#37Men get 100% of all the testicular and prostate cancers. In the name of fairness and gender equality we need women to step up and get that number down to 50%. Then we can worry about equal pay.
Also I believe the % of men that die while serving in the military is quite a bit higher than it is for the broads.Comment -

#40Nope, men get breast cancer too, just not as common.
Bottom line though is that I'm making fun out of all the gender equality nonsense.
Women have achieved equality under the law and are treated as such. The truth is we are not equal in ability and never will be. Thats why the US womens soccer team agreed to the inequality by playing in the much inferior WOMENS tournament instead of playing against the best teams in the world.
Also, these fukks want equality in everything which is communist. Why is the minimum wage not the same in California as Arkansas? Its endless.
Men always have done the heavy lifting in the world to make it what it is today. Now the broads come along and want to be equal. I say get the fukk outta here with that shit.Comment -

#43I hear ya. Like I said this one pretty easy, pro sports you get paid based off what they make off you. I’d imagine soccer and tennis much closer than sports nobody wants to see woman play like basketball. I don’t have any idea the numbers tho, obviously if they bringing in as much they should be paid as such, if not they shouldn’t.
Its a mans world, always will be. Lifes a bitch and then you die.Comment -

Maybe if the US Soccer lesbians were smart they would hire someone to negotiate a better deal/contract before the next Womens World Cup of (2nd rate) Soccer begins instead of complaining/whining after the fact.Comment -

#46They can chirp all they want. The only way they get more $$$ in these sports is to keep chirping and showing up on all these shows.
Now they have a voice.
BUT, to get more $$$, the product has to make more $$$. Beaver Ball?? GTFO ahere. Chick Golf. Like worth 17.25% a PGA event.
If the US Woman World cup team decided to boycott for equal pay...hmm. Would the billionaire TV execs give a fukk? No. Simply, no.
Woman do have a much easier time selling their bodies. Men paying for it. See Bob Kraft.Comment -

#47Would be interesting to know how popular women’s events would be if they had their own seperate tournaments for everything instead of piggybacking off the Men’s events for slams Masters etc.
Think they would get a rude awakening tbh.
If I am not betting on a women’s match in a minnow tournament I have zero interest in it.
There is a reason why the winners purse for smaller events is like half and dumbarses like Serena who keep fighting for equality don’t realise itComment -

#48Trump is going to make American women very happy when he creates the US Department of Homeland Equality.
Its duty will be to make sure everything within the country is equal, ALWAYS. 50/50 forever, anything other than 50/50 will be illegal and subject to removal.Comment -

#52Umm. There only one valid answer and I made it. Pay should be based off what the sport earns. Since I don’t know what the woman or men bring in I dunno if they should be paid equal. There no other argument to be made. Pay should only be equal if they bringing in equal amount of dollars. They should be making a equal percentage of the pie no matter what size that pie is.Comment -

Why shouldn't Serena fight for equality? I've watched her play more than any other tennis player in the last decade. Fuk the men.Comment -

#56I'm not opposed to equal work for equal pay....However.
Are the women generating the same revenue as the men? The model here is clearly money made by the sport/venue/etc via ad revenue and other streams.
If somebody can show me the women generate the same revenue as men for doing the same thing, pay them the same.
I'm not going to pay somebody the same for generating less revenue just because of their genitals. Equal pay for Equal work means just that.Comment -

#57Totally correct. If I have a salesperson who makes my company 5 million a year, and one who makes my company 1 million a year, guess who is getting paid the most? The last company I ran had 5 employees. 3 males, 2 female. One lady was Hispanic. I had no blacks working for me. The lady who was hispanic sold the most product. She got the highest pay. That simple people.
but i agree with your hypothetical scenarioComment -

#59I think women's tennis and soccer could possibly make more money than US men's. I think the men might be in for a rude awakening if they had separate tennis events. US Men's tennis is non existent and the men's soccer team usually loses. Who wants to follow that shit?

#62So , informations are from 2017 . However due to even bigger competition in Men's 4th-10th spot and lack of reliable Women icon like Sharapova the differences are even bigger nowadays.
Regarding tickets :
The ticket price disparity is even greater at Wimbledon, where the cheapest seat for the men’s final is going for £3,750 on Stubhub compared to just £960 for the women’s final. Stubhub and other secondary resellers also show a stubborn ticket price gap for the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds, where the men’s days go for three to four times what the women’s days are priced at.
Regarding TV ratings :
The men also typically draw higher TV ratings, even in the United States, although Serena has won 17 majors since 2004 while no American man has won even one during this time span. Ratings for the men’s final at this year’s French Open on NBC were 45 percent higher than for the women (1.6 million average versus 1.1). U.S. ratings for the Federer-Nadal Australian Open final this year were 19 percent higher than for the Serena-Venus final, and more than double, 4.4 million versus 1.7 million in Australia.
The ratings gap for American audiences at this year’s Miami Open was 48 percent, while at last year’s U.S. Open it was 13 percent. Last year’s men’s Wimbledon final attracted 9.7 million viewers in the United Kingdom, with the women’s final at just 4.3 million. According to statistics compiled by the BBC, 395 million fans watched WTA Premier events on TV and online in 2015, compared with 973 million for Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) events.
