When is vox gonna go under?
Women don’t get paid as much because they don’t generate the same sales as men. It’s that simple.

So basically it’s entirely unfair to compare men’s and women’s codes of the same sport because they are completely different, but the women need to be treated and paid equally to the men cos... reasons? On an unrelated aside, why do the aussies have to have cringey names for all their national teams? No need for socceroos, wallabies etc., just call them the Australian National Soccer/Rugby team. Also, why do aussies call every sport involving any sort of football “footie” and expect you to know which sport they’re talking about?

because NSW and QLD are fucktards and call the National Rugby League "Footy", the rest of the country calls the Australian Football League 'Football' and the entire country calls soccer, soccer. Amd sometimes 'Wogball' - if youre reading/watching australian media and its saying 'football' i guaranfuckingtee you that the person writing it is greek
Most nations that actually plays an international sport (i mean actual international, not just local teams but calling it international) name their sports teams. Go have a go at a maori for calling their national rugby team the all-blacks and see what happens. 'Le Coq Sportif' isnt just a catchphrase for a french clothing company ya know.
Why do you have sports teams that have names that match cities they havent played in for years? (South Melbourne Swans became the Sydney Swans... because they moved to Sydney)
Why do you seppos call your american only baseball series the 'World' series? (Our 'National' rugby leage on the other hand, is international as New Zealand teams play in it.... still not 'World Series Rugby'... because we have one of those too. And it is actually against other national teams. Unlike baseball.)
Why do you play rugby in helmets and shoulderpads looking like fragile little pussies, change the name to 'Gridiron' but still call it... 'Football'?
Why did you allow japan to attack you after weeks of warnings then call it a 'Surprise' attack?
Why are you a vassal of israel instead of your own sovereign nation?
Why do you give niggers guns?
Why is Alexander Occasional-Cortex a politician instead of a cheap hooker?
Why are y'all trying to kidnap julian assange if he didnt break your laws?
Why havent you won any war on your own since your civil war?
Lots of questions need answering here bro, not from our end tho.

Was aware of the match and the result, but had not seen that twisted piece of logic before. Even the Einstein quote is not true.

So a league of women and 15 year old boys would pretty much just be 15 year old boys.

You know what also has a high goal count in Football/Soccer? A fucking schoolkid's game.
Lets start paying inept children too.

The equal pay movement used to be called 'equal pay for equal work' - until all the research showed the work wasn't equal. Every time a feminist mentions "equal pay" always make sure the phrase 'equal work' is put into the discussion. It's poison to them - because they want equal pay for lesser work.

I’m so fortunate to work at a place which is more right than left. One of my coworkers got super salty on this topic Saturday night, it was awesome.
They're getting better. Wasn't it 15-0 or something to some high school team 10 years ago? Anyway, it is all about economics, not necessarily ability. If more people watched the womens world cup, they would get more money. Its that simple.
[–] Plant_Boy 0 points 29 points 29 points (+29|-0) ago
It's more to do with revenue bring in. If a football team has 100,000 fans willing to pay $50 to watch a match, not counting memorabilia, then that team earns $5,000,000 for the upkeep of their facilities and for the team. Keeping 1,000,000 for overheads and given that there's maybe 20 players on the team (plus managers and coaches), that would be $200,000 per match per person.
If a women's team has 20,000 fans willing to pay no more than $10, then they're going to have revenue of $200,000 to divide between the team and facilities. Keeping $100,000 for overheads and given our same 20 person team that would be $5,000 per person per match.
You want more pay, you have to attract more people.

Exactly. Women's sports suck in almost every way. They simply don't bring in as much money as men's sports do. The US Women's soccer team can bitch as much as they want, the fact is they don't bring in enough revenue to justify paying them as much as the men.

Gymnastics is good, IMO, and that's a sport that women dominate.
[–] DOCornelius ago
I mostly agree here. The only women's sports I stop to watch are tennis and volleyball. I'll occasionally watch women's hockey but I'll watch just about any hockey game really.

They actually had a plan to have women play in skirts, but they stopped it for some bs feminist reason.

That's generally why Volleyball is so popular.

I do hope none of you are watching the women's world cup? Let me explain why I'm boycotting it.
There's a huge push for "equality" as I'm sure you're all aware. They're pushing, via media etc, the women's football game to try and make some kind of equal balance between men's football and women's, despite the vast gulf in ability and appeal. Over here in the UK the media has been tripping over themselves to promote the world cup for women. For months we've had stories, articles, videos, all trying to plug it. That is coming from somewhere. They don't all just decide to do that off their own back. Orders are clearly being passed down to help this agenda be pushed. All this, despite the fact that match attendances remain very low for the domestic game. Top level women's club football attracts spectators usually in the hundreds and only occasionally does it creep above 1000. This is comparable to non-league football in the UK (5th tier and below). When big competitions are on they go so far as to give away free tickets and half price tickets and group discount prices, all to make it look like people actually want to watch women play. They don't. In reality they just want a free day out. They then brag in the media about the high attendance for these one-off games. It's all completely false. For the past three seasons attendances have been dropping, consistently. The standard is terrible. Anyone that watches it knows this. Yet we have people making noises about paying women the same as men?
Just as with this post, the English women get beat by men's youth teams - kids, in reality. They aren't deserving of it for ability and they aren't deserving of it for their appeal.
In short, nobody gives a fuck about women's football - except for the "equality" pushing commies.
[–] Plant_Boy ago (edited ago)
To be honest, I don't give a fuck about football in general. All the men act like women, touch them and they double over like they're suffering the PTSD of how their
uncledrunk liberal crazy-cat aunt treated them.In the the women's the ref overlooks them tearing chunks of hair out and stamp on other players.
So one feminizes men and the other encourages women to butcher themselves. Kind of like modern academic social sciences.
[–] satisfyinghump 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
This, 100% this. There literally isnt any momey in women soccer when compared to mens. So where the fuck will they physically get the money? Im guess they want to find a way to use mens sports teams money to pay womens teams...
[–] Gorillion 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
That's exactly what the model is. Money made by the male leagues gets funneled into the women's so they can quit their day jobs and larp as full time pro sports players. With the (((managers))) taking their cut of course.
