I'll get some downvotes for this but this is par the course for any serious level of sports teams including high school teams that compete at state levels. The NFL has curfews, check ins, and bedtimes and I'm willing to bet any other pro and semi pro sports team does too when your assets are entertainers whose sole purpose is to win. Sleep equals recovery. Alcohol and late nights ruin that. I bet after they won they spent that night partying hard. As for verbal abuse, watch what men's sport teams go through. There's a great documentary on the turn around of the Florida State gators head coach in the 90s. Discipline and bodily perfection isn't made by coddling. It's made by pushing someone to 100% and then ekking out even more. Regardless that article showcases some broadly overarching cultural problems that are endemic to Spain. As for the, "women sports entertainers should be paid as much as their male equivalent" argument, they need to be realistic with their demands. Sports entertainers are paid firstly through advertising dollars and secondly through butts in seats. Is the viewership there enough to draw in viewers over the course of an entire season say compared to some team like Manchester United? I don't know, but their union should be asking Nielsen for that data and arguing from that standpoint. If the answer is yes and management says no, strike. If the answer is no, then maybe those unions should be asking tougher questions to society at large. Good on the team for winning, it sounds like the tide is finally turning for woman's sports to have the same entertainment draw that make sports does.
