US Woman’s team is suing USA Soccer because the woman’s team earns less. It’s a silly argument because none of the woman could make the men’s team and none of them earn as much from professional teams.

No chief, for the longest time there was a lack of equal opportunities.
See life gives talent without discrimination, but we humans have not for years given equal opportunity.
Additionally a smart person would know that fighters have weight and skill levels.
No fighting organization would let McGregor fight Tyson. Even though Tyson is so much older, because in all likelihood Tyson would kill him.
Fuck I'm in Tyson's weight class love to fight and no fucking for any amount of money get in the rink with him.
And your examples are in our world today. What you stated is common sense.
However, when someone tells you that both sexes are "equal" without listing the obvious exceptions, then they look foolish.
I totally agree with equality when WE do the same jobs. Why wouldnt it be equal? But also life isnt fair either. I was always taught that if you dont like, go look elsewhere. I actually worked at a place where someone was getting paid a buck more than the next guy. Found out it was because the guy cried to the boss that he was worth more to the company than anyone else. Boss fell for it. What do you do in that situation? Sometimes pay differences have a meaning for it not because its a man woman thing.
These days everyone thinks they are entitled to something whether they deserve it or not. Thats the problem.
When I play a woman in tennis I get only one serve and have to cover the doubles count plus she starts off with a 4-0 lead in every set. It's only fair.No mens and woman's league. Just one league. Her view was men and women are the same.
I heard that they lower the standards for female firefighters so they can make the grade. It's only fair because women are generally shorter, smaller and have less upper body strength. Of course, there are the rare exceptions.
..., track, ping pong, you name it can get really great scholarships.....
From my experience, getting a full ride scholarship is pretty rare for minor sports no matter the gender of the athlete. Even more rare in Canada.
Also, degree attainment rates are pretty damn high overall for both men and women. Men's basketball graduates 85% and football 79%. There are definitely schools that have very low graduation rates for these sports but it isn't always because the schools see those athletes as money makers instead of students; quite often it is because of students going pro before their 4/5 years of eligibility are up. And even though 85% seems low, graduating in 4 years while spending the majority of the school year training two or three times a day is pretty challenging.
There was an article in the news recently about the pay of female soccer players vs male and all I could think of was, Yeah, cuz I'm not interested in watching female soccer.
When the US was talking about their national programs, the women had a point because they had been far more successful then the men's team and was drawing similar if not better attendance.
They should focus during the four years. They get a lot of perks. They can take summer courses and hit the gym while on campus. If they were serious students getting free rides they don’t need extra time.
Have you ever talked to a college athlete about the commitment and time required to compete at a high level?
I was watching a hockey game on TV while at a Boston Pizza. I was thinking, jeez they are really slow, how did a kids/teens game get televised. About a minute later I found out it was top level woman's hockey. No bias there, I had no idea they were women.
As other's have pointed out, the women can always join NHL team, if they are not good enough they could join lower leagues and still get paid or go overseas like some sub NHL male talents do. Nope they instead insist on getting paid because they deserve even though they have proved they are not actually good enough... but they have vagina so they are entitled.
I would consider myself a feminist but alas I am not sexist enough to be one.
