It’s simple supply and demand. There’s a greater demand for the most elite sport events and they get the money. So sport for women, the under 18’s, over 50’s and amateur competitions just can’t generate the interest compared to elite men’s competition. That’s why men’s sport is considered more important.
14:00 after a number of petty examples of "sexism" (oh, they called it "man 1", wow), and nonspecific assertions, we get to the real point - pay. Most women's sports are unprofitable and only survive due to subsidy from men. Sell more tickets, get paid more, it can't be that difficult to understand ladies. Why should any entertainer subsidise another just because they do the same thing (should Taylor Swift give away her profits to Eminem?). If playing the victim was a sport, women would dominate.
The pay is just about how much the sport brings in. Get more women watching women's sports as much as men watch and support men's sport, then women's pay will be higher. Complaining a doctor can't leave their job to play sport is ridiculous. If anything that's more incentive not to raise the salary for sports women as well need doctors more than pro players. Also women disproportionately get paid higher than men in how much the respective sport brings in to what the players get paid.
Subtle language - rubbish. Has changing it from man 1 to p1 - made a difference? Only for women’s feelings. The stats about parents value sport for males vs females is too generic. Is that for health or career or an agression outlet or something else? It’s like gender pay gap - that takes no account of roles & hours worked. Just a bit silly.
Yakdi yak, keep on yakdi yal not realities surroundings our life . Get on with bottom line of better reading history full destractive .just good the Rich, like gone with the wind.

Don’t throw the feminist card at me
body composition (for males and females) is important in most sports.
This is going to age like milk

Blar blar blar what tripe ,,,
More viewers -> better pay... it's quite simple. Female models make a lot more than male models, is that "fair"?
