The irony of course is that nationalism is the only reason anybody cares about women’s soccer as a spectator sport. Every four years, Americans go nuts in a frenzy of feminist patriotic chauvinism over the American women’s team in the World Cup.

But nobody cares at all about the women’s professional league as this picture of a National Women’s Soccer League game in America’s third biggest city graphically demonstrates. People like to root for men athletes claiming to represent your city or state because it triggers atavistic territorial urges, but women’s professional team sports have been repeated failures because nobody sees women as defenders of the home turf.

This only works at the national level where women athletes are considered exemplars of the superiority of the American way of life.

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Women’s soccer is about 75-80% straight and about 20-25% gay. With the retirement of legendary Forward Abby Wombach (who is also a lesbian, though she seldom ever made it a public issue), that means that the most famous lesbian star player on the US National Team is Megan Rapinoe. Unlike Wambach, who tended to take a more of an “Don’t ask me and I won’t tell you” approach, because she wanted the focus and attention to be on the US National Team and Women’s Soccer in general, as well as being proud to be an American (think of a female Peter Thiel), Rapinoe welcomes controversy of all kinds based on her sexual orientation (during the ’12 Olympics she did some commentary for the gay magazine Out and has never shied away from making her orientation a public matter). If Rapinoe wasn’t such a great midfielder, she wouldn’t be getting the NYT treatment. After all, about ten yrs ago the US National Team had a lesbian player, all tattooed up from Hawaii Natasha something or other, who disappeared without much of a trace. The reason being, she couldn’t play soccer very well. So the only reason Rapinoe is getting attention is because of her athletic ability as well as her willingness to be used as a mouthpiece for the narrative.

And of course, with Hope Solo having been basically banned for 6 months from US Soccer and her contract terminated, there is now a void for any universal face of US Women’s Soccer.

* My niece played a college game in Florida where one of her opponents was a tall blonde pony-tailed Abby Wambach, later to become one of the most famous of women soccer players, but last time I saw a picture of Wambach, she seemed to have morphed into a man. My niece is still a woman.

* Well, at least Abby Wambach’s “wife” is somewhat pretty and feminine. So there’s that.

* I wish their name was “Soccer: Women’s Professional League”. That would be funnier than NWSL. Granted, women’s pro sports is already a laugh.

* ESPN dutifully reported Rapinoe’s protest in their crawler all day yesterday like it was big breaking news.

* ESPN’s website has morphed into Deadspin Lite; it’s pushing all social justice, all the time. I’m disgusted at how infrequently its headline stories these days have anything to do with actual sporting contests. It had been sliding for years into soft SJW-ism, but it then took a huge lurch leftward when they changed the site layout some months ago.

* “Being a gay American, I know what it means to look at the flag and not have it protect all of your liberties.” -Rapinoe

Interesting line of thought, as a conservative in this country, I feel the same way. I doubt that the left feels anything but glee over our suffering though.

Kaepernick is a Muslim traitor, that should be the rhetoric coming from every conservative. That it is not, shows how doomed we are.

* Males have 90% more upper body strength, on average, than women and 60% more lower body strength.

They are also, on average faster than women. An U15 boys team would probably be about 75% of the ability of a normal male team. The women are still outclassed.

* I see a silver lining to this development. With sports now being dominated by minority groups that intend to offend White fans, this might actually lead to a massive decline in obesity due to fans no longer wasting time watching sports as well as coaches losing Millions of Dollars in salary due to low ratings and attendance.

* An intramural basketball team I played on at Boston College once played a pickup game against the women’s varsity squad…..none of our team had even played highschool varsity basketball though we had played other varsity sports. …we basically toyed with them politely once we realized how sucky they were.

* Aaron Heifitz, the publicist for the U.S. national women’s soccer team, described how the women’s squad performs against the best youth club players in Southern California: “The boys’ 13s we can handle pretty consistently, but when the boys start really developing at 14, and especially 15, that’s when you start to see real separation and they pass even the best women’s players. They’re just bigger, stronger, and faster.”

* Alex Morgan has a nice, pretty, and wholesome All-American look. It would probably be a wise marketing choice to make her the face of women’s soccer, since my take is that the biggest spectator market and growth potential is soccer-playing girls and their fathers. Ashlyn Harris is very pretty too, but she’s taken to butching herself up with sleeve tatoos and dressing in men’s shirts, vests and ties, and is rather apparently not heterosexual. By its nature, appealing to a Lesbian subculture is going to alienate fathers of daughters who are probably trying to divert their daughters’ time and interest away from boy craziness and into healthful activities in preparation for college; I doubt that after all of that they’d be interested in introducing their daughters into a Lesbian subculture.

It’s heretical to consider human sexuality in any way malleable (in spite of ample evidence both historical and contemporary). We usually think of testosterone as causing aggression and male-oriented sexuality, but what if acting aggressively and in a physically competitive manner (particularly before/during puberty and adolescence) increases the production of testosterone, which in turn makes some girls more inclined to same-sex attraction? We know that in males building muscle and engaging in aggressive behaviors spikes testosterone production, and there are suspicions that exposure of a female fetus to excessive prenatal testosterone inclines the child to same-sex behavior later in life.

Black City Is Surprisingly Broke

pete

Are there any thriving majority-black cities?

From a WP comment on the article: “Checks wiki to see what are the demographics of the city.
Reads it’s 80% black.
Sees no reason to read the article in its entirety.”

According to Wikipedia: “As of the 2010 United States Census, there were 32,420 people residing in the city. 79.1% were Black or African American…”

It is naive to expect a black city to operate more like America than like Africa. The average African-American IQ is 85. You need an average IQ of 97 to maintain and develop a first world civilization.

08a-South-Africa-Illustrations-Truckers-Against-AIDS

07a-Rape5

01a-StopMobViolence

The average latino IQ in America is 90. The average white IQ is 100, East Asian IQ is 105 and Ashenazi IQ is between 108 and 120. Life results follows from that (wealth, education, family stability, health, longevity, etc).

It sounds like Petersburg was doing a lot better when whites were running the city. Who would have thought?

Washington Post:

As interim city manager since March 4, Belton was living out a dream she had had since coming up through the Petersburg schools. Hers was an unlikely ambition — a young black girl hoping to lead a city that, at the time, was largely run by whites. Now she had the chance…

She attended a mostly black elementary school, then went to a white private middle school, then to a majority-black high school. There she was chastised for sounding “too white,” even as her mother would admonish her to enunciate more clearly. She never felt like she fit in.

As early as sixth grade, Belton couldn’t understand why a majority-black city didn’t have a government that looked like the community.

‘I’ve Become a Racist’: Migrant Wave Unleashes Danish Tensions Over Identity

This is an excellent New York Times article:

The thousands of Muslim asylum seekers pouring into Denmark have spawned a backlash, and questions over whether the country has a latent racial hostility at its core.

TAARNBY, Denmark — Johnny Christensen, a stout and silver-whiskered retired bank employee, always thought of himself as sympathetic to people fleeing war and welcoming to immigrants. But after more than 36,000 mostly Muslim asylum seekers poured into Denmark over the past two years, Mr. Christensen, 65, said, “I’ve become a racist.”

He believes these new migrants are draining Denmark’s cherished social-welfare system but failing to adapt to its customs. “Just kick them out,” he said, unleashing a mighty kick at an imaginary target on a suburban sidewalk. “These Muslims want to keep their own culture, but we have our own rules here and everyone must follow them.”

Denmark, a small and orderly nation with a progressive self-image, is built on a social covenant: In return for some of the world’s highest wages and benefits, people are expected to work hard and pay into the system. Newcomers must quickly learn Danish — and adapt to norms like keeping tidy gardens and riding bicycles.

The country had little experience with immigrants until 1967, when the first “guest workers” were invited from Turkey, Pakistan and what was then Yugoslavia. Its 5.7 million people remain overwhelmingly native born, though the percentage has dropped to 88 today from 97 in 1980.

Bo Lidegaard, a prominent historian, said many Danes feel strongly that “we are a multiethnic society today, and we have to realize it — but we are not and should never become a multicultural society.”

…Perhaps the leading — and most substantive — concern is that the migrants are an economic drain. In 2014, 48 percent of immigrants from non-Western countries ages 16 to 64 were employed, compared with 74 percent of native Danes.

Muslims do not assimilate as easily as Europeans or some Asians, said Denmark’s culture minister, Bertel Haarder, partly because, as he put it, their patriarchal culture frowns on women working outside the home and often constrains freedom of speech.

“It’s not racism to be aware of the difference — it’s stupid not to be aware,” Mr. Haarder said. “We do them a blessing by being very clear and outspoken as to what kind of country they have come to, what are our basic values.”

But much of the difference remains unspoken. This is a country where pedestrians wait for a green light to cross even when no cars are in sight, a contrast to the bustling streets of Middle Eastern capitals.

Many Muslims from the Middle East will never integrate into Denmark. Identifying Jews remain a distinct people even after a thousand year in Europe, so why would anyone expect Muslims to blend right in?

It’s not easy to have a multi-ethnic state that is not conflict-ridden. I’m not sure that Muslims and Africans and Turks are a great fit for Denmark.

Low IQ people are a horror show to try to deal with.

Gypsies have lived in Europe for hundreds of years and they still have not assimilated. Is that Europe’s fault? Gypsies, like Muslims, have low IQs and are not assimilable.

Jews have assimilated to Europe in superficial ways, but as long as a Jew identifies as a Jew, he feels a part of a distinct Jewish nation.

Jews often see themselves as a people apart. As long as they maintain their orthodox identity, they will only assimilate in superficial ways.

Christians have been struggling with Jews and Muslims for over a millennia because these individual groups have different interests that repeatedly clash with each other.

Aiming for Clarity writes:

Let’s take a sort-of metrics-based analysis. I worry that the author of this thesis – Dr. Peter Hammond, who wrote “Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat”- may be/ is a biggot. But it’s hard to argue with these numbers:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States — Muslim 0.6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in: Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and ***ya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:
Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

‘Why I’ve Decided To Take A Gap Year Before Joining ISIS’

Tristan Beverly writes: In the face of unprecedented pressure to succeed, today’s young adults have less time than ever to form their identities and discover who they want to be. The narrow, sheltered world of childhood can only prepare you for so much and offers little chance for kids to expand their perspectives and nourish their souls. All of this is why I’ve decided to take a gap year before I join ISIS.

As I see it, I’ll have the rest of my life to concentrate on violently establishing a universal caliphate. Why not have a little fun first?

People might look at my desire to take a gap year as a sign I’m not fully dedicated to jihad. But it’s quite the contrary. I just want to be prepared to take on all of the things I’ll be learning. When I sit down to learn to field-strip my AK-47, I don’t want to be daydreaming of what it’d be like to walk along the White Cliffs of Dover. I want to know what it’s like firsthand.

Do I want to establish Allah’s kingdom on Earth? Of course I do. But I can’t think of a better way to prepare to destroy every country in the European Union than to travel through them with nothing but a change of clothes and a few Kerouac novels in my backpack.
