ya if some dumb woman came asking me this question i wouldnt dance around it like him i would be honest and say women are worse and less athletic therefore less entertaining so the masses watch the far superior male counterpart which then draws in more money and can then pay their players more.

He's exactly right. No matter what his answer is the reporters will take sound bites or his words out of context in order to make a sensational headline that sells news.
you're looking at it the wrong way. There are tonnes of reporters that don't make sensationalist titles, and guess who reads them? Not many people. If tomorrow, this news outlet starts being honest, it will fall in rating, and another dishonest one will rise to the top. They do this because there's a demand for it. When was the last time you took your time to find a good reporter and went out of your way to promote or reward them? You start by: 1) having discipline to not fall for click bait; 2) taking your time to actively look for good journalism, not just passively wait for whatever comes; 3) rewarding good journalism with more than just clicks or views. If people do this, we will see less click bait and more content. But people would never see fault in themselves, they rather blame it on the media, who operates on the same law Rafael Nadal has stated - they are rewarded for what they were able to sell / generate.
no but if the uploader didnt put DESTROYED then it wouldnt have been as impactful, just as Rafa quite literally said in his message. good that people fully understood him and didnt do the exact same thing he is complaining about.
That’s because half of the politicians want to push and exploit this lie about unequal pay. In the USA it is quite evident which half is manipulating voters with this 💩
That's because he is valuable. Politicians and middle men who are not valuable need chaos to create value for themselves based in other people's ignorance.

I think you may benefit from knowing what the difference between toxic masculinity and all men are toxic is. If you want to be angry at least know what it is you are angry about!
"Toxic masculinity" is a loaded term that can be used to describe an individual who has poor social skills, while simultaneously making an ignorant blanket statement about their entire gender. Same with "mansplaining" - an individual explains something in a condescending way (which of course, women also do), with an ignorant blanket statement attached to make it seem like only men do it.
As a bilingual Spanish speaker who is only accustomed to hearing Rafa speak the majority of the times in English esp at the Aussie Open, this is really one of the first occasions I have heard him respond in his native language and the eloquence in this dignified, articulate and magnanimous response to the goading reporter is utterly splendid!!! A true gentleman and a highly intelligent athlete! Bravo!!!
Oh absolutely yes. I am in America and obviously English is spoken widely here. During the years, I would see interviews with someone who learned English as a second language (or is in the process of learning it). Listening them answer in English and then in their native language is night and day. Obviously, this varies depending on the individual. My hat's off to people that can speak multiple languages as it is something I never had the opportunity to do.
Great point. My parents are Mexican so that's the Spanish I know. However, even though his Spanish is slightly different I still can see that he's presenting a well articulated commentary on this issue
Awesome response. Wonderful lesson to media. Whether media learns and behaves civilized is a question for the media to answer! He simply gave a fantastic reply.
According to corporate media ideology, the media should "create" controversy in order to increase ratings. This means disrupting what might otherwise be harmonious situations for the very sake of disrupting them. So there is a built-in barbarism in corporate mass media.
She did absolutely nothing wrong asking the question and the irony is this headline was total clickbait. We don’t know if she was a feminist and he didn’t destroy her. He was just being authentic and honest per usual. Reporters don’t make the money - the news outlets do and guess what sells and what people want? Drama and opinions instead of facts. Only when we change and stop buying into it will it change. So leave the poor reporter alone and choose facts/news over clickbait. And I clicked on this because I watch all things Rafa and the rest of the Big Four because I will live and respect them forever. They are all intelligent, wise, talented and evolved humans so I’m inspired every time I watch or listen to them 💚💛
@@aburden8580 Shame you can't see he's intellectually solid as well. What a great answer. No sport can pay out more than it generates, unless it's supported somehow. Where do you think the support should come from? And why?
He hit it exactly when he said it depends on "your ability to sell". If womens sports cant sell or generate enough fans like mens sports can, then of course they deserve less pay. Its business
Absolutely! I don't think that women should be paid less for doing the same work as men, but in the tennis example given, most ladies' matches are shorter than men's matches. Ladies play a maximum of 3 sets in a Grand Slam match, whereas men play a minimum of 3 sets. Also, if you were to carry out a survey on the street and ask 'who is the current Wimbledon (or French, US or Australian) champion, then most responses will be a man's name. Women just don't attract the same size audience. Rafa's example about modelling is a good one. Many women will buy clothes depending on who's modelled them, whereas men don't really care. A high profile female model could earn an organisation far more than a male model, so should be paid more accordingly. Female footballers earn less than men, but if their wages were the same, would as many people pay to watch them? Probably not. I personally think that male footballers are grossly overpaid, but if people pay to watch them play, then the demand is there. If their clubs try to pay them less then they'll move to another club. That's how business works.
@@kwilson5832 While I agree with your general point, I actually prefer watching women's tennis nowadays because it is more tactical, whereas the mens game is increasingly just serve and volley.
@@mgsee Thats great. Now if 50% of all tennis fans were you, they would make the same. Rhonda Rousey made the most in the UFC during her time there. She sold the most tickets. She got paid the most. Its common sense. It has nothing to do with man or woman. Its about tickets and merchandise sold.
@@Sins13Ronda actually said when asked about it that the reason why she was the best paid in UFC wasn't because Dana White wanted to do something nice for women but because she was their top draw and in sports you are paid according to your ability to draw
I think "deserve" is the entirely wrong word here. You might "deserve" the same amount of pay for doing similar work. But if nobody wants to see you, thats irrelevant. If the customers decide what they want to see, they won't always honor those who did the best work. Thats just the way it is. You should of course always try to get rid of hurdles that prevent people from having success. But even if there are none left, not everyone will get what they "deserve".
he's well versed in dealing with media, like any public figure should be, and he's not wrong about the quest for "gotcha" moments or questions. But the point that stood out for me the most (from which he skillfully pivoted) is that he only mentioned one profession (modeling), one where mainly outward appearances are paramount, as example of where women can typically make more. this does not show some balanced equation from which this reporter is only highlighting one side. subsequently if he attempted to create a comparative list (which the remained of his answer appeared to me to suggest would contain a somewhat equal ratio of professions) then the rest of his answer may have been quite different, and less relevant. @@bikerrecumbent1064
@@saxyeaHypocritical about what? He's a tennis player. This woman at the interview had an agenda, and she asked him a woke question which had nothing to do with his tennis, and his answer illuminated the hypocrisy of the question perfectly.
I know exactly what woke means. She asked him a lefty political question which has nothing to do with him. Perhaps she wanted him to virtue signal and say "It's wrong", but he gave the perfect answer. @@shougokawada8491
That is a perfect and acceptable diplomatic answer. He recognizes the hypocrisy and shows zero desire to act as some virtue signaling ambassador over issues he has absolutely nothing to do with. He stays in his athletic lane.
He could also say , that it is not up to him to dictate who gets paid more. He works hard, and the tournaments and money he generates through his "brand" are completely dependant upon sponsorship, views, media share of advertising, ratings ticket sales, and his own advertising/management team. If women want to get paid more, it's up to them to try to generate more revenue, and negotiate that revenue for themselves. I do me, you do you. If you want more of a share, help do more to generate the revenue to support that.
@@freshprinceofsolair Some women's sports are watched less often than the men's version and therefore generate less revenue(for example football). Other sports relating to women are more popular than the men's version(gymnastics). If you want women to earn more go watch their games more cause that's all it comes down to. How many people watch.
I am going to take a moment to thank Nadal for a thoughtful, intelligent answer to a stupid, agenda driven question. These are the moments when great players shine beyond the game they play. He could have just mailed it in, sure he gets these questions all the time, but he took the time and energy to provide a thoughtful response.
I actually don't think it's a stupid question, and he answered the question perfectly. Now if they twist his answer that would be a separate issue, but there is nothing wrong with the question itself.
@@ProlificxIf you don’t see anything stupid about that question, you should question your intelligence and sanity.

@@nashbullet3213 Go to the dictionary and look up the word "question" then think about what you said. Your comment is an excellent example as to why questions are important... assumptions are dumber than questions.

The US women's National team lost to Dallas FC's U15 so they were even younger than you said. I wouldn’t call them retired, I don’t know why you said that considering they are just academy players, how would they be retired at that point.
@@TheMoonManBGk In another instance they lost to retired players as well. He just didn't put it properly so it seemed he said 16 yrs old retired players. Basically they lost to both senior citizens and kids, . 😭🤣
Many vastly underestimate Nadal's intelligence. He's incredibly insightful, and even manages eloquence in English. Such a thoughtful and prudent person.
@khumanchapukhramba4207 many are in their top professions or expertise but still say arupid things. It's foolish of you to say those who think otherwise are foolish. You are the one who is foolish here
Not all athletes are intelligent and honest like him. He cares about sports not sponsorship like others we see signing up with big brands. Good job Nadal!
He was too scared to tell the full truth though. the simple truth is that more people (including women) find the men's game significantly more interesting. The players are faster, stronger and more skilled. they even have to play more games giving the audience more for their money. On every level it is superior and therefore pays more. Doesn't means women's tennis is enjoyable to watch... it just isn't worth as much.
@@sheffieldzamo7444 I don’t think he was scared but rather realistically understands the futility of getting into the conversation. Even you draw a picture, use a financial graph or use the most basic elementary terms to show them the truth , their so strictly blindfolded ideology only allows them to believe their side period. Case in point the joke of the WNBA and their viewership let alone the empty stands. And the embarrassment of the female espn sports caster saying to one player “you need to get yours”. Again you can’t win against stupidity so why waste the energy.
@@sheffieldzamo7444 Feminist women hate the truth. That's why if Nadal had said what he felt without having to apologize for what he said and the female reporter would have taken offense and aback to his comments, she would have written an article slandering and criticizing him calling him a sexist and misogynist. Nadal saw through the attempted blatant set up.
@@sheffieldzamo7444 he wasnt scared he even saido "when you do your job with quality and Generate the money then you will get paid more" in few words most of the sports woman do profesionally doesnt generate enough money to get paid the same as what men earns, he pretty much said so in that line.
The true answer should be: If women want the same pay as men then they should compete in the men's tour. Take a look at world chess rankings, a sport which don't require physical advantages to compete, & see how women rank there.

Best answer to a controversial question from a man who is just succeeding in his sport. Insightful, Intelligent, Non-Sexist , pragmatic and realistic for all to understand and hear! Good for him.
Yes, absolutely perfect. It's expedient for him to pretend he doesn't know the answer to the question so he just basically says 'I don't know'. I'm sure all his female colleagues were very happy to hear him completely fail to come out in their support.
My respect for this man just shot up. Not that I didn’t respect him before, but now I’m in awe of the way he was able to put together such an honest, concise and articulate answer without getting rattled.
Pity he didn't add that women are actually paid far more per hour in grand slams than men are due to the sexist best of 5 sets as opposed to best of 3 for women.Imagine if that was the other way around ?? Female players would go on strike
What a great answer. He actually answered to her question "what you are able to sell or generate" and that is exactly the reason why male tennis earns more than female tennis.
But in tennis, do the men generate more revenue than the woman? Serena has probably been the biggest draw/name in tennis over the last couple of decades. I mean, I don't know the stats, but in tennis specifically, the women's game is extremely popular and I'd say equal to the men if not more popular.
@@just.do.somethinglook at the TV viewership for Grand Slam finals - men's finals almost always get substantially more audience. Serena might get bigged up by the pundits, but there were always more fans tuning in for Roger v Rafa v Novak.
A thoughtful and reasoned logic. Self awareness and connection with relevance when he mentions his mum and sister and his desire for equality, however, it should be based on the quality of work rather than gender. It's not the people on the frontline who reporters should be asking this question to, but to the decision makers, the leaders and HR of a business who are the gatekeepers. If it's so important then they're the ones who set the rules. The reality is they'll always be a divide unless you fight for your value. And if you don't get it from one place then you should leave to get it from somewhere else. Don't wait and expect equality to magically happen. It won't. It hasn't.
Funny how the media portrays actual intelligent answers as crazy. Nadal, Jokavic, and Johnathan Isaac have all given very nuanced and measured answers on controversial issues and been slandered for it. Meanwhile idiots like Lebron James and Megan Rapinoe just spew nonsense and they are hailed as hero’s. It’s almost as though they’re not actual journalists, just political hacks.
It's a simple comparison that doesn't really make sense. Good starting point to a discussion perhaps but hardly an 'intelligent response'. It'd be more fair if he just admitted that he benefitted from decades more of PR, exposure and interest, financial investing and training than women do in the same sport. It wouldn't hurt him one bit to speak out on the inequality in pay in sports. He just chooses not to.
@@shoelacedonkeyhe speaks 100% truth, there is no such things about ineqality paygap in sport, if you sucks at your job and can't generate significant amount of money, you got paid less, that's how it always work
@@shoelacedonkey The question posed didnt make sense. What is equal pay based on? Sportspeople are entertainers, just like musicians. Its hardly equal pay in the music industry, its about the number of bums on seats. I dont expect everyone to be paid the same, not every entertainment product is of equal entertainment value. I expect Beyonce to be paid more than most men in the industry. This is not the same as going to work for a bank where there are equal job structures to ensure equal work is done driving the same output. Ultimately it can argued that women are paid better in Grand Slam tennis than men on an hourly rate seeing that men often play best of 5 sets & women best of 3. A womens final drives far less TV advertising revenue being a best of 3 sets than the men. So what exactly is equal pay based on?
I’ll bet you that reporter didn’t expect such an analysed response to her question! Bravo Rafael, you should get rewarded for the work you produce and how well it sells, regardless of gender. Spot on! ❤
yea it's same for movie actors, singers, comedians etc. It all boils down to how many tickets they sell. A lot of people show up in movie theater because Tom Cruise is in the movie and he gets paid accordingly. Same with Taylor Swift, Bill Burr, Mike Tyson and Lionel Messi, nothing to do with gender. If more people were interested in women football and they could sell out the whole stadium ,they would make more money too.
He is absolutely right. Every man or woman deserves the same opportunities and being woman or man should not be a factor in your earnings. Only the quality that you deliver and in sports how many people watch it.
@@GhANeC: Yes, however he did this *while* being classy and respectful, not hostile or defensive. In fact, his answer is perfectly feminist; after all, feminism is just striving for equal rights. I consider myself a feminist, I agree with everything that Nadal said.
I love how people say that kind of stuff. The biggest journalist tycoon, Willian Randolph Hearst used to say 'I make news', and he was one of modern journalism's fathers with Pulitzer

Yeah here's the answer: Market economics. People like to look and female models, but also enjoy men's sports more. Not a huge stretch to understand why.
what facts did he lay on the table? The fact that society cares more about the way women look than what they can do? The fact that they are prepared to pay more money for their looks than their skills? What a rediculous take that it is a "burn". I like him and I appreciate his answer, but it is the same old trope and you believing to be anything different than that shows why. And the title of this video isent intended to cause controversy?
@@ggproductions7078 "The fact that society cares more about the way women look than what they can do?" Oh, by that you mean the fact that WOMEN care more about how WOMEN look than what they can "do"? Kinda like that, you mean? You know if it were such a shame that WOMEN are seen as these objects of appeal that WOMEN could simply stop propagating that industry...right? And yet, here we are, watching WOMEN care about how WOMEN look. Men don't make women wear what they wear or look how they look - that's one woman trying to outdo the other woman next to her. NO ONE cares more about how a woman looks than ANOTHER WOMAN. It's okay. I get that logic and rational thought might be hard for you, so take a minute to soak it in.
@@ggproductions7078 You twisted or what? Men are judge by look as much as woman. You think without look men can get success? It take all hard work, talent, look and luck to success. Some job chooses gender not the others way around men and woman irrelevant.
Well said King. Preach that shit. People need to understand this. Everyone should be treated equal and the media needs to stop looking for controversy and to twist people's words to sell papers, as that is the biggest problem of all. We need truth tellers, not for profit newspapers

"It seems to me that just in the ratio that our newspapers increase, our morals decay. The more newspapers the worse morals.

But nobody believes this. Everyone says it, but NO ONE believes people should be equal. Every day i am met with more & more examples of people who have privileges that they didnt earn, when given the chance to eschew them in the name of equality, they refuse. The ONLY people who believe in equality are those of lower status/station in life. Everyone else is happy with their privileged position and the inequality it entails.

He was very polite. The correct answer is very straight-forward though. The wage gap in tennis depends on the fact that male players sell more tickets, reach out to more people on TV, and raise more profits to sponsor. It also depends on the fact that competition is much stronger with 50 % more professional male players. There is also the fact that the top 10000 male players would always beat the top 3 women players.
@@johannaw2031 sure but you're not really answering the question either. Of course ticket sales influence the pay gap, but then the real question is why do we want to watch men play more than women? In my opinion it's mostly a cultural thing. What do we value in a man or in a woman?
@@lairlair2 We watch men because they consistently perform at a higher level than women. Even if you just look at one aspect of tennis like say serve speed, the top woman will not outperform the top 50 or so men. It's not a cultural thing, it's based on performance.

It annoys me that they went on and on about this but never answered the key question - why should women get paid the same for less work. They only play the best of 3 at all events. Men play best of 5 in many and all the Majors. If you do the math based on time on court, women earn more.

@@chrisyoung4482 are you okay? Trying to adoctrinate people in a youtube comment section. Jeez!
He's exactly right. No matter what his answer is the reporters will take sound bites or his words out of context in order to make a sensational headline that sells news.
you're looking at it the wrong way. There are tonnes of reporters that don't make sensationalist titles, and guess who reads them? Not many people.
If tomorrow, this news outlet starts being honest, it will fall in rating, and another dishonest one will rise to the top. They do this because there's a demand for it. When was the last time you took your time to find a good reporter and went out of your way to promote or reward them?
You start by: 1) having discipline to not fall for click bait; 2) taking your time to actively look for good journalism, not just passively wait for whatever comes; 3) rewarding good journalism with more than just clicks or views.
If people do this, we will see less click bait and more content. But people would never see fault in themselves, they rather blame it on the media, who operates on the same law Rafael Nadal has stated - they are rewarded for what they were able to sell / generate.

@@ggproductions7078 Enlighten me - what is toxic masculinity?
"Toxic masculinity" is a loaded term that can be used to describe an individual who has poor social skills, while simultaneously making an ignorant blanket statement about their entire gender.
Same with "mansplaining" - an individual explains something in a condescending way (which of course, women also do), with an ignorant blanket statement attached to make it seem like only men do it.
@@ggproductions7078 Yes answer please ! I know what toxic humans are, but what is toxic masculinity or toxic femininity ?
@@CountOfMonteFistoSo blanket statements such as "men are trash" are considered toxic then?
As a bilingual Spanish speaker who is only accustomed to hearing Rafa speak the majority of the times in English esp at the Aussie Open, this is really one of the first occasions I have heard him respond in his native language and the eloquence in this dignified, articulate and magnanimous response to the goading reporter is utterly splendid!!! A true gentleman and a highly intelligent athlete! Bravo!!!
same here, first time watching him in spanish and he is for sure super smart, just by how he conjugates the words.
Oh absolutely yes. I am in America and obviously English is spoken widely here. During the years, I would see interviews with someone who learned English as a second language (or is in the process of learning it). Listening them answer in English and then in their native language is night and day. Obviously, this varies depending on the individual. My hat's off to people that can speak multiple languages as it is something I never had the opportunity to do.
Great point. My parents are Mexican so that's the Spanish I know. However, even though his Spanish is slightly different I still can see that he's presenting a well articulated commentary on this issue
We all love Rafa here in the UK. He’s a good man.
I would do this too just to throw off reporters 😂
That was a pleasure to watch. Said with so much patience
Spoken like a true champion, and absolutely right,
Awesome response. Wonderful lesson to media. Whether media learns and behaves civilized is a question for the media to answer! He simply gave a fantastic reply.
What If i get some irrational feeling that women respective dwarf-men have bigger opportunity than all other people?
bro nailed it all at 2:20
that literally summarizes everything
According to corporate media ideology, the media should "create" controversy in order to increase ratings. This means disrupting what might otherwise be harmonious situations for the very sake of disrupting them. So there is a built-in barbarism in corporate mass media.
I do not know why the reporters think they achieve something with this, glad Nadal drew some lines of comparison to explain his views.
Reporters have big egos and they know they cannot play the sport and win..So they play the game of making successful, hard working people look bad.
@@MineshBaxiYTRemember when Coach Bob Knight said that reporters were basically one step above prostitution?
@@Longenecker1776Yes, and I also remember when Coach Knight threw a metal chair across a court surrounded by spectators.
She did absolutely nothing wrong asking the question and the irony is this headline was total clickbait. We don’t know if she was a feminist and he didn’t destroy her. He was just being authentic and honest per usual. Reporters don’t make the money - the news outlets do and guess what sells and what people want? Drama and opinions instead of facts. Only when we change and stop buying into it will it change. So leave the poor reporter alone and choose facts/news over clickbait.

Impressively sincere answer. Nadal gives me the impression of a rock solid guy, both physically and mentally.
It would have been great if he would have mentioned the inequality of women`s inflated share in divorce settlements.
@@REDMAN29810/10
"Rock solid" physically. He's an athlete. Real depth there, in your comment. Great stuff.
He answered the question by saying what he wanted. Someone else can address your specific concern.
@@aburden8580 Shame you can't see he's intellectually solid as well. What a great answer. No sport can pay out more than it generates, unless it's supported somehow. Where do you think the support should come from? And why?
Grande Rafa!!
He hit it exactly when he said it depends on "your ability to sell". If womens sports cant sell or generate enough fans like mens sports can, then of course they deserve less pay. Its business
Absolutely! I don't think that women should be paid less for doing the same work as men, but in the tennis example given, most ladies' matches are shorter than men's matches. Ladies play a maximum of 3 sets in a Grand Slam match, whereas men play a minimum of 3 sets.
Also, if you were to carry out a survey on the street and ask 'who is the current Wimbledon (or French, US or Australian) champion, then most responses will be a man's name. Women just don't attract the same size audience.
Rafa's example about modelling is a good one. Many women will buy clothes depending on who's modelled them, whereas men don't really care. A high profile female model could earn an organisation far more than a male model, so should be paid more accordingly. Female footballers earn less than men, but if their wages were the same, would as many people pay to watch them? Probably not. I personally think that male footballers are grossly overpaid, but if people pay to watch them play, then the demand is there. If their clubs try to pay them less then they'll move to another club. That's how business works.
@@kwilson5832 While I agree with your general point, I actually prefer watching women's tennis nowadays because it is more tactical, whereas the mens game is increasingly just serve and volley.
@@mgsee Thats great. Now if 50% of all tennis fans were you, they would make the same. Rhonda Rousey made the most in the UFC during her time there. She sold the most tickets. She got paid the most. Its common sense. It has nothing to do with man or woman. Its about tickets and merchandise sold.
@@Sins13Ronda actually said when asked about it that the reason why she was the best paid in UFC wasn't because Dana White wanted to do something nice for women but because she was their top draw and in sports you are paid according to your ability to draw
I think "deserve" is the entirely wrong word here. You might "deserve" the same amount of pay for doing similar work. But if nobody wants to see you, thats irrelevant.
If the customers decide what they want to see, they won't always honor those who did the best work. Thats just the way it is.
You should of course always try to get rid of hurdles that prevent people from having success.
But even if there are none left, not everyone will get what they "deserve".
This is the reason I love Rafa. He answers in a very straightforward way without beating around the bush, yet does it in such a dignified way.
Oh but it wasn't straightforward. It was intelligent. Still a lie though. A white lie. Most gentlemen wouldn't just say that truth.
You call that straightforward?
@@bikerrecumbent1064more straight than u
indeed. i hate overzealous fanbois with their blinders on so much. @@bikerrecumbent1064
he's well versed in dealing with media, like any public figure should be, and he's not wrong about the quest for "gotcha" moments or questions. But the point that stood out for me the most (from which he skillfully pivoted) is that he only mentioned one profession (modeling), one where mainly outward appearances are paramount, as example of where women can typically make more. this does not show some balanced equation from which this reporter is only highlighting one side. subsequently if he attempted to create a comparative list (which the remained of his answer appeared to me to suggest would contain a somewhat equal ratio of professions) then the rest of his answer may have been quite different, and less relevant. @@bikerrecumbent1064

Absolutely!
The question was designed to provoke - not solicit information.
That is a perfect and acceptable diplomatic answer. He recognizes the hypocrisy and shows zero desire to act as some virtue signaling ambassador over issues he has absolutely nothing to do with. He stays in his athletic lane.
He could also say , that it is not up to him to dictate who gets paid more. He works hard, and the tournaments and money he generates through his "brand" are completely dependant upon sponsorship, views, media share of advertising, ratings ticket sales, and his own advertising/management team. If women want to get paid more, it's up to them to try to generate more revenue, and negotiate that revenue for themselves. I do me, you do you. If you want more of a share, help do more to generate the revenue to support that.
uh no. he says u should earn equal to your value no matter your gender which is male or female no other make believe stuff.
@@freshprinceofsolair Some women's sports are watched less often than the men's version and therefore generate less revenue(for example football). Other sports relating to women are more popular than the men's version(gymnastics). If you want women to earn more go watch their games more cause that's all it comes down to. How many people watch.
I am going to take a moment to thank Nadal for a thoughtful, intelligent answer to a stupid, agenda driven question. These are the moments when great players shine beyond the game they play. He could have just mailed it in, sure he gets these questions all the time, but he took the time and energy to provide a thoughtful response.
I actually don't think it's a stupid question, and he answered the question perfectly. Now if they twist his answer that would be a separate issue, but there is nothing wrong with the question itself.
@@ProlificxIf you don’t see anything stupid about that question, you should question your intelligence and sanity.

Not all athletes are intelligent and honest like him. He cares about sports not sponsorship like others we see signing up with big brands. Good job Nadal!
He was too scared to tell the full truth though. the simple truth is that more people (including women) find the men's game significantly more interesting. The players are faster, stronger and more skilled. they even have to play more games giving the audience more for their money. On every level it is superior and therefore pays more. Doesn't means women's tennis is enjoyable to watch... it just isn't worth as much.
@@sheffieldzamo7444 I don’t think he was scared but rather realistically understands the futility of getting into the conversation.

Excellent answer. Always good to see people prepared to answer honestly when feminists and/or the media ask politically loaded questions.
He wasn't prepared, he should know that Men get paid more because they get higher tv ratings and sell more tix to live events, its that simple.
The true answer should be: If women want the same pay as men then they should compete in the men's tour. Take a look at world chess rankings, a sport which don't require physical advantages to compete, & see how women rank there.

wealth whispers. he destroyed
quite ironic when he's talking about being asked things that will create headlines huh
Welcome to Clickbait.
You can destroy someone while being polite. That is what he did. He completely destroyed her narrative.
A thoughtful and reasoned logic. Self awareness and connection with relevance when he mentions his mum and sister and his desire for equality, however, it should be based on the quality of work rather than gender. It's not the people on the frontline who reporters should be asking this question to, but to the decision makers, the leaders and HR of a business who are the gatekeepers. If it's so important then they're the ones who set the rules. The reality is they'll always be a divide unless you fight for your value. And if you don't get it from one place then you should leave to get it from somewhere else. Don't wait and expect equality to magically happen. It won't. It hasn't.
What a class act all around! Stated his opinion without ego or trying to tear down the other person's dignity. I have much to learn from this.
That was one of the most intelligent responses I've ever heard an athlete give at a press conference.
Funny how the media portrays actual intelligent answers as crazy. Nadal, Jokavic, and Johnathan Isaac have all given very nuanced and measured answers on controversial issues and been slandered for it. Meanwhile idiots like Lebron James and Megan Rapinoe just spew nonsense and they are hailed as hero’s.
It’s almost as though they’re not actual journalists, just political hacks.
Idk if you’ve ever ever met a Spanish sports fan but no no that is not a thing lol
It's a simple comparison that doesn't really make sense. Good starting point to a discussion perhaps but hardly an 'intelligent response'. It'd be more fair if he just admitted that he benefitted from decades more of PR, exposure and interest, financial investing and training than women do in the same sport. It wouldn't hurt him one bit to speak out on the inequality in pay in sports. He just chooses not to.
@@shoelacedonkeyhe speaks 100% truth, there is no such things about ineqality paygap in sport, if you sucks at your job and can't generate significant amount of money, you got paid less, that's how it always work
@@shoelacedonkey The question posed didnt make sense. What is equal pay based on? Sportspeople are entertainers, just like musicians. Its hardly
equal pay in the music industry, its about the number of bums on seats. I dont expect everyone to be paid the same, not every entertainment product is of equal entertainment value. I expect Beyonce to be paid more than most men in the industry.
This is not the same as going to work for a bank where there are equal job structures to ensure equal work is done driving the same output.
Ultimately it can argued that women are paid better in Grand Slam tennis than men on an hourly rate seeing that men often play best of 5 sets & women best of 3. A womens final drives far less TV advertising revenue being a best of 3 sets than the men.
So what exactly is equal pay based on?
I’ll bet you that reporter didn’t expect such an analysed response to her question! Bravo Rafael, you should get rewarded for the work you produce and how well it sells, regardless of gender. Spot on! ❤

yea it's same for movie actors, singers, comedians etc. It all boils down to how many tickets they sell.

@@MistahhMingusThat he is taking Nadal's side but is not a Nadal fanboy and thus not biased. That would be my take on it.
@@DrMic2112 I see your point, I would say just try to be a unbiased human to the best of your ability and view the situation as such, but that’s probably too big of an ask for a tennis fan, hell a sports fan even
Someone should make a compilation of them destroying reporters. Lol
You guys are all missing the point. First of all, he’s commenting on media in general because guess who makes money off the clickbait twisted headlines? Not the reporters. She did absolutely nothing wrong asking the question and no one’s knows if she was a feminist. The drama and clickbait sells and everyone fell for it here again. He didn’t destroy her and again she did nothing wrong. I clicked on this because I wanted to see what he said because it’s always authentic and wise. I hope we all wake up and demanding more non-biased news and facts but I’m scared it will never happen. It’s all our fault for buying into all the fake controversy.
Yeah here's the answer: Market economics. People like to look and female models, but also enjoy men's sports more. Not a huge stretch to understand why.
Oh, the burn! I'm glad he laid the facts on the table. So sick of these kinds of questions. The media constantly tries to trap people.
what facts did he lay on the table? The fact that society cares more about the way women look than what they can do? The fact that they are prepared to pay more money for their looks than their skills? What a rediculous take that it is a "burn". I like him and I appreciate his answer, but it is the same old trope and you believing to be anything different than that shows why. And the title of this video isent intended to cause controversy?
@@ggproductions7078 "The fact that society cares more about the way women look than what they can do?"
Oh, by that you mean the fact that WOMEN care more about how WOMEN look than what they can "do"? Kinda like that, you mean? You know if it were such a shame that WOMEN are seen as these objects of appeal that WOMEN could simply stop propagating that industry...right? And yet, here we are, watching WOMEN care about how WOMEN look. Men don't make women wear what they wear or look how they look - that's one woman trying to outdo the other woman next to her. NO ONE cares more about how a woman looks than ANOTHER WOMAN.
It's okay. I get that logic and rational thought might be hard for you, so take a minute to soak it in.
@@ggproductions7078 You twisted or what?
Men are judge by look as much as woman. You think without look men can get success?
It take all hard work, talent, look and luck to success.
Some job chooses gender not the others way around men and woman irrelevant.
@@ggproductions7078found the reporter.
@@ggproductions7078🤡
Well said King. Preach that shit. People need to understand this. Everyone should be treated equal and the media needs to stop looking for controversy and to twist people's words to sell papers, as that is the biggest problem of all. We need truth tellers, not for profit newspapers
And we need people who want to buy and support journalism and not give million pundits, opinion shows and who love drama and controversy. The media reflects the public and it’s not good right now :(
And Rafa is definitely King along with the other big 4 and new players coming up too. A lot smarter and wiser than the majority of the commenters on this video
"It seems to me that just in the ratio that our newspapers increase, our morals decay. The more newspapers the worse morals. Where we have one newspaper that does good, I think we have fifty that do harm. We ought to look upon the establishment of a newspaper of the average pattern in a virtuous village as a calamity."
- Mark Twain
But nobody believes this. Everyone says it, but NO ONE believes people should be equal. Every day i am met with more & more examples of people who have privileges that they didnt earn, when given the chance to eschew them in the name of equality, they refuse. The ONLY people who believe in equality are those of lower status/station in life. Everyone else is happy with their privileged position and the inequality it entails.
Better still don't buy the propaganda
Wow!! Le dio una clase de periodismo ☺️👍. Bien por ése hombre.
"you are asking this for a headline"
yep
when you are at the top of your game, there is a person trying to knock you down. that person doesnt even have to be a contender in the sport. well played Nadal
"you can't raise yourself up by bringing somebody down" -inaccurate quote from somebody.
@@imulippo5245 are you sure it's innacurate? what happens to the previous number 1 in the world when somebody else becomes the number 1?
that one raises by bringing somebody down. that's how sports and competition works.
but I see your point and I agree. the path to become equals isn't to bring the other side down. it's to raise yourself.
None of you understand the meaning of the sentence. "can't" should be read as "shouldn't", it's an advice that if you want to stay level headed and honorable, you shouldn't put somebody down to raise yourself @@DanielRossellSolanes
Great response. Calm, articulate, and smart. He illuminated the question with facts vs. without getting angry or rude. Answered their question with verifiable facts and pointed out their hypocrisy/ motive in a very pleasant way.👍
Actually the only angry or rude people were the feminists most of the time!
He answered it perfectly and like a true gentleman. Bravo. Intelligence is key to defeating stupidity.
Exactly, loved what he said about his mother and sister.
Such a sweetheart.
2:22 That’s Perfect answer!
Women knows it but they deny it
Nadal and Federer are the best example of a healthy, mature, educated sport rivalry. I love them both
Completely agree.
Novak GOAT
You said all of it, I have nothing to add.
NOVAK is better & a great generous person but this answer by Rafa is SPOT-ON.
Women are lucky as heII They get to ride the coattails of the men at the 4 Slams!
If there were standalone Slams a
Women one fortnight & Men another fortnight, I GUARANTEE that revenue generated for the men would be 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x as much as the Screamalenkas & the Igas.
@@Time4SumAksion021suck it
What a perfect gentleman. And how intelligent and well spoken he is.
I have been watching RAFA since '04 time & again he has answered every question in diginified way and this ans is at very top of the list. This should be circulated through every social media, news channels, buisness schools, education platform etc.
People are way too ignorant, sensationalist and agenda driven taking too many things for granted and ignoring simple economics of any small/large operation.
Let me guess, you're a man.
Yes, I hope Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, D'Souza, and other very highly intellect persons add Nadal's explanation for the public to see or hear.
Rafa is one of those people that is soo good at answering questions!!! He is so right
He's more well thought out than most Ivy League PhDs in economics.
Ivy League PHds are more interested in parties and virtue signaling woke issues. They are not what they used to be.
IVY league profs, and profs in general, are almost all leftists or communists and people give them far too much credit.
Most princes who end up in Ivy League are groomed by rich parents from an early age … not much hard work, just average joes and janes being entitled
H.L. Menken: “It is the classic fallacy of our time that a moron run through a university and decorated with a Ph.D. will thereby cease to be a moron.”
Thomas Sowell: “In a democracy we have always had to worry about the ignorance of the uneducated. Today we have to worry about the ignorance of people with college degrees.”
I liked that he called her out before giving his heartfelt answer. The media is the media, I guess in any language.
For real, we are all united by the bullshit our media spout out daily.
...and the media is full of feminists! That's why we hear more about women being victims and ignore male victims...when women are running the news media!
As if there weren't enough reasons to love him already. What an absolute Legend
Brilliant! Not only a great tennis player but a gentleman.
THAT is one articulate dude! Man he nailed it. Called the media out on their BS too. Bravo!!!!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Well said. I like how courteous he was on his answers. Tremendo caballero! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He gave the kind of answer i would have thought about a year later after the question and said "Damn, if only i said that !" ! 😂
Exactly
Right?!
Rafa not only returns winners on court, but he smashed that winner don the line in the interview.
How politely remember someone that equality doesn't exist and if you want something you have to earn it, work for it, never demand it.
Like Charles III? Trump?
Muuh drumppfff 😂😂😂
@@c-dawg2763 Trump, trump, trump, trump, trump, trump, trump, all day I dream about TRUMP! (you people need to be heavily sedated; conservatives dont think about Trump as much as you brain-washed progressives do! omg)
@@Whiskey0880 LOL I know, its as if they dont even have brains! how they manage to draw Trump into EVERY conversation, the devil only knows!
So female athletes don't work hard?
That was actually quite amazing. Straight to the point and used logical reasoning and facts very well all the while being polite and genuine.
Compare that to when a politician speaks lmao
So nice to listen to him speak in his native language. Having only heard him do English interviews you aren’t able to get the full sense of how intelligent and well thought he is.
Reminds me of Sofia vergara's line in "modern family"
What is that line?
He didn't destroy her, he educated her.
Nadal suprised me here of how good of a reply he gave on this question. Bravo Rafa
Speaking from his own mind perspective and straight from the heart. Couldn't get any clearer than that. Good for him!💪
wtf? ou contraire... self censorin at its finest
More people should speak like this man did! Excellent answer!
Bro representing all men in the world ❤️
This is genuinely one of the best responses I have ever heard. Thank you Rafael for this absolute masterclass 👏
He is truly a gentleman, stating his answer in a dignified way so as to cause no harm to either the audience or the questioner. High class all the way.
Do you think these feminist journalist will stop asking this question to other athletes? Nahh
Outstanding. Would have loved to see the reporter's face. 😢
Because she asked him a question. Too bad she was doing her job and everybody commenting is making a huge ass-umpiring that she was a feminist. Everybody loves clickbait. Love Rafa - hope everyone here will pick up some of his wisdom and intelligence.
@@tanja0411 She asked a dumb question. Got schooled. Boo hoo.
@@djsmith2871 Who is crying? You? So all the guys who were asking that question were stupid and I guess Andy Murray and John McEnroe and everyone having the discussion were dumb too. Get out of here. Thank god for people/guys like Rafa
@@tanja0411 Very frequently, a question is really a disguised assertion, and if you were being honest about the cultural context, you'd also acknowledge that the reporter's question was a disguised assertion that female athletes make less as a consequence of sexist discrimination. Your comment is an insult to the intelligence of all who have the misfortune of reading it.
@@andrewb8235 It is hilarious to me that people responding so strongly to this question and Rafa’s reply are so unlike Rafa and missed the overall point of his answer. As well as some other key points he made. I’m very sorry you have the misfortune of having low IQ, zero maturity and to top off the trifecta you’re a jerk. Good luck with all that
Eloquent his informed and educated diplomatic response not to satisfy a hungry media looking for support or to teardown our heroes, Go Nadal!!!
Just ask them “why do you think women get paid less than men?” I would really love to know a feminist answer this.
Patriarchy haha
They would call "m-muh patriarchy and oppression" that's the only thing in their vocabulary...
@@fbwjjwbs Yep. That's it
Intelligent class act his answer was thorough yet self aware and humble
What I live about this is he answered it in such a nice way that it may have actually gotten through to some people. He didn’t answer out of anger but rather genuinely. Great job Rafa
He was very polite. The correct answer is very straight-forward though. The wage gap in tennis depends on the fact that male players sell more tickets, reach out to more people on TV, and raise more profits to sponsor. It also depends on the fact that competition is much stronger with 50 % more professional male players. There is also the fact that the top 10000 male players would always beat the top 3 women players.
@@johannaw2031 sure but you're not really answering the question either. Of course ticket sales influence the pay gap, but then the real question is why do we want to watch men play more than women? In my opinion it's mostly a cultural thing. What do we value in a man or in a woman?
@@lairlair2 We watch men because they consistently perform at a higher level than women. Even if you just look at one aspect of tennis like say serve speed, the top woman will not outperform the top 50 or so men. It's not a cultural thing, it's based on performance.
@@lairlair2 We want to watch men play sports because men are better at sports due to an increased muscle mass.
@@lairlair2He did answer you but you litteraly refused to see it I don't know ahaha
Top 1000 male players would beat top 3 women.. competition is much stronger.. Of course people prefer to see something with a higher level of play .. There are sport where phyiscal body doesn't impact on performences.. you just keep pointing where there are difference and complain about it xD
It's litterally the same thing Rafael complained about ahah people deform the answer and make it a drama
This was a very mild and well placed answer; getting to the point without giving any grip to anyone willing to twist his words for his own profit.
It annoys me that they went on and on about this but never answered the key question - why should women get paid the same for less work. They only play the best of 3 at all events. Men play best of 5 in many and all the Majors. If you do the math based on time on court, women earn more.
I've always like Nadal, for the way he carries himself, the respect he shows for others & just coming across as being an all-round nice guy.
This just confims it.
Exactly! Reporters have become the smut of the world by always trying to push controversy and most often time are pushing their narratives through doing that
How can someone not agree with him? He really answered eloquently.
Well said. 100% agree Question was just to try and create a headline
