Do you think in tennis, that women and men should get paid the same?

Question

If yes, tell me why! If no, tell me why not!

Answer 1

Yes, women should be paid equally as men. We all make the argument that men play best of 5, but women only play best of 3 and I think that argument is just not valid

Lets not forget that at the end of the day, tennis players are entertainers. We go to see a match to support our favorite player, to enjoy an amazing match and get entertained. And entertainers dont get paid by the hour. They JUST GET PAID. PERIOD. If Madonna does a concert, it could last 1 hour or 10 hours. It doesnt matter cuz its a done deal!

Answer 2

I agree with the first post. Everyone plays 5 sets to get the same pay.

Answer 3

No. When they play 5 sets like the men, and five sets of advertising revenue, then maybe the money can be equal. When all else is..

Answer 4

nah, cos they only play 3 sets. if they played 5 then yeah, fair enough. but they dont, so i think its right really.

Answer 5

Of course, they should, and women should get the same pay as men in other occupations, too....(which they don't).

Answer 6

Nah ! If women want to be paid the same i feel their grandslam matches should be best of 5 just like the guys ! Its not fair but hey i cant change the atp`s desicion can i ? lol
