Lin Park Davis writes:
I can’t believe that anyone could think that men and women deserve the same amount of pay for being professional athletes. I know that equality is a hot topic these days, but I definitely don't agree with equality in salaries when it comes to sports. There are so many reasons that men should get more money than their female counterparts. I’d love to tell you why I have this opinion.

Let's Hear It!

women’s sports seem like second-class activities. If there are no spectators to watch your sporting event, it will be difficult to make money. The sports clubs have to pay women less in order that they don't lose money.
spectators
Perhaps the most important reason men should make more money is that their games are more exciting. Women’s games, in general, are quite boring. If a woman were to compete with a male, the male would always win. Men are faster, stronger and more fun to watch; Therefore
