Snoop Dogg Calls Out The “Sorry Ass, F*cking Men’s (Soccer) Team” In Instagram Rant About Equal Pay!
As you’ve probably already heard, our U.S. Women’s soccer team beat the Netherlands 2-0 Sunday to bring home their fourth World Cup title, sparking a huge debate about equal pay.
The U.S. Woman’s National Team won their FOURTH WORLD CUP TITLE and now everyone is rightfully calling out the pay gap between man and woman’s soccer players…
including Snoop Dogg.

The women will reportedly bank $260k per player for the win, while the men would have raked in $1.1 million each if they’d won the whole thing.
Snoop angrily stated in an Instragram video post, “Food for thought. Shout out to the USA Woman’s Soccer Team for their fourth World Cup, but what I want to talk about is that they only get $90,000 per player, but the men, if the win, they get $500,000 per player.”
“Man, pay them ladies!” Snoop says. “The women should be getting $500,000 per athlete. Snoop Dogg says so.”
While Snoop Dogg’s heart may be in the right place, his figures are a little off, according to TMZ. The women actually went home with $260,000 per player, while the men would have made $1.1 million each.
…Frankly, we can’t argue with ya, Snoop. Check out the video below:
Soccer icon Michelle Akers says it’s absurd to compare the U.S. Women’s National Team to the men for 3 reasons: the women make less, have less marketing money … and still win wayyy more!
Again…another person we can’t argue with.
What are YOUR thoughts on the unfair pay scale?
Instagram is introducing new features which will automatically challenge users before they post something which might be considered bullying.
The new feature notifies users when Instagram’s algorithms suspect that their comments might be considered offensive before they actually post…
It is introduced as the British government develops regulations to tackle social media platforms and make them responsible for harmful material which they allow users to share or discover.
According to the Facebook-owned company: “This intervention gives people a chance to reflect and undo their comment and prevents the recipient from receiving the harmful comment notification.”
The company also added, “From early tests of this feature, we have found that it encourages some people to undo their comment and share something less hurtful once they have had a chance to reflect.”
Disney recalls Toy Story 4 Forky plush, citing choking hazard
In a move therefore loaded with irony, Disney and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have recalled an official Forky plush toy, citing safety concerns. The government agancy reported that the toy’s plastic googly eyes “can detach, posing a choking hazard for young children.”
“Consumers should immediately take the recalled toy away from children and return it to any Disney Store retail location, Walt Disney World, or Disneyland Resort theme park retail store location for a full refund,” the CPSC said in a statement.
