Love it !might be the only way to break through the misogyny that current female soccer players have to deal with😔too male dominated . And pay to play system in the US?The wealthiest get to play in US not necessarily the most talented, wonder how these owners will address that

I’m thinking now is not the best time to invest in any sports franchise. America won’t watch social justice warriors kneeling.

marybookwriter female team I'm hoping....

Lol are going to promote the equal pay ? Or because is their business no such a thing is goiy to happen . Let see what woke people are going to do when it comes to their money.

Will they compete on a high school boys level?

cheryl_marlin Okay?🤷🏻‍♀️🥴

Watch out David Beckham!

👍

Be fun watching that team 'do well'.

5th time reported on..

Please put a woman as manager please

But America is sexist and racist, huh?

Baxt3rBaby Her 1 year old is an owner?

One of the most beautiful women on the planet. 😍

Needs more new teams around all world, all divisions, no more to muchas academies, Hell yeahhh!!!

That’s the way to get social change!!!

Diversity among our wealthy overlords 3

Let me repeat myself too: once again you're bringing old news.

I can't forget this little girl Natalie Portman in the movie The Professional. She already had that brilliance. I think she still has it.

That two year-old owner is definitely oppressed.

So they are now owners.

Just couldn’t not write “Actress” in this otherwise badass female empowerment headline huh

And when the box office is not making money, every thing will change! Women soccer just does not bring in the money as men’s! Women soccer at best 20,000 fans, men’s will fill 100,000 for a bad game!

So. Name it Korra

I can’t wait to see the pay rate

me n her got the same ACT

V for Vendetta.

Congrats But HardPass on any MLSports. All lives MATTER

Great news to start with a day

You think repeat reposting of this story is more important than what is happening in Portland PortlandProtest

Can’t wait for them to have an “equal pay” publicity stunt only for the club to go bust after one season because they don’t understand that women’s soccer is not interesting to watch.

Good2Go

I hope they over pay the players and go bankrupt. Or they find out they can’t pay the women the same because they bring in NOTHING in terms of revenue

Good luck, just keep politics out of sport.

Good for them.

she is so beautiful.

What did they all pitch in like 500$?

Shocking, considering Portmans stance against working with female directors.

I always support women that take a knee !!

Will they pay their female players a competitive salary to what male players around the word make

This. Is. Fantastic!!This. Is. Fantastic!!

Not sure how a two-year-old can own anything.

Pretty cool. Have them play 15 year old boys for practice.

Brava ladies!

Great News...😊

The most unimportant news headline I have seen today

Isn't Alexis a baby?

Great News! 🥂

So more players would kneel?

Nobody cares

She looks like my girlfriend! lol

All this fake news is becoming droll and nearly offensive.

We dont need another soccer team

Natalie’s ex-boyfriend Moby is delighted

It's football CNN.

I wonder if they’ll pay the same as a male MLS team.

N I'm just trying to pay off my student loans

True worship is important for everyone Without true worship life is useless To know more please watch sadhna channel at 7 30 pm or read Gyan ganga book SaintRampalJiM SatlokChannel

why is there a picture of Natalie Portman and not of Serena Williams? If anything, Serena Williams is a more recognizable face! Your bias is showing. DoBetter

I hope they are going to play against men to prove that they deserve equal pay.

This is great but I just have one question. A child can’t own something

Now that’s a money move! 🤑

cwebbonline Wow! This is big.

See, El is Kabir, and despiseth not any; He is Kabir in ko'ach lev (strength of understanding) Kabir is God and despises no one. In all Bible translations, the word kabir is translated as great or 'mighty'whereas Kabir is the name of the Supreme God mentioned in every scripture

Everyone should worship the true God Kabir for eternal peace and happiness. - Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj

Literally no one cares.

Exploitation of young women for profit.

freewimin Yes!!!

I don't think you mean her daughter.

All. Of. Them.👏🏻

Oh the amount of entitlement that will be rolling on that field is overwhelming already.

Who is she?

Inter woke fc

What happened to Natalie Portman? When did she turn 55?

No one cares who the owners/investors are. No one. If the franchise doesn't attract real 'supporters' they are destined for the scrap heap.

Im a total idiot its worse than being a wonan or juvinile whhite kid. Im littaraly a monkey. And i blame your socitty for the pain all idiotts must bear. i fap to taytay and i evidence and she rejected me. and i cried for days.

Fail
