It's bad, but you should hear some of the female hockey players up here whine about funding and pay. At least the women's soccer team brings in a nice bit of revenue. Maybe 3 people watch women's hockey up here, their league just folded, and yet they're still on TV whining about not getting paid a full salary and nobody wanting to fund a new league.
The level of entitlement is sickening. It's like guess what ladies? There are professional athletes of all kinds. Not all of them make money off of it, because nobody gives a shit about their sport. Guess what they have to do to support themselves? Get a real fucking job.
A similar thing happened here in England with the women's rugby team. The governing body (the RFU) was going to scrap proffesional contracts for the England women because no one watches, it operates at a massive loss and they are only kept afloat with money given to them from the men's game. But as you can imagine there was a massive backlash and the RFU eventually gave in and backed down. So there we have an example of women being paid to play proffesional sport just because they are women and not becuase they have earned it on merit.
