Also men's football brings in Billions and Billions of £ each year. Women's doesn't come close and it never will because when it comes to the quality they're worlds apart.

Like you said, you're not a football fan, if you were you'd see why what you're saying is completely unrealistic and illogical.

There are tons of videos on youtube where one man will beat a women's team of seven. It's not a knock on women, nowhere near, other sports women dominate, and make MORE than the men (Ronda Rousey in her Prime for example). But football it will never happen. The men bring the big money in, and their pay reflects that.

Are you saying you don't think women are on the same level as men quality wise then? re: football . Like i said i'm not a sports expert.

I know certain sports will always be male dominated , and the image of men in pubs chanting and drinking beer will always be what's associated with
the likes of football etc.

I had to google that female wrestler as i'd never heard of her , i know there's always sports where women will excel in and be more successful. i know what you're saying.

They're not on the same level of quality, no. Don't get me wrong women's football is getting some recognition now (it never really used to), the BBC air a couple of games a week now (not much compared to men's, but it's headed in the right direction). But the numbers women's football draws pales in comparison to the men's. And that's not to do with "well men's football is everywhere, all the time" (which it is), it's because quality wise like i say, it's worlds apart. And the obvious physical aspect too.

Don't get me wrong, I've played football, just for local teams and stuff all my life, and I'm sure the professional women's teams would thrash any of the teams I played for. But when it comes to professional men and women they just cannot be compared.

Footballers, men, do get paid ridiculous amounts, the balance to say, a hard work Nurse is bollocks, on paper anyway. But the money is there in men's football. You have to remember, the English Premier League is watched by millions world wide. It's draws billions in TV rights, sponsorship's and so on from around the world, not just this little island. China, the US, Africa, South America etc etc. These Countries and Continents are pumping BILLION'S of £ into the men's game. Equal pay couldn't, and never will add up. It's just the reality.

As for Ronda Rousey, yeah she'll be earning more than most men in the WWE in atm, but i was referring to her time in the UFC, a legit MMA league, by far the biggest worldwide. WWE is premeditated, whereas she was a legit fighter, and pretty badass at it too. She didn't fight men, but she was at one point the most popular and biggest draw for the company. And in turn, her pay reflected that.
