RE: Should Women Athletes be Paid as Much as Their Male Counterparts?

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Very good topics here, thank you for the great reading this morning.

Yes women athletes should be paid the same if they are selling the same. I think male and female will see a trend toward parity soon. For example, it is easy to be a paying fan of the Lakers because of the early memories watching Magic and Kareem. Then Van Exel. but there weren't any Sparks until the end of the 90s. The generation that is coming up will soon have memories as magical as mine , but there's will be in a world where there was both NBA and WNBA.

So I think it is possible that with folks younger than me, there will be a larger fan base that grew up with the Sparks, Mercury, etc. and some of those will be willing to pay to see both. When the NBA ends each season, we still get NBA Summer league, WNBA, and Ice Cube 3 on 3. So I feel some sports are more diversified than when I was growing up. I don't know if WNBA or 3 on 3 can ever sell as much as NBA, but who knows...
