Recently, the CEO of the Indian Wells tennis tournament (largest tourny behind any grand slam) came out and said that women's tennis should consider it very lucky as it "rides off the coattails of the men". http://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/35857246

When you examine the stats regarding viewing numbers, ticket sales and who people choose to see, it's obvious that the mens game supports the growth of the tennis industry unequivocally (see this article, where a men's final reaches over twice the viewers of the women's final) http://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/atoz/faq_and_facts_and_figures.html)

World number 1 Novak Djokovic endorsed this premise stating that women "fought for what they deserve and they got it", but that the men's ATP tennis world "should fight for more". He further elaborated that "Stats are showing that we have much more spectators on the men's tennis matches. I think that is one of the... reasons why maybe we should get awarded more." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35859791

Straight away, women were quick to jump at this, stating these claims are "mistaken" and "very, very inaccurate" despite the fact they are not, they are simply fact. Classic emotional regurgitation, and a lack of genuine logic.

LESSON: There is and can never be pay equality for men

Even if men work harder, longer and play tougher, there will always be an uphill battle trying to get what is fair, and there will always be harpies crying foul that they should earn the same for doing nothing.

Edit 2: The spineless apologist CEO just resigned. http://www.bnpparibasopen.com/en/media-and-news/news/2016/03/21/raymond-moore-steps-down-as-ceo-and-tournament-director-of-the-bnp-paribas-open

I really hope you take away from this one thing: that even stating NOTHING BUT FACT can cause the pod of wonderblob feminist whales to descend upon you and attempt to tear you to shreds. In the words of u/tallwheel, he should have stayed in frame and backed up his statements using Djokovic's comments to reaffirm his position.

We live in a fucked up generation, gents.
