They need to protect David Neres and the rest of the Brazilians at Shakhtar at all costs

Tennis is different. I think women tennis players when Williams sisters were at the top of their game was bringing in a lot ratings/money via sponsorship.

US soccer man benefits from international tournament where top world soccer players are playing so they get bigger money bc the mens game is way more valuable. It’s sucks that US women soccer is exceptional at thei job and the womens game is not as valuable but business is business.

Pretty much this is how I've seen the whole situation.

Most of us in here would not go to a women's WC game on our own accord unless it's a social event or tickets are cheap
Even women don't really value their own game like that

But if I talk too much they'll say I'm misogynist

Tennis players are paid by hourly rates?

Nah, they play when they win. The winnings for the winner in the AU Open for both men's and women's is the same, but technically, Men do more work in that they play more sets than women for the same pot.

The way Neres dropped at Ajax is outstanding. Antony straight up replaced him as the skillful Brazilian

Neres is still a Copa America winner and 2-time Dutch Champion

So you think tennis players are paid based on sets or hourly rates.

From a set-by-set comparison, Men do more work. I'll leave it at that.

That’s not what pay in entertainment is based on. If that’s the case, concession stand workers should earn more.

they're paid via tournament prize money, appearances, sponsorships, bonuses, & exhibitions

I’m aware, which is why the “more sets” argument is doofy.

If you want to say men tennis players bring in more sponsors, ticket sales, etc for the grand slams then fine. I’m not sure that’s been true since the 90s.

I stand corrected.

Dap + Rep, I always say. You learn something else every day.

Tennis might be different since the tourneys are "one" unlike the WC that has a separate tourney for men's and women. Citi Open in DC be lit tho

yea I remember the head(?) of the ATP got in trouble some years ago by saying the Williams sisters should thank Federer & Nadal for making the tour as much money as it did/does

so while the Williams are big draws here in the US...there's no woman drawing bigger crowds/tv audiences/sponsors than the Big 3

and even in general, the men will draw more...but there isn't really a big star in the sport right now besides the Big 3 (Federer/Nadal/Novak) & the Williams sisters...so now is as good a time for the women to make the play for equal pay, and actually get it.

edit - forgot to add Osaka as a current star
