>"...as we know, too often women are not supported enough or are discouraged from choosing their path. I hope together we can change that. For me, it was a question of resilience. What others marked as flaws or disadvantages about myself – my race, my gender – I embraced as fuel for my success. I never let anything or anyone define me or my potential. I controlled my future.
>So when the subject of equal pay comes up, it frustrates me because I know firsthand that I, like you, have done the same work and made the same sacrifices as our male counterparts. I would never want my daughter to be paid less than my son for the same work. Nor would you."
Don't women play less sets in tennis or something? Men literally play for longer because women aren't as capable
Jason Lopez
>play less sets >not the same level as the males >less people come watch it >demand equal pay despite not being equal
They should stop giving women like this attention.

The same people that say this also say that women are oppressed in western society because there are not enough Chads to go around for the female population, and therefore, they conclude, that's why we need feminism.
The real problem here is that women have it too easy - so easy, in fact, that people have to invent problems women face out of thin air so people can falsely believe they are oppressed. And absolutely NOBODY calls them out on it and tells them to shut the fuck up.
Connor Davis
So wnba players should get paid as much as men even though the industry makes like 5 dollars a year from its 2 fans?
Michael Nguyen
the only reason women's tennis gets the attention it does is because most tournaments are played at the same time as men's tournaments...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Sexes_(tennis)#1998:_Karsten_Braasch_vs._the_Williams_sisters >Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open[29] between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams, aged 17 and 16 respectively, had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager".[30][31] The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park,[32] after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two beers. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.[33] Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun".[34] Braasch said the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier, and that men put spin on the ball that the women can't handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.
>An 18 year old 4th ranked Serena Williams claimed she could compete with men in professional sport; the US Open champion believing she could take on and beat the best players in the men's game. Nothing ever came to be from this claim.[35]
Andrew Long
Let women compete directly against men. Complete equality.
Alexander Anderson
B but she make more money than most of the mens that play tennis, is she retarded?
Grayson Sanchez
It's a free market. Serena wants more pay? Then she has to negotiate it and prove her worth. >niggers and negotiating Case tested.
Benjamin Hall
>play fewer sets >get a smaller audience >expect the same pay
Women, everyone!
Aiden Sullivan
yes she is
Robert Cooper
Dumb nigger being dumb as always.
While in most tournaments, I think, women don't get pay the same, the true is that they play less than the Men, the level is below the men circuit and the viewership is always on the male side.
So why the hell should they get pay the same (and mind you in GS I think women are paid the same as men) when they are clearly providing worse entertainment value than the men?
Juan Ramirez
but we are all equal! it shouldnt matter what we do and how well we do it, everything is equal because everyone is equal dont you see, everything need to be given the same because everyone is the same, YAY FOR DIVERSITY!

i'm ok with mixing men and women in sports
if they want equal pay, earn it
Nicholas Perez
There is not equal viewing/ratings of women's sports compared to men's. Women playing sports is usually not that interesting.
Jordan Rivera
so basically mens work should be less valuable than womens work? damn now THATS equality
Kevin Thompson
She is so fucking hideous. what a disgusting ape.

Dumb fucking slackjawed tranny male bitch. Go fuck yourself for ruining women's tennis. Just when I thought I couldn't hate her anymore.

Dumb bitch took 6/2 6/1 vs a second grade player the day she was actually challenged to play against a man.
Feeling the retirement coming yet Serena?

I'm tired of anyone in sports bitching about money. You're a fucking entertainer. Be glad you're already so wealthy, and in a position to sign endorsement contracts that have fuck all to do with your actual job.
Jace Collins
she's also salty as fuck that she's a better play than Maria, but isn't even a fraction as wealthy. Sponsors don't give a shit about her because she's a chimp-faced nigger.
she probably means for soccer and basketball (given that they already get equal pay in tennis), which is ridiculous because those don't generate nearly as much as the mens counterpart, in fact the WNBA exists solely off funds generated from the NBA because it can't exist by itself

Yup. Starting with rugby, ice hockey and athletism.

Ah yes, that was him. Thanks user, this story is hilarious. Imagine being dumb enough to still unironically whine for equal pay after that
Dominic Watson

Then the bitches will cry that they can't never win and muh oppression or something. People already die playing rugby if women get to play the game against men there would be one death per game or more.

Women tennis matches are literally shorter, and world class female athletes are on par with undergraduate men, at best, except in like, archery
Ryan Reed
You're worth as much as people are willing to pay to watch you run around and whack a ball.
I hate sports and hold no special sympathies for negros or women so you're barking up the wrong tree asking for alms from me.
Tyler Ramirez
I'm not a fan of American sports or the false sense of belonging they bring, I.e. "Our team won" when really you aren't a part of that team and don't even live locally near that team.
But athletes draw attention because of a skill they possess that other people will want to pay to see. If people WANT to pay to see it, athletes will probably always be paid.
Jayden Wood
>Apparently, after the game, Serena and Venus immediately told the press they wanted to challenge a male player again. This time they revised the ranking of the man they wanted to face, to 350 in the world. I [Braasch] informed the journalist who told me this that in the next week I was set to lose a lot of ATP points and drop down to 350 in the rankings. I [Braasch] told him that if Venus and Serena waited just one week they could challenge me all over again! theguardian.com/observer/osm/story/0,,543962,00.html
