If they want equal pay (which they get) there should be equal play. Let me see them play best of five set matches like the men. The mens matches often go better than three hours. Most of the womens matches are over in a little more than an hour.
That is far from equal.
Their earnings should be tied to the revenue they generate in crowd size, TV audience, product endorsements. No more, no less.
I’m tired of being told I have to “cheer” for women or “enjoy” women’s sports. I do not enjoy women’s sports at all. The best I can do is cheer for the American women in the Olympics but I still cheer louder for the American men.
Agree completely. Have been saying that for years.
