    That's sad. Colon cancer should be pretty avoidable if you get the screenings. They just clip those pollops and your lining rejuvenates every 7 days.

        No, I answered the original question. If same revenue generated, same pay. Everything else is noise.

            The men play in an "open" tournament.

            I don't think there is any rule about women not being allowed.

            They only offer the womens tournament as a secondary, lower class event imho.
            .

              Women have gotten a warped sense of worth regarding sports. Look at the WNBA for prime example. They actually opted out of their CBA and want a comparable revenue share to the NBA. This despite the fact the league has lost money every year since inception.

                FACT


                if we want to talk equality, how about raising the mens pay
                Your right on the money. It isnt about who wins more,its about economics and thats all its about. The women dont even have a serious League for christ sake.

                  They were saying that the interest in the Women's Final in the States narrowly out rated the Mens Final from 2018 in a tournament the men weren't even in. Can you imagine if the Womens States team hadn't made it to the Final? The Viewership would be lucky to be a quarter of what it was heh.

                    Without a doubt,the numbers would have been abysmal.

                    Outside of Patriotism factor,what have they got to offer. They have no real league,not one worth mentioning that's for sure,what do they do outside of Team USA.

                    Ask most people what the MLS is and they'll know,even if they aren't fans of the Sport.

                      It's called free market capitalism,

                      Men make more because they generate more revenue.

                        No.

                        This equality in tennis is precisely the reason WNBA players ara going apeshit fantasizing about making a million a year.

                        Tennis is not the same as basketball and women's tennis is much, much better as a spectator sport. But equal pay? You have to be kidding me.

                            The truth comes out.

                              I was at Forest Hills in 1977 where the US Open took place. There was a 43 yer old eye surgeon converted into a women named Renee Richards. His name was originally Dr. Richard Raskin.

                              Richards lost to Virginia Wade in the first round of singles, but reached the final of the women’s doubles, before a team featuring Martina Navratilova - a player she would later coach for two years - knocked her out.

                              Does this tell you anything about the joke of women's tennis to begin with. For her or him, or whatever she was to actually qualify for the US Open at 43 years old tells you all you need to know.

                                Hah, great report. And the woman at the end still denies the truth like a criminal who denies that it's him on CCTV.

                                    ask any advertiser if they are willing to pay the same $6mln for a Super Bowl commercial that's 15-20 seconds long, compared to the usual 30 seconds










                                    that's the difference between an average WTA 2 setter and an ATP 3 setter

                                      how's this for an idea

                                      sign a cba that rewards your performance on court PLUS your league and your team's financial performance for the duration of 5 seasons












                                      I would imagine 99% of the players will want to go back to the old (CURRENT) system where they actually get paid instead of subsidizing thousands of seats given away to middle school kids and cheap food and drink that barely sells at the games


                                      They think making 100k a season is bad/unfair, try paying 100k for the privilege to play in the WNBA for a season!

                                        Not just sports. You have Whales and Trolls thinking they deserve a man that’s a 9 thanks to the internet.

                                          If people are watching them (TV revenue) and going to the matches, then let them be paid accordingly.
