Salaries are based on ratings and how many folks watch the competition. Currently, most women's sports are not as popular nor have as many viewers as men's sports. Therefore, salaries are lower. There are some sporting events where women make the same amount as men. The major tournaments in tennis are one example. For the 2008 Australian Open, both the men's singles winner and the women's singles winner won $1,197,739.20 (US). Both the men's singles winner and the ladies singles winner at the 2007 Wimbledon Championship won $1.4 million (US).

∙ 12y agothey lack physical fitness and potential that men do, not being sexist and I'm not talking about girls on roids either, an average male and an average female compared to each other in something as far as physical tasks go, well the man usually does better due to millenniums of trying to be the dominant male to get girls to like them. obviously there are alot of cases where this is false. anyone can train themselves and work out to increase there physical potential, but seeing as how the starting base is men>female when it comes to sports if both of them work out the men still come out on top. like i said there's a lot of cases where this isn't true and i don't mean to offend anyone by saying this. as Daniel tosh said,"women may be just as good at sports as men, but as long as they're hitting bigger balls and swinging from shorter tee's we'll never know" and i find that to be true, if women want to be taken more seriously when it comes to sports then play "manly" sports, like football, hockey (coed with out desiring special treatment) and Baseball instead of softball. the only two sports i can think of that both sexes play with the same rules and distances is tennis and soccer, oh and maybe Basketball idk. being the dominant male to impress the female is the same with every mammal in the world for a realllly long time, it's natural selection and it's not just with humans, and not just with sports either. if you don't want special treatment, no ones stopping you from trying to up the ante a bit with other sports.

∙ 13y agoThis is always a controversial subject. Simply because Scientifically, Men develop muscle faster and more bulk than Women. But by personal experience it relies on whoever is more coordinated and especially whoever tries harder.
