Congress moves swiftly?


I find it ironic that a congressman from west Virginia simply puts in a bill demanding the US women's soccer team gets equal ...(and it moved on swiftly to the Senate for a vote)
Or else..

Or else they will halt the US portion of funds for the us/ canada/ mexico world cup..

Huh? First off since when does any bill move swiftly through congress

Second I thought it was illegal for them to craft a bill addressing one person..I seemed to remember congress wanted to pass a bill tailored to one unique person and it wasn't allowed..something about a girl and healthcare maybe.
Sure a team is more than one..but it is one team we are talking about.

Third..hold up..those aren't federal funds they are talking about holding up. They are tax payer dollars being used to fund soccer. I mean didnt the last world cup get 6 billion in revenue for the men's side...
We already have tons of stadiums,major league soccer fields in america...
So how much are we pitching in exactly?

Once again congress just steps in and throws at a supposed problem..

If Congress can act so swiftly then what is the hold up for say reparations or the student loan debt crisis..

Apparently we have just laying around to bully a private organization to change its policies..

Policies based on revenue mind you...imagine if the government told your boss all the women are getting raises today or else they will cut off this or that with your company.

I didn't know it was the government's job to be the blackmailing thug.

And once again why can we move quickly to correct one supposed social injustice ( you do realise the women's team get a bigger percentage of the pie..right)..
The men's organization just makes a shit load more money. The men's game has a bigger audience.

But Congress drags its ass on other social issues like transgendered students and bathrooms..
Why not craft a quick bill stating accept our stance or else we cut your fed funding..

But that never happens..could this congressman from west Virginia be up for re election?
