Dennis Rodman's daughter. Fact remains that women's football is not generating the type of audience and revenue men's football is generating. With time as the women's sport gets popular, the revenue will increase and the players' renumeration will improve
Women football will hardly come to par with Male football......they don't have the capacity to compete in the level men do in football.

Cristiano Ronaldo - $300M PER YEAR

Trinity Rodman - $2M PER YEAR


🌍⚽ Women’s Football Makes History — But the Gap Still Tells a Story

Trinity Rodman has officially become the highest-paid women’s footballer in the world after re-signing with Washington Spirit!

She agreed to a record-breaking 3-year deal, earning over $2 million per year — a massive milestone for women’s football.

Trinity Rodman is not just one of the brightest young stars in the game, she’s also the daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman.

Mind-blowing comparison: Cristiano Ronaldo earns roughly the same amount in ONE DAY as the highest-paid women’s footballer earns in an entire year.
Dennis Rodman's daughter is the highest paid female soccer player in the wotld, that's impressive.

I like the young lady's name, Trinity Rodman. American soccer players are getting some favorable deals here.


Her father Dennis Rodman is an OG of the American NBA league and one of my favorites. My OG, Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon of the Houston Rockets played in the NBA around the same time Dennis Rodman, Kareem Abdul-Jabar and "Magic" Johnson were active back in the day (especially the 1980s to 1990s).

Do men complain that female models earn 10 times what the highest paid male model earn... do men complain that women earn 100 times more than men in the Po.rn industry ...

Interest is what determines earnings.... even the male football players dont earn equally ...there are players in al nasser ( Ronaldos club) that earn just about 100k yearly

Truth is people don't watch female football it's like male soccer in slow motion

If not for gender-equality and feminist philosophy women's soccer oughtn't be a thing...it's not even comnercially viable and it's an aberration (physically) for all the ladies involved

@cr7lomo

I CLEARLY stated in my post that Dennis Rodman played "around the same time" that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson played in the NBA and that's a historical FACT.

Though younger like you accurately stated, Dennis had started playing in the NBA from 1986 BEFORE Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson retired in 1989 and 1991 respectively. Magic Johnson made a comeback later in the 1990s though before he retired again. Our Lagos State-born OG, the great 3-time NBA MPV winner, Hakeem Olajuwon too started playing basketball in the early 1980s. It was Hakeem Olajuwon who made Houston, Texas more popular with Nigerian immigrants through his iconic Houston Rockets success story. Nigerian immigrants majorly liked to migrate to and live on the East and West Coasts of the United States but with Hakeem and the emerging oil industry in TX, folks started moving to Houston more than ever before.


As an OG as well, I watched and followed basketball with intensity right from the early 1980s and I don't like to post what I don't know (or any misleading information online). Please watch the videos and read the information right BELOW from some credible sources such as AI search and Wikipedia. Dennis Rodman is shown while playing for his team on the basketball court in the FIRST video where he perfectly blocked two of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's shots.

Yes, Dennis Rodman played at the same time as both Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, although he was a younger contemporary who entered the league as they were established stars.

Rodman began his NBA career in 1986 and played until 2000, while Kareem retired in 1989 and Magic's main career ended in 1991.

Wikipedia



Key Overlap Details:
1] Rodman vs. Kareem: Rodman and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar faced each other 17 times. Their first meeting was in December 1987, when Rodman was 25 and Kareem was nearing his 40th birthday.


2] Rodman vs. Magic (1980s): Rodman's "Bad Boys" Detroit Pistons competed heavily against Magic’s "Showtime" Lakers, including back-to-back Finals appearances in 1988 and 1989.

Rodman vs. Magic (1990s): In a late-career comeback, Magic Johnson played 32 games for the Lakers in the 1995–96 season, which was the same year Rodman began playing for the Chicago Bulls.


Teammates: Surprisingly, Dennis Rodman actually played for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1998–99 season, wearing the same purple and gold jersey as Magic (though after Magic's final retirement).
Wikipedia

Rodman, in his rookie 1986–87 season, actually played against both Lakers stars in the 1987 playoffs, a series that solidified his reputation as a defensive force, as he was known for being a "defensive beast" against them.

I want the Premier League to remove female commentators for live games please. I can watch and listen to a female commentator in women's games. Women will come into men's sports and still complain about discrimination. God.

I don't care. I don't enjoy it. I was watching Chelsea's recent match against Napoli and I also saw other people also say the same thing. I don't care about political correctness. Super Sports has some female anchors and analysts, no problem but I don't want them for the men's football commentary. Women will bring in unnecessary controversy and distractions to our game, then they will play victim. Watch how Ẹni Aluko blamed Ian Wright for preventing women from their own sports and dominating it. They will spoil the sports for us. Just last year, you saw those female presenters on the pitch wearing boobs revealing clothes, women know how to draw the attention to themselves, we don't need that

I am sure if these organizers did a poll to their viewers asking them if they wanted a female commentator, they know what we want. It's just too much political correctness today and people feel hurt.

I love the FIFA women's world cup. I watch it even when people think it's a waste of time but I prefer men for men, women for women. Let's have sense and respect each other.
Thank you.

Re: The Difference Between The Highest-Paid Male And Female Players. by grandstar(m): 11:17pm On Feb 07
It's all down to demand and supply.

It's not down to sexism or misogyny.

In the world of lawn tennis the gap between the genders is quite low because demand for both is quite high.

You hit the nail on the head. It's all about the audience.

In lawn tennis where the audience for both genders is almost the same, the gap is almost non-existent

Bro, ur comparison no get base at all. Ronaldo, no be today meat. For him to be earning dat kind money, no be moi moi o, na years of dedication, years of sacrifices, passions, hardwork, etcetera etcetera. Ronaldo don make people cry, e don make people happy too. E don make players suffer for Field. E don win many many trophies and medals. Abi na awards, e don win many. E don play all the European big leagues except Bundesliga, abeg, who Bundesliga help. So, bro, dat comparison na baseless. Which female player don reach dat pinnacle for football? Female football neva reach that level. How much revenue, e dey generate? How many pipo dey watch female leagues football or even female European champions league? How much tv right dem dey generate? Hiss...
