hooooooo the comments say it’s cgi and I must admit I was dubious of the physics but I’m on mobile and I go off certain kinds of context cues really intensely so the shakycam and the natural movements of the bystanders got me and I was like “huh I wonder why I haven’t seen these before. must be in Russia or some other country where there’s fewer safety regulations I guess”
I was on board until I saw that one that shot everyone up into the fucking storm clouds
these are very literally straight from my nightmares
I feel like of these were real the death toll from the momentum changes alone would be catastrophic.
Assume I’m dead and rotting when this isn’t reblogged from my dash.
Update from April 2017:
Source: CNN Money, http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/05/news/us-womens-soccer-equal-pay/index.html
“The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team is getting a raise, bigger bonuses and the same per diems as the men.
The women’s team announced Wednesday that it had struck a new labor deal with U.S. Soccer, the sport’s governing body. For months, the women have said that their pay and treatment is unequal to the men’s team.
The women will also get better hotel and travel accommodations and will be reimbursed for the years when their per diems were less than those of the men.”
Finally some good news for the USWNT!
Reblogging with the bit that gives the outrage some closure.
👍👍👍
Yaayyy
Remember the bit where like an Olympic level women’s soccer team got their asses handed to them by a boys soccer team. Like, think maybe that has anything to do with the “pay gape”.
The women’s Olympic soccer team might be the best women’s soccer team in the world, but if they don’t put as many butts in seats as the men do, then they’ll always be paid less. Fewer people watching = lower ticket sales, and lower advertising revenue, so less payout for them.
Professional athletes are entertainers, not workers. They don’t do a job and get paid the value of that job. They get a fraction of the money that people pay to watch them perform. If millions of people buy tickets to watch you fuck up, you get paid more than if a couple thousand buy tickets to see you be the best in the world. Same reason shitty movie stars will always get paid more than geniuses on the theatre stage.
Nice how the three reblogs above seem to have ignored the part about them being ranked number one and breaking the record for most watched soccer game

i am FASCINATED by how Britney is so supportive and excited about their interest in Pokemon even though I have absolutely no doubt she is utterly confused by Pokemon
Honestly, Britney Spears seems like an excellent mom.
