    Doesn't seem to give any reason for why they should get equal pay apart from them being women. Or can I get offended that my 5aside team didn't get equal prize money for winning the hounslow East division 6 title last year? Where they do they think prize money comes from exactly?

    517m watched the 2018 mens world cup final.
    13m watched the 2015 women's World Cup final.

    So the men generate about 40x more viewers yet only get 13x more prize money. Presumably if the female teams are asking for fairness and parity, they're realistically expecting their prize money to drop slightly?

    They'd generate a bit more interest playing in a thong and a wet t shirt.

    Their biggest worry must be that the BBC shows their sport live. If the BBC shows you live, you know you're not playing anything worthwhile.

    They want equal rights but want handouts aswell. Actually I have a great idea let's make things equal and merge men's and women's sport together that way everyone earns the same

    Should League 1 get equal pay with Premier League?

    If they're not generating the same revenue for the organizers they shouldn't be earning the same pay. Got nothing to do with what's between the legs, it's about economics.

    Completely agree, the pay is for the skill level not because they are men or women. If they want true equality then we'll just scrap women's football and they can try and get in the men's teams.

    It's the opposite of what everyone else must do.

    Most PL players are girls anyway. So what’s the problem here?

    I'm happy for the women's game to be given a slight lift up for the restrictions put on it can't believe the official England Women's team was banned from the 20s-70s! but yeah whilst it's a sport it's also a business and the revenue streams are incomparable, a little help sure, but what is being suggested is way too much.

  16. I’m all for sexual equality, but these women footballers really shouldn’t worry their pretty little heads about this kind of thing.
