[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 937422, member: 56738"] I do get what you’re saying but payment for sport is ‘essentially’ payment for entertainment... it’s why soccer players earn millions while rugby players earn peanuts. Not that I think soccer is more entertaining than rugby... don’t find it entertaining in the slightest to be honest but millions (& millions) do and therefore they get ‘paid’! You can’t just give women tennis players the same amount of payment that the men get as it is the men’s game that generates the vast majority of the money. In other cases (industries) women deserve more than men because there (for instance Saturday evening TV hosting) they generate more income. Simply paying people the same in all cases is never justified. Now if the Women’s game had bigger TV audiences and bigger match day crowds (than the men’s game) I would be advocating that women earn more payment than men. It’s economics. [/QUOTE]
