If you do not bring the money in, how can you pay more out?
Only governments work with that scenario.
Men's tournament generate the cash through the gate.
Although I enjoy watching ladies tournaments because of the smaller crowds.
Same with equal pay for women tennis players.
They only play three sets, men five.
In my book it's the male tennis players who are underpaid!

When women start playing from the black tees and hit as far as men then maybe equal viewership and equal pay. Otherwise, no.

Bingo.

Produce a product capable of bringing in the same money, and the pay will be commensurate. Until then...

Come on, this is ridiculous

Tennis, soccer same for both genders

Basketball, women must supplement income going overseas at sometimes find themselves in prison.

NOT FAIR!!!!!

NBA revenue = $7.4 Billion
WNBA Revenue = $60 Million

PGA Tour Revenue = $1.6 Billion
LPGA Tour revenue = $117 Million

The United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) earned more money from its male equivalent reaching the knockout stages of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar than it did from winning its own tournaments in 2015 and 2019.


“Basketball, women must supplement income going overseas at sometimes find themselves in prison.”
Not in prison for going overseas, in prison for having a drug that’s illegal in the country

Boycott the sponsors. Send sponsors letters stating your concerns.

Really, boycott sponsors!? Then they pull out sponsoring the LPGA because return on investment drops. If you want sponsors to pay more, support them and by their product. Higher return on investment equals higher value for venue.

Because it's about the attendance and ads. Bill Barr explained it the best. Search on YouTube for "Women Sports, what men think but can’t say" and enjoy.

That will surely work.

Women don't support women's sports and men don't care to watch an inferior product.

Same reason that "Gentlemen's Clubs" out number "Lady's Clubs" by about 10,000:1.

As soon as some woman can compete at golf with Tiger Woods or even John Rahm, things will change ... maybe.

WOW that might be the most sexist comment I’ve ever seen on here! “ Women don’t support women’s sports and men don’t care to watch an inferior product”!!!!!!

The women in your life must be so proud.

Who said life is fair? There is the fairness where everything is equal. So everyone pays the same price for a theater ticket, whether a child, an adult or a senior citizen. No one has more than another. Everyone eats or no one does, for example. Logically, then, an infant and an adolescent will receive the same amount of food. It doesn’t matter that one needs more than the other. Fairness is finding the average and applying it across the board. This is fairness as equality of outcome.

Where’s the “equitable” crocodile tears for the male adult entertainers?

Real women aren't offended by the truth.

Sports will continue to be sexist, until women stop demanding separate platforms to display their inferior skills.

[Rwirish]

Unfair, how? Unfortunately women’s golf does not have the same level of support from fans, sponsors, advertisers etc. Until it does, it isn’t going to change.

This isn't a social program or a constitutional right ... this is a business. And women going overseas for any reason are imprisoned for carrying illegal drugs ... the same result as anyone else regardless of sex of occupation. They don't go to prison for playing sports.

Less people (and therefore less $$) are interested in women's sports. That's a fact. And, if there is less money from sponsors and others, the prize pool is smaller.

Bill Gates and I were in the same profession ... software development. Why is he a billionaire and I'm not? Who do I complain to in order to level the playing field (pun intended)?

Once women's tennis started bringing in the revenue, they started receiving the same prize money (for less work, btw, since they only play 3 sets vs 5 sets for the men in the major tournaments...)

I wonder why Billie Jean King hasn’t said anything about womens tennis actually being paid the same, for less work, 3 sets vs. 5 sets. I’ve always thought highly of her…until she stands by, says nothing, and is actually proud of it. Come Billie Jean, do you want true equity or not…seems pretty hypocritical. And heaven forbid any of the announcers or others former stars say anything.
