a high school male team would beat any pro female team
But that's exactly what they want to happen.
>australian women's soccer team loses to under 15 boys' regional rep team 5-0
>complain about unequal pay
You get paid less because you're shit at your job and you dont sell tickets. Even ronda rousey recognised that her pay was directly commensurate with her selling power.
He never said that.
>7 foot tall freaks of nature dunking the ball from the free throw line

Which one draws the crowds? Womens sport is a joke
If we increase the pay now than 50 years from now when trans league will be a thing.they will want better pay because women did get it back in the day
NBA is a trans league.
Anybody from any gender can play.
desu I am a neoliberal free market open borders faggot by the standards of Jow Forums.
I hate it when women sports leagues complain about equal pay. Mens sports are more interesting to watch and, in a free market, will command a higher wage because of that. There's a market for womens sports leagues and that's fine but expecting equal pay is silly.
...
>sports aren't fitness related
4/10 made me respond. still obvious b8 tho
This isn't about engaging in a sport. Mindless consumer behaviour in relation to sports is /sp/. It would be relevant to Jow Forums if it was discussing the varying fitness benefits of given sports, techniques therein, or training methods for.
I get what you're saying, but I think its still relevant. Not everything on a fitness forum needs to be about working out. It's a fair expectation that people who are interested in working out are also interested in sports competitions - it'd make Jow Forums boring if all anybody posted was about how to optimize their lifts.
But I agree that some off topic posting should go. All the incel/tinder/etc posting is a good example, since those usually just devolve into Jow Forums shitposting and end up having nothing to do with athleticism/fitness. Those threads are usually just angry virgins who don't lift.
You mean like a race/gender bait thread?
This what everyone forgets. Women can technically put in for the draft and play for the NBA but the competition is too much
...
Fair enough, this is definitely a gender bait thread in retrospect. I think I misread this because of my own opinion on compensation in women's sports. But I don't like all the sexist posts on here, even though the general fitness discussion is fun.
It's not sexism when men are objectively better at a pursuit and paid as such
>Pay is based on viewers, TV rights and sponsorships
>Expecting massive paychecks for getting fuck all of the above.
So this is the power of wahmen I've been told about.
Yeah definitely. But somebody posting an image that's intended to be inflammatory with the commentary "based" is definitely not a good faith post. It's intended to get people to post angry responses, not actually discuss whether or not women should get equal pay.
They do in many sports. The US female OLYMPIC team for hockey plays high schools and gets destroyed.
17 year old males absolutely demolished the Australian womens soccer team
this is reality but for some reason some people like to pretend it isn't how it works

Seriously what makes people do this?
No seriously, stop shit posting for a moment.
Explain this to me please, are you a normal functioning person in society? Then I need your help. I am a shut in with mental disorders, I have never been in the outside real world, so I have no idea what people in the normal world actually think and how they function
That said, even I, as a life long shut in whose entire experience is online, understand that these professional athletes are paid based on how much they make for the businesses involved in the sports they play. But apparently there are normal functioning members of society who leave the house, work a job, get married, have social circles, and understand how to get through life, but at the same time can not comprehend this fact?
Please tell me why? The logic does not compute in my mind at all, it makes me even more afraid of leaving the house because it signals to me that people who are supposedly healthy normal functioning members of society have such an incredibly lack of logic and critical thinking capabilities....and I cannot expose myself to that, I just can’t.
Over the years I have slowly become more and more understanding of tyrants and dictators, it seems like strongmen are the last hope when you have a population of irrational illogical people, no wonder countries like Iraq needed a Saddam, same for Syria, the people are fucking irrational and fucked up in the head so you need a fucking tyrant to keep them from fucking everything up
I foresee dictators and tyrants taking over western countries if this illogical nonsense is allowed to continue growing in society
I think I need to up the dosage
What about soccer?
According to the Torygraph, the US women's soccer team generated $20 million more in revenue than the men's team, but got paid only 60% in 2016.
I guess soccer is a girl's sport in the US so nobody wants to see men play it?

same reason behind viewer numbers between mens and womens volleyball
>who are supposedly healthy normal functioning members of society have such an incredibly lack of logic and critical thinking capabilities
The WNBA players are being very logical. Women's pay is a hot topic, so if WNBA players agitate for higher pay, they may actually get it.
But they don’t bring in the money? Who takes money out of their pocket to pay for this if they don’t bring the money in?
If women’s basketball gets equal pay to men’s basketball, wouldn’t the women’s league simply shut down and go bankrupt over night due to the increase in salaries? Who pays for this?
This is why so many chicks had disdain for Ronda. They knew that Ronda would get her ass kicked by a prelim fighter making $15k while she made $5 million + PPV points. It showed them the truth. They weren't paid less because they were women. They were paid less because they had boring matches and they were boring on the mic
>A baboon telling other people to stop complaining about getting more money when he's trying this year to do super amazing so he can get higher pay
lol
>Working harder to get higher pay
Where is the problem?
>even though they’re essentially better
>essentially better
>lose to high school children
Women's leagues are restricted to women. Men's leagues are open to anyone. If they want equal pay they can play in equal conditions, i.e. against men.
>trying this year to do super amazing
>Defensive Player of the Year
>record-breaking stats
>3 championships in 4 years
>considered one of if not the greatest power forward today
When shit doesn't make sense like that, you have to get in the mind set that they do know and are trying to take advantage of something. Those bitches know straight but why they don't get paid as much. But they are actively surpressing the thoughts or using the current political climate to push for more shit.
And they were unmarketable.
No one wants to see TOTES SERIAL 4/10 geared up chicks and that one tranny have boring ass matches for a few minutes.
No appeal.
Not even a foxy boxing appeal to it.
There's like one hot MMA chick and she's all mamabear mode and shit now.

WNBA seasons are less than half the length of NBA seasons, and the games are shorter. How would "equal pay" work?
this :/
fuck off
The french female soccer team got destroyed 12-0 by some random U17 from a suburban area
It's not even a contest
It’s not about the merit of the sport though, the reason NBA players make so much is because they bring in so much money. In this case the pay actually is unfair, i. e. the women’s soccer team has shitty negotiating power
>US female OLYMPIC team for hockey plays high schools
Actual bullshit. I would say provide evidence, but I know that's even possible.
Didn’t mean to trigger you sweetie.
>women's hockey high school boys
You're welcome, sweetie
They need to be hot and market themselves better.
They can't and don't.
They have all of the tools they need to start a whole feminist bitch fest, but they can't bring the 4/10 carpet munchers with cagey histories to the forefront. It'll torpedo the thing before it begins.
They need to start with being one of the "hot" and fun and easy sports girls can get into(like volleball, gymnastics, sprinting, bicycling dear god the ass and thighs on that one australian bird) and be all inclusive and get a grass roots thing going.
Once that takes off they can SQUEEZE the tits of the dyke feminist powerbroker types and have leverage against the powers that be in the soccer world that are letting them hang in the breeze.
Them bitches when the women's world cup and manage to find a few hot chicks to stand up front and put on wheaties boxes, a cute christian one that has a bf/hubby and talks about babbies and pets, and have a half naked girl on instagram or filthy thot who's fingerbanging herself or getting sandwhiched between to olympic athletes in another fappening I promise PROMISE YOU that they'll be able to write their own paychecks.
Easy as in women are able to compete and progress while still be seen as socially hot, not easy as in it's simple and easy to do.
Last Wormen's World cup final game got 140M people watching it live, they cried like baby's asking for equal pay, ignoring the fact that the Men's World cup got 1.2B people watching it live.
They are not going to get equal pay.
But they can get BETTER pay on top of doing what the US men's team can't.
Become popular with the american normies. If they can get a bit of popularity with the rest of the world on top of that, shit, they have it made,
They have all the tools they need.
>women's team generated more money during a year in which they played in the women's World Cup
Am I supposed to be surprised by this?
There's three types of people who watch women's sports. Women, fags, and people trying to jerk off. If your players are ugly giraffe dykes, you knock out the third category, and the first two are already small since women and fags can't into sports. Men's sports are faster, have bigger players, and have much cooler plays. Seriously, have you ever watched women's sports? It's fucking unwatchable. The WNBA All Star game started out with the players dribbling in the wrong direction.
It's an account called "real" NBA quotes, that's the joke
Except the men’s US team wasn’t in the world cup final, so what’s your point? The revenues are posted in the link a few posts up
Don't know if they do this in USA but in UK now, they often have a female pundit on football sports shows or matches. So you'll have 2 massively experienced male pundits or managers who played the game at the highest level and won multiple trophies between them and some random negress who plays womens football.
They have no right to be there, not because they are women but because they have nowhere near the gravitas or experience to comment on sport at an elite level. Makes me sick.
Results from reverse image search are lacking (just random tweets) and this guy has previously said that he watches WNBA because he thinks they have better technique than most NBA guys. Awesome post OP.
Google it man lol

based!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why do many people seem to think that athletes get their money specifically because they are doing something athletic?
it's basically like music conserts or theater, they get payed by how many people are watching the spectator sport, the more popular ones get more money
it's not even necessarily the best players that get the biggest pay, it's more about how big of a crowd they can bring in consistently
female sports just simply dont bring in that big of a watching crowd, mostly because men prefer watching men play the sport well and women like looking at hot/popular men

This. How many feminists that bitch about female athlete pay on social media do you think have actually bought WNBA tickets to do something about it?
Yeah they do that shit here in burgerland too. There's lots of famous commentators who honestly enhance the game quite a bit, and these retarded women who don't know what they're talking about ruin it. Like Tony Romo, in case non Americans don't know, he was a starting quarterback for years and now he's a commentator, and he knows his shit so well. He does these really good breakdowns because he knows what the guys on the field are thinking, he even played with some of them. But the women commentators are all retarded.
If they switched to volleyball type outfits they could get more viewership and therefore more money. Low cost high reward. Ezpz
Sometimes I wonder...do women actually think they’re as powerful as men are? Or do they just want attention?
