Scoring With Chicks – A Voice for Men

Many people don’t realize that many “men’s” sports leagues aren’t really men’s. They allow women, but no women can make the cuts. The easier women’s leagues in contrast are just for women, no men allowed.

Of course we are now seeing many of the women who can’t make the men’s cuts and therefore elect to play on the easier woman’s leagues complain that they should be paid as much as the men, despite the fact they are free to try out for the mire talented ”Men’s” team. They want equal pay for lesser work. In the case of women’s soccer, thrust want more pay for lesser work.

Given these issues I think it’s time we get rid of separate men’s and women’s sports and just have sports, which women are equally allowed to try out for. Let’s give them true equality.

The idea of professional athletics is that they live or die on the marketability of consumer interest in their sport.

Why aren't professional Cornhole players paid the same sort of money that professional Formula 1 racers are? There isn't enough consumer interest.

If professional female athletes don't make as much as professional male athletes, it probably has everything to do with consumer interest in the competition.

It doesn't really matter if women "work just as hard" as men do at their respective sport, if they can't compete at the highest level, they just can't, and that level is what people are willing to pay a premium to watch and support.

Amateur atheltics are a different matter in my mind though, as I believe they have a different purpose, though admittedly, the quest for the almighty dollar has blurred the lines these days.
