To me the devil is in the detail. The minimum hourly rate!

Players in Australia’s W-League will have their annual minimum remuneration hiked 33 percent to A$16,344 ($11,400), with their base hourly rate matching the men’s A-League, Football Federation Australia and the players union said on Friday.[/color]

[color=#990000]

You see? It does not mean they inevitably earn same salary.


The deal will reduce the gender pay gap in Australian football but male players stand to earn significantly more due to their greater time on the pitch.[/color]

The W-League’s regular season ran for 14 weeks in 2018/19, just over half the length of the A-League’s 27 rounds.[color=#990000]




So therefore due to limited weeks of activity the women will still earn less than men. Moreovet, the parity is at the basic or entry level not at the upper echelon of men's game.

What kind of fvckery is this?

Does female matches generate the same viewership/sponsorship and revenue just as male matches to make both genders earn equal pay? This is absolute bulllshît

Bull crap. It should depend on how much crowd they themselves pull in, not on how much pay their men counterparts get.

They should be paid by how much the league generates. Even in tennis men play 3 to 5 sets and women 2-3 yet they get paid equally. That's nonsense
I think women's tennis pulls more crowds. It's the miniskirt thing. Covert porn.

I watch female sports ,from football to tennis,to gymnastics to Running, to figure skating to golf to wrestling. . And I'm a female. Females watch each other's sport more than you think. .so talk with a little sense. Or at least research. Nigerian females are not the only females in the world.

U TALK LIKE A SISSY

Doesn't make sense. When you do this, you ruin sports. Market forces; supply and demand is the fundamental driver of any industry or business. Women models earn way more than their men counterparts; because female beauty sells more. Even men prefer to see female models than fellow men models. Likewise men earn more in sports because it's base largely on athletism and strength where men dominate due to their high testesterone; more competitive and fun to watch. Even women prefer to watch men sports than fellow female sports. Have you ever seen all women gather like men to watch female sports? No, but they will gather to watch female model or celebrity like Kardashian; to pick up one or two styles. Let the free market fundamentals drive the industry! This issue was a hot topic in US years back, since US is largely a capitalist economy, the NBA and other sports refuse to bulge, insist "men earn more because of high views. If the women get their views high, they earn more too. Simple"


I CAN REMEMBER WHEN U.S U16 MEN BEAT U.S FEMALE TEAM, AND WORLD NUMBER 1 BY 8 GOALS TO 2 ( U.SU16 MEN 8 VS 2 U.S SENIOR FEMALE TEAM )

How many women watch women football?
Until you women support your female sports you’d play 2nd fiddle.

Hope the sponsors of female football leagues in Australia can meet up with the payments.

Re: Australia Passes Law To Pay Male And Female Footballers Equal Pay by Nobody: 8:57pm On Nov 06, 2019
It says base pay will be the same. meaning same minimum amount.

But of course men will negotiate for much higher amounts or they won't play.

This doesn't mean much in practical terms. The men will still earn considerably more because they pull in much higher revenue.

Read beyond the headlines folks.

Nothing to see here.

Nope.. The female team has been more productive n result oriented in recent years.. so its a gud decision.. D same thing should be done in Nigeria.. But it will only be in Countries where d female team performs better than d male team on a regular basis.. Women will always b women.. They don't play d same quality of football.. That was y a Boy's U16 team defeated the best female team in the world n World champions USA 5-2 in a friendly.. u can't compare a full grown woman's strength n tenacity 2 that of a teenage boy..

If you want to watch an actual game of hockey played without grandstanding, watch the women's game. They focus on the actual sport...very refreshing.
