WAGE DISCRIMINATION

The US players. They claim their federation to charge the same as men.

 

Carol Lloyd, Hope Solo, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn, World and Olympic champions, have filed a lawsuit against his Federation.

Five of the most important players of the national football team of US, World and Olympic champions, have filed a federal lawsuit against wage discrimination Soccer Federation United States.

In the complaint, the five players argue that the women's team is the economic engine of soccer in the United States, but his players paid much less than their peers in the men's national team.

Those involved in the complaint are five of the most prominent and award-winning athletes in the world: the co-captains Carli Lloyd and Becky Sauerbrunn, forward Alex Morgan, midfielder Megan Rapinoe and goalkeeper Hope Solo. In his complaint they maintained that the salaries of women are nearly four times less than their male national team in the US counterparts.

The complaint was filed Thursday in a statement with the signing of the players. "The numbers speak for themselves," Hope Solo said in a statement. "We are the best in the world, we have three championships of the World Cup, four Olympic championships. They are paid more just for show and us less to win major championships.

The union representing the players is currently involved in a legal dispute with the Federation by the terms of their collective agreement. The agency filed a lawsuit this year trying to clarify that the agreement of the national football players team of the Association of Women of the United States shall be valid from the Olympic Games in Rio until 31 December. The union maintains, however, that the understanding agreed in March 2013 can be interrupted at any time.

Attorney Jeffrey Kessler, one of the lawyers representing the players, said the state of negotiations on the CBA has created the need for women to act in the hope of ending what it says is the "discriminatory treatment and unjust "they have endured for years.

"The reality is that this team is more valuable for the Federation that the men's team. That's what the facts show, "Kessler said in a conference call with reporters.”And that justifies ask charge more than men. But the first step they are looking for is equal treatment. That should be an easy step for the Federation.

The Federation issued a statement saying he was unaware of the complaint, but added that he is "disappointed" with the action. "We have been a world leader in women's football and we are proud of the commitment we have had with the sport over the last 30 years," said the statement.

Many national team players had already spoken out in favor of gender equity in sport, which was claimed before the World Cup last year in Canada. A group of players led by Abby Wambach filed a complaint in Canada to play on artificial turf, while the men's World Cup is played on natural grass.

Alex Morgan made it clear that it is not a single factor that has led them to file the complaint. "It is the right step for us to go ahead with this team," he said.

The US women's team has qualified for the Olympic Games this summer in Brazil, and is currently in Florida for a couple of exhibition games against Colombia.

Nobody suffers like Atletico

PSV force penalties at the Calderon (0-0), but the failure of Narsingh condemns Cocu and ranks the Rojiblancos quarter.

Dad does not deplete the arguments to explain to your child why are fans of Atletico. PSV did not missing words, but facts and images. Atletico is a feeling that is transmitted from parents to children through nights like this, that enhance the legend. The legend of a team that knows how to suffer like anyone, even without scoring a goal in two games to his rival, repeating a 0-0 at the Calderon which melted the heart more than one. A failure in eight penalty shots was enough to jettison the great work of Coco, because no failed Juanfran (8-7) and Atletico are already in the quarterfinals.

He had flirted Simeone during the week with an offensive approach, with an ambitious 4-3-3 in search of a savior goal. A whole smokescreen, unloving Argentine concessions to the stands. Athletic is all heart your all attitude, but not a team that is released like crazy to the goal, despite the 0-0 first-leg invite it.

PSV knew what to do with the ball at all times

Atletico gave the ball to PSV, perhaps relying on the little ability with the ball Cocu and steal many balls in the building to create danger. Nothing is further from reality. The Dutch team grew at the Calderon as a stream in the middle of a storm. Comfortable with the ball, knew what to do with it at all times. It was a tactical clash, full of details, such as individual labels which ordered Coke.

As happened in Eindhoven, Griezmann could change the sign of the party, but his aim in Europe is becoming worrying. Just completed the quarter hour, Zoe he pulled a ball from goal, once that at this point in the film can not fail. Thereafter, he appeared the best version of PSV, full of confidence with the recovery of De Jong reference. Locadia appeared everywhere and Willems raged on the left side. Atletico central salary in each of its centers earned. Juanfran was dismasted. It also emerged the figure of Oblak, successful in their decisions, taking a hand of great merit.

No signs of life Atletico. Griezmann was gone and Carrasco, elected as his companion attack, could not find the spaces with how comfortable you feel. Everything changed after the break, when the PSV seemed to acknowledge the physical exhaustion, but was also merit Atletico, who started stepping Zoet area more clearly. Gimenez, head; Augusto, far and Filipe Luis, volley; They lost the battle with the surprising Dutch goalkeeper.

With the team Simeone dump was PSV who had the best chance so far. But the shot slightly deflected Locadia Oblak, enough to run into the bar. A Morrocotudo scare for Atletico aimlessly. Simeone got to Torres, but soon took to Carrasco. Nobody knew what to play, whether to attack or be conservative. An ideal place for Coco, still more than alive scenario. Even after Torres post. The extension seemed inevitable, driven by Oblak and Zoe.

Zoe Oblak and pushed the game into overtime

The extra time was consumed without the direction of the tie will vary one iota course. They were in total 210 minutes without any of the two teams succeeds in scoring a single goal. All merit, that is true, but worthy of the museum of horrors. Penalties would decide which team would quarter. Things are matched and did not care at the Calderon play in Maracana. Eleven meters are not owned by anyone.

Penalties turned shotguns sniper rifles fair. An unexplained phenomenon. The first fourteen ended in a goal, with all the pressure for Atletico, throwing in the second position. Until it was his turn to Narsingh, who plugged the crossbar. Juanfran free to Simeone ran the band and her damsels times. His team was in the quarterfinals because nobody knows how to suffer as his Athletic

Emotion and power: 20 years CUPRA

True to its original spirit, the family of sports CUPRA SEAT Sport continues to give many joys lovers benefits

CUPRA is synonymous with performance, emotion, sportiness. As RS for Audi, BMW or AMG Motorsport Mercedes-Benz. Only the CUPRA concept was born here in Seat. This name came from the words Cup (Copa) and Racing (Competition). And so from twenty years ago. Indeed, in 1996, it appeared the first Ibiza CUPRA 2.0 with 150 hp, a historical and extraordinary event, since it was a car with a performance unusual for the time.

It has much merit that a brand like Seat, often influenced by the powerful industrial part of the Volkswagen group, has been able to create their own sports brand, a saga of cars with a special seal. The idea arose from the participation of Seat in the World Rally Championship, and the post title in the 2-liter mark Martorell achieved with the Ibiza Kit-Car.

Both cars, racing, and street, were developed in parallel in the SEAT Sports department, then headed by Vicente Aguilera, current President of the Circuit de Catalunya. "We designed a car that could lead to the end of each day, to respond to the power and grip of a sports car in everyday situations," said Jaime Puig, director of SEAT Sport and linked for many years to the development of the CUPRA models.

"They are exciting and fun to drive cars, with which can placid trip with the family or meet the most demanding roads," Puig said proudly. He adds, "in Seat have always had a special sensitivity to reach customers who enjoy making the most potential to their cars." This sensitivity has been maintained over the years and moves even the models of "normal" series. And the touch transmits, especially the current Seat models, is recognized by all specialists differential factor.

So twentieth anniversary of the first CUPRA, which as mentioned was a 150 hp 2.0 Ibiza. The Ibiza was born in 1984 and had already become a sales phenomenon and a social icon among younger drivers. And Seat decided to bet heavily in that direction but enhancing performance. The result was a powerful compact model, light and reaching 216 km / h top speed and accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h in just 8.3 seconds. A surprising car. Well defined Jaime Puig: "It was addressed to a public eager to have a car for maximum performance". And we should add: and at a price very contained compared to sports of the time.

In any case, the success of the CUPRA saga, also valued in markets like Germany, UK, Switzerland, and Mexico, is due to the constant commitment of Seat by technology. In this regard, it is noteworthy the work jointly and coordinated between Seat Sport and the Technical Centre that the brand has in Martorell.

Later, in 2000 he appeared the second model CUPRA Seat's history, the Ibiza CUPRA 1.8 20VT 156 hp. As a novelty, introduced the electronic stability control (ESP), a safety device in a vehicle pioneer in this category.

And that year the Leon CUPRA family to be added. And he did brilliant and innovative way, with a 2.8 V6 engine 204 hp and four-wheel drive. And later that year, came the Ibiza CUPRA R engine and 180 hp 1.8 20VT. The R added to the name attested to the escalation of power through which Seat was betting. There were even CUPRA versions of Córdoba and now with the body of the new León CUPRA, there is a family.

That is Seat normalized sportsmanship in its range of cars. But the greatest impact on these 20 years was achieved in October 2014, with the car lap record standard with front-wheel drive on the legendary Nürburgring in the hands of Jordi Gené. And there will be more successes. We are convinced.

Seat Leon CUP RACER
 
Seat continues its commitment to motorsports and currently organizes the Seat León Eurocup in the best European circuits. The Lion CUP RACER is the racing car that the brand has prepared for this single-brand trophy. Closely related to the Leon CUPRA street, the CUP RACER mounted engine with 330 hp 2.0 TSI DSG and electronic differential. This year there is a second, improved version called CUP RACER TCR with sequential shift for endurance races and championships all TCR.

The Wetsuit

The Wetsuit is for water sports.

Neoprene shelters us and allows us to extend surf sessions for hours ... also allows our body to get wet but only with millimeter water layer. This layer is trapped between the body and the fabric of the suit, so that heat is not transferred to the mass of the ocean and is retained in the micro layer of water. There are also "dry" suits called, this category of suits are thicker and in this case the body does not get wet (generally used for diving, deep water and colder)

There are short dresses also called "Spring" suits sleeves and long legs, long sleeves and short legs and short sleeves and long legs. The thickness of the neoprene is what makes a suit entertains more or less. What is common is that the thickness is 2 millimeters. Winter suits are usually 2 MM sleeves and legs and 3 MM in the chest and back. These suits are called 3-2 are also 4-3; 5-3 or 5-4 to more extreme conditions. Chest gray panels also Gama, which is rougher to the touch and waterproof, and its function is mostly avoid the cooling effect of wind on the chest and back are used.

There are also gloves, a kind of socks or booties and neoprene caps to insulate the cold throughout the body.
