BrettAS Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 This has probably been done before, but not in my time. whats the feeling on equal prize money for boys and girls??
E1A104 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I think they should take that one step further and just have one lot of prize money - First 10 in get to share the spoils.
BrettAS Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Devils advocate - maybe the reason nobody knows the top woman cyclist is because she cant promote herself as well as the men becasue she gets short changed?
knersis Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Think it should be propotional to the numbers of male / female entries.e.g 1000 riders 400 female = 40 % of pricemoney.600 male = 60% of pricemoney. Don't see how they can give a person who comes 3rd out of 5 the same price money as a person that come 3rd out of 200.
bruce Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Who is the worlds top women road cyclist Nicole Cooke I know there was an agreement a couple of years back amongst the ladies teams in SA that they would not participate in events that did not offer equal prize money.
AndreZA Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Well, at last weekend's provincials there were 15 women racing in all the categories. The podium for some categories could not even be filled. So what competition is there.
Oertel Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Nonsense. In wimbledon they get equal prize money. But men has to win 3 sets to win a match and ladies only 2. It doest add up. The men work harder so they deserve more.
splat Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I am not sure if there are any ladies in the final tomorrow... hat, coat, door, SLAM!
Oertel Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Thats a fact. Those two are so butch most of the men on the circuit are scared of them.
AndreZA Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I am not sure if there are any ladies in the final tomorrow... ? hat' date=' coat, door, SLAM![/quote'] ek gril myself vir daai twee.
BrettAS Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 it is a problem when equal prize money is ofered and you dont get the support from the fairer sex.maybe the ratio idea is a good one. but it will be more like 80% - 20%. like to see the girls racing for that? or support the events more.
American Flyers Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I think it will be better if they get same prize money, so that it will encourage more woman to race more like men....
