    People know the “why”, but that doesn’t mean that female athletes are happy with it and don’t want to be paid more. They absolutely do, it’s something that high ranking athletes talk about all the time. But I guess you pay more attention to the headlines hating on trans women.

    “economics is not everyone’s strong point” GTFO with your condescending attitude. Wow. If you’re so interested in telling other people to be open minded, maybe listen to what female athletes actually have to say.

      You are right. There are professional female athletes who want to earn more money. Many of them are extremely smart, and they find things they can do that will make them more money. A vocal minority gets stuck trying to fight reality. These are the ones you see and imagine are the majority. This is not the majority by any stretch of the imagination.

      If you think it is unfair that women athletes get paid the amount the market pays them, then you have every right to go pay them more. Trying to force other people to pay them more is a waste of time.

        The “market” is doing a notoriously great job at distributing wealth right now. How much money do the 1% have now?

          Well, unfortunately, lots of people like to complain about what the market does while simultaneously encouraging it to do it with their wallets/purses. For instance, they say the market should give female athletes more money while simultaneously not buying their cards, jerseys, or going to their events.

              Interesting. Care to elaborate on which part/parts you disagree with? I honestly didn’t think any part of this was even slightly controversial.

                  Yeah, I’m starting to see a bit of a trend with you. It seems you’ve been trained to oppose things without knowing why. Believe it or not, there actually are some valid points inside of you, you just need to spend some time getting to know yourself enough to find them.
