I don't really care what athletes make, but the issue has been getting a lot of traction on social media.

Women's soccer earned $73 million globally while men's soccer's revenues were $6 billion. What to be paid more, revenues must go up.

I think the best way to achieve parity is to reduce the overpaid men's earnings to that of the females.



Sportsmen and women are vastly over remunerated for their physical skills.

I like that idea. And the extra revenue will be used to reduce the price of sporting events tickets.

You are living in a fantasy world. We pay those athletes voluntarily when we buy tickets or watch games online. You say salaries are too high, don't watch games and don't buy trademarked sports franchise items.

I also watch documentaries. Should the people who appear in them be paid vast sums?



How about local sports that are telecast? Should these players receive vast amounts of money for kicking or hitting a ball?



I do not voluntarily pay money for the massive salaries. I am compelled to pay that money in order to enjoy my favourite sports.



Sportsmen and women are not only overpaid, many are paid by a contract that sees them rewarded regardless of their contribution to the sport.



And many are paid subversively through sponsorships that are funded by you buying a shirt, or shoes or a watch that you find meets your needs without even knowing that up to 10% of the cost goes into marketing.

Why dont they put these cheap players to the male league..

Well then they should be paid almost as much as males.

And I agree men and women should be paid the same...by reducing men's payments.

LOL



Dunno what all the fuss is about. I get huge offers that men would never get

If the games are raking in vast sums of cash, the players will be compensated accordingly. You and I can stop this and I do. I will occasionally go down to Regina and watch the Roughriders play. But, hey, CFL players get paid blue collar wages because earning are not even close to NFL levels. I won't watch a hockey game in person anymore, but I will at the local sports bar. But, Canada has bigger problems than the salaries of hockey players.
