Okay, I'm all for equal pay, I get the argument she is making, but when the men's game generates as much money as it does, their pay is going to be higher.. The simple fact is, the women's game doesn't generate the revenue that the mens game does, therefore the budget simply isn't there for the women to receive equal pay.. It took years for the mens game to reach the levels of income it currently generates, so it will ake time for the women's game to reach those levels, unfortunately it may never reach that, but the women's game is becoming increasingly popular, which will only generate more revenue and therefore can only help in increasing the amount these women receive.. But demanding equal pay, purely because you win trophies and break records doesn't make any logical sense when you compare the revenue streams for both versions of the sport!
