Ladies football

Can anyone tell me why the ladies don't get paid the same as the men's.?? It seems outrageous to me that in this PC world of equality etc. That this imbalance occurs. I mean forget crowds tv coverage and followings etc.

I wonder why that is? I guess we will never know, that is unless someone researches it for their Phd thesis. I am very comfortable with mediocre. It is something I do to perfection

Market forces will decide. If women's football ever becomes as popular as mens, then more money will be pumped in and they will reap the rewards. Thing is about a football club, its in your heart. We only watch other sports involving English/British if they are successful. Yes I will watch the semi tonight, but I wouldn't turn on to see a friendly or normal international. I remember staying up in Olympic years to watch hockey and curling finals, because we were doing well. But I will go to see palace no matter what they do. They are In my heart. Tennis is an example. Should women get same as men? Well play 5 sets is a start. And what are the viewing figures for the men's and women's finals? So get successful, get people watching, and then you will get better pay and recognition.

Wimbledon mens final got 6.4m viewers whilst the ladies final got 4.7m but both of those matches were beaten by one of the ladies semi finals with 7.4m helped by having our own Johanna Konta playing in it.

Ladies cricket, tennis, hockey, all good but football sadly lacking. And as for the commentators. They nearly sent me to sleep.

Credit to whoever took this flag to one of the games though. It might be totally innocent but I'd like to think someone was taking the piss. Attachment: we2.png (804.40Kb) Optimistic as ever
