agreement.
@MicroWave Honestly the only thing I want Infantino to do in the fight for equality is STFU
I want him to fight a hungry bear in a 1v1.
Did anybody here even read the article? Anyone?
How is this inequality? The more valuable players get more oay since they bring more revenue. Sex has nothing to do with it. Its not supposed to be a charity. I think it is fair that payment correlates with ones value regardless of sex or any other attribute. Is it not like that at the moment?
Is he wrong? Women get less views and draw in less money at the moment. Men do play in higher level by nature in this sport so its understandable that the open category (dominated by men) is more entertaining.
I wouldnt watch neither since Fifa is evil and soccer is boring but I still cant figure out the inequality in pay. Just seems fair to me.
He’s wrong.
Do you have anything other than an opinion on this? Why is he wrong?
@3L54@lemmy.world
Because he specified that women have to be subservient to his will, do things his way.
And again he’s a misogynistic asshole.
