Male & Female = Equal Prizemoney??

[Floyd]

So, at Roland Garros they will have equal prizemoney this year for the eventual winners of the mens and ladies single titles... because of equality(???) nowadays. There were talks of having the same with the Argus Cycle tour(..if it is not already the case) I was wondering, when will they do away then with the sex differentiation and just let them, the fairer sex, enter with the men into one purse(double the money now). That will truly give meaning to the word equality.

 

What do you guys, uhm ... and girls think?

[The Guy in Pink]

There is a good case for equal prize money in Pro Tennis. They attract the viewers and the sponsors, as every guy in the world prefers to watch women's tennis.

In cycling one or two events do it, the Kremetart has for many years now, but as women only ever make up  about 20% of the field their chances of a prize are 5 times greater than the men.

So maybe the guys are being discrimated against when equal prizes are offered?

[Jules]

I agree, when the number of women entrants is more than the men (and I think we'd all like that) then the girls should get better prize money than the guys.

 

 

 

We can only hope....
