But you do believe they should be paid, just not as much yet?
If women's football reaches the viewership and attendance figures of the male game, you wouldn't have a problem with them being paid the same.

Equality of outcome.

Sure, but that isn't what is happening. They have been subsidized.

And, just like we hear in America, the calls for 'equality' regardless of viewership and attendance is coming.

Look what Tennis did.....The women are paid the same yet they don't attract the same numbers or even play the same sets.

Hence I don't support 'equality', because it frequently has little to do with fairness.

Doesn't even have to be the women's game. Look at someone like Andy Carroll. Was at West Ham on £90k a week, then compare his record to someone like Glen Murray, who we should never have sold. Is that fair?
No, but who cares if we have to pay increased subscriptions to Sky and higher season tickets.

Nope, that isn't fair, though I'm not sure what the 'equality' point is. The reason they are paid more or less is due to the perceived ability of both....It isn't an equality or fairness thing.

The Sky subscription is purely an economic decision that a punter makes.....ie value for money.

I don't think it's worth that cost but others would disagree......So it's a free market decision.

Even if they were he probably wouldn’t know.

Wrong apostrophe.

Well Boris is no social conservative in that sense.

This is petty but it’s you, so I will be darling. Nothing wrong with that apostrophe. My wife is a primary school teacher if you fancy a refresher lesson.

Of course it's petty, it's you! You get what you give.

And it's still wrong.

How do you feel about Boris’ traditional family unit?

It should be Boris's, as, for example, in St James's (Park).

And you didn't?

All politicians lie and mislead so the Lefty campaign slogan that Boris can't be trusted is quite ridiculous.

It’s literally one of the few occasions where we are both right.

Weird.

 


Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
