Even the like they were ripped directly from the movie, supporting characters did a good job and especially that bookcase scene.

No. 1 Stanford (22-1-0) is currently on a 20-match win streak and has the best scoring offense in the nation with 86 goals on the season, averaging 3.74 goals and 25.1 shots per match.

  • What Employers Should Consider About the Women Soccer Players' Wage Discrimination Claim
    04.07.16 What Employers Should Consider about the Women Soccer Players' Wage Discrimination Claim What would you say if you were paid less money for winning than someone else was paid just for showing up? Is that wage discrimination? Yes it is, according to the stars of U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. Last week, five stars of World Cup Champion women's team filed a wage discrimination claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against U.S. Soccer. Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd, Becky Sauerbrunn, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe claim that despite winning more, they are paid less than the men. According to the complaint: − The women's yearly salary is $72,000, compared to the men's yearly salary of $100,000 − The women are paid less for winning exhibition games than men get for simply showing up. The base pay for women to play in exhibition games is $3,600 and they get a bonus of $1,350 if they win; compared to the men who get paid a base of $5,000, with a bonus of $8,166 if they win; − The women receive a lower per diem rate for daily travel expenses. The women receive $50 per day for domestic travel and $60 per day for international travel, whereas the men receive $62.50 and $75.00 respectively; and − "The pay structure for advancement through the rounds of World Cup was so skewed that, in 2015, the men earned $9 million for losing in the round of 16, while the women earned only $2 million for winning the entire tournament.

  • A Look Into Superbowl Fifty Five,My Role Model
    A look into Superbowl Fifty Five Superbowl Sunday was unlike any we had ever seen before. Instead of a sold-out stadium of raving fans, they were limited to only 30,000 people. People wore masks and parties were limited in size or didn’t even happen at all. Big companies like Budweiser didn’t run their annual ads, instead choosing to donate that money towards COVID-19 relief. The halftime performance was much more toned down than in the past with fans not being able to come onto the field for the performance. High numbers of celebrities that normally filled the stands were replaced with cardboard cutouts. Overall the night was entertaining with the game, the performance, and of course the commercial. Amanda Gorman in the video of her poem before the game began The night began with Amanda Gorman, a known activist, and poet, speaking during the pregame show. At only 22 she is breaking boundaries being the first poet to speak at the Super Bowl which she hopes will inspire others to continue to break boundaries. Prior to her performance, Gorman tweeted, “Poetry at the Super Bowl is a feat for art & our country, because it means we’re thinking imaginatively about human connection even when we feel siloed.” She performed a poem by the name of Chorus of the Captain in honor of three honorary captains that were selected. All three were regarded as pandemic heroes: a Los Angeles-based teacher named Trimaine Davis, who provided laptops and internet connections for students working from home during the lockdown, an ICU worker in Tampa Bay named Suzie Dorner, and a Marine veteran from Pittsburgh named James Martin, who founded the Wounded Warrior Project to help vulnerable children.
