    So if women's sports aren't generating any money, then where should the money come from to pay the athletes more? The government? Are they asking to set up a charity foundation to pay female athletes?

    I hate to be that guy and want women to be paid fair. But the pay for women also relies on the fans that show up to the games, particularly women that need to show up to watch the games. If not enough fans show up, they are not going to get the money that they’re looking for. If the crowds are small, sponsors are not going to pay to market to small crowds which is another source of income. In the end, it is all simply economics.

      TeddyBearKnows because the level of sports is just so different between men and woman, just facts

    • @froggyjosh
      @froggyjosh 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @TeddyBearKnows Interesting point of view. I agree with you, that the question is...."why are the fans not showing up to female sports". Obviously, there will be many different reasons, and ONE of those reasons is that in general, humans love watching the peak of human performance. Unfortunately for women, in many cases, it's men that occupy that label in sports, and for obvious reasons.
      Answer me this. Would you be more interested in watching a human lift up a 264kg above their head, or 186kg? Is it more exciting to watch a human run 100 meters in 10 seconds or 8 seconds?
      If you're like most people in the world, it's more interesting seeing the faster & stronger, instead of the weaker and slower. This has NOTHING to do with penises or vaginas. It has to do with what is more interesting and entertaining. Corporations would rather pay money to those that attract the most attention, which UNFORTUNATELY in most cases is men, for the reasons stated above. This is not a discussion about gender or sexism, it's business and economics.

    • @froggyjosh
      @froggyjosh 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @TeddyBearKnows women golfers don't get the same amount of viewers as men, so they get paid less, It's as simple as that.
      Also, don't forget that women get paid more than men in some sports. Women netballers get paid WAYYYY more than men, but nobody complains about sexism. The women get paid more, because they're better, and get a lot more viewers and sponsors. Simple business economics.
      Same as Ronda Rousey when she was a big deal in the UFC, she was getting paid up to $3 million per fight, but nobody was calling it sexism.
      Why is this so hard to grasp?

    This is like players in MLS complaining they don’t make as much as players in the EPL, Laliga, or Bundesliga. Why? They aren’t good enough. I would truly love to see a female show up in the NBA and dominate. Not play ok but, crush everyone. Magen Rapinoe would never make the practice squad of a European soccer team. (Maybe U17)Sorry but, facts is facts.

    @juan_de_nacho 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    You don't earn the same pay as someone else because you play the same sport. What you earn is based on the amount people are willing to pay to watch you compete. In the case of the WNBA, they generate way below $100 million a year while the NBA generates billions. And if the NBA stopped paying their bills and covering their debt they would fold next year. The WNBA has always been the Make-a-Wish Foundation for women who want to pretend that they're pro athletes. If WNBA players were men they'd be going down the playground or the YMCA and playing pickup games for fun. They play in a league that's a charity paid for by men, and they whine about not making the same money as Lebron. If you want the same money as NBA players then make an NBA team. Or just shut the F up.

    This has all been debunked completely. It's not discrimination; it's the fact that many fewer people watch or follow women's sports so of course they will be paid less than men. It's not even close. They want equality of outcome and that is very dangerous.

    So in certain tennis tournaments, the men compete in as many as 5 sets, yet the women only 3. Less work, less training for fitness and they get the same pay. Equal rights? I don't think so. Here in Australia we have the AFL and the AFLW. The mens league is very profitable. The women's? Well, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it, let alone pay for a ticket or FOX subscription. That's the bottom line, it's not necessarily commercially viable, but prop it up they do, including wage increases while the AFL borrow more money. If they were to render equal pay, this would ultimately have come out of the men's wages, to make it any way possible. That is what you call reality.

    You don’t bring the same money, so you don’t get paid the same. This is like Wendy’s demanding the same revenue as McDonalds. You don’t sell the same! Put women in the same leagues that men compete in, and see how they fare… Sports are based on entertainment, and if the entertainment value isn’t there, you can’t ask for the same pay. This would be like if men complained that women in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue or the Victoria’s Secret catalogs are getting all the attention and money and the men aren’t being equally represented

    Sorry woman athletes, your sports don’t generate enough interest. Not even women watch women sports Tennis and Golf you can be millionaires but no one watches WNBA, Soccer, Football, Hockey, MMA, Boxing and others. There’s some tough women boxers and MMA fighters who deserve more money then men because they fight better. But women have stay home and watch sports and that will never happen. Men can spend hours watching football on Sunday or going out to a bar with the boys to watch a fight or a game. Women don’t want to do that. It’s different but that’s the way it is not going to change.
