They should be paid the same only if the league that they are playing for generates the same amount of revenue as the male league… for example… people always claim that WNBA players making less money than NBA players is sexist. It is not. All it comes down to is that nobody watches the WNBA so it doesn’t generate revenue, which means the players get payed less.
They should not be paid the same if they do not bring in as much profit. If women begin to draw in more people and make the sports corporations more money, than yes, of course they should be paid more. It really has nothing to do with gender.
i get what you guys are saying yes but also less people go to womens games cause mens sports are more in the media and out there no one talks about the women its kinda sexist and frustrating
I think that’s actually a good point. Like, if someone gets their ankles broke, its a spectacle. Regardless of whether its NBA or WNBA. I wonder to what degree this is natural or because of publicization. I would be skeptical that publicization of men’s over women’s sports outweighs natural draw here though.
How they get paid is based on how much money they bring in. Female sports bring in less money and get paid less on average because of it. If they were to pay women the same amount, then that would be sexist because they would be treating women of higher value than men when they are doing less for the industry.
@yourewrongandimright Arguing is about proving your point of view with accurate evidence that inevitably persuades the opposite party to agree with you. Arguing is not about taking your sexist opinions and ranting about them in a public place. Nor is it about being as stubborn as a mule and not being willing to open up your caged beliefs to see another point of view. Perhaps in the future, you could learn to argue rather than to simply spread your male chauvinistic views to the world.
