Great. I'm sure modelling will be next!

Won't it girls...?

Girls....?

You know what's funny? People talk about this gender pay gap, but when you work a low paying job, such as 12$ an hour, the women are paid equally. I've seen their paychecks.

Shouldn't the payment of sport stars be dependent on the number of viewers?

If women don't watch womens sports, that's neither mens, nor societys fault.

The popular argument in sports is that women like men, require the same amount of training and dedication to their craft. They push their bodies to the limits and suffer the same injuries, so how can the wide margin of compensation be justified?

With a few exceptions, women's sports are mostly incredibly boring. If you want to earn more money, fix the female sports "boredom gap."

If I train hard enough and injure myself enough, will you also demand I get a multimillion dollar contract?

I don't know how this post from my blog made it to this subreddit but I'm happy it's getting read. Equality isn't always simply making everything 1:1.

Agreed!

Time to pay male tennis stars 5/3rds more than the females.
