My question is: should female athletes get the same privilege as males do and receive the same amount of pay in sports. Girls spend just as much time and effort in their sport and training as males do however males bring in more money buy selling merchandise and can perform longer. Points for Cons (Against)
Female athletes certainly do have the same privaledge by privileges I mean they are fully entitled to play sports professionally, and everything is almost similar, accept for the amount they are currently earning in general. However, a majority of professional sports have always been male dominated, but this is no excuse for females being ostracized.
The reason male athletes earn more money is because male sports generate a greater annual revenue; therefore, teams can afford to pay male athletes a greater amount. By greater revenue, I am referring to people in attendance in a stadium, sales of merchandise, media attention, and the fan base of the particular team. professional female sports in general do not generate as great of attention as professional male sports, thus, the franchise, team, or association can only pay their athletes a sum of money that is earned (same goes for male sports).
The Essay on Is male more aggressive than female?
It is generally thought that human males tend to behave more violently and aggressively than human females – and it seems true. In United States, most of the homicides during 1980 to 2008 are males, representing 90% of the total number (United States Department of Justice, 2010), and it is also the trend in the whole world. The reason of the difference between man and female in violence is always ...
If professional female hockey generated the same amount of publicity as professional male hockey, without a doubt they would earn the same amount as men; but if the money is not there, it is not possible.
Let us use the National Basketball Association for example. You say everyone is equal, but simply, this is not the case. I am not strictly referring to women, but men too. Take a look at Kobe Bryant, he is paid a great amount because of his excellent talent; referring to his skill set, he is superior than say, a rookie who has just joined the team and does not have the same skill set or level of popularity. Kobe Bryant can be paid a great sum because he is on a popular team that generates leading annual revenue and can afford to do so, and because he is an eminent player.
If we take a look at the WNBA, none of the professional female athletes are equally paid because (just like male sports) their skill set and team revenue determines their salary. The top professional female basketball players’ salary is based off of how much her team can afford and her level of popularity as a player (but this goes for all sports).
If you think that there “should not (be) more important players as it is unfair to everyone else”, perhaps the nature of sports is not for you. The indispensable factor in professional sports, regardless of whether it’s female or male, is to win. The best way to win games is to have good players, and the best players make more because their talent excels beyond their contemporaries.
“(M)en think they are the best at everything”, I feel no need to comment on the bias absurdity of this comment. You have not backed this up, and cannot reassure this comment with facts.
In conclusion, male sports generate a greater amount of money, which in turn, allows that certain associations, leagues, and etc. to pay their players more than professional female sports. If female professional sports generated as much income as some male sports, females would be paid the same amount; however, if the money is not there it cannot happen. http://www.debate.org/debate/36690/
