“You’re a misogynistic dinosaur if you don’t care about women’s football”

Rollins over at CDN has an interesting round-up of some of the (perceived) criticisms of the Canadian national men's team in light of the women's success (which so far amounts to an honourable loss to Germany).

I have to say though, it would have been a little more convincing if Rollins had provided concrete links. I've read a lot on the women's tournament so far, and while I've seen quite a fair bit of the "noble warriors" stuff, particularly from the Globe and Mail's Stephen Brunt, I have yet to be convinced there's an anti-mens soccer thing from any media pundit worth taking seriously.

The fourth argument, that supporting the mens team is supporting the CSA, is entirely new to me.
