Angry Women: Same Pay, Less Work

Well it seems the whining women have got their way yet again and now female tennis players are getting the same Wimbledon tournament pay as the male players.

Well that's fair isn't it? I hear you cry.

Not really as they play much smaller matches and attract significantly smaller crowds (not sure why that last one is but thats the stats).

I've said it before and I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, if women want equality they have to take it all. They can't pick and choose.

If you want the same pay you have to put in the same work. Hell, for all I care they can scrap female and male tournaments and make everyone compete together. Let's see how they like that equality!

wait a second.... It's gay to watch beautiful women run around all sweaty in short skirts? I must be missing something. I believe in equal rights and all, but when the ladies let the men on the emergency boats first, then we'll talk. DAM you titanic!

I was actually under the impression that women tend to draw much better ratings and crowds, but that may have cooled off some now that the Williams sisters aren't consistently on top anymore and Federer is making a case for himself as the most dominant athlete in the world (which is what got me paying attention again). Either way, I don't really have a problem with the two getting equal pay, although the argument about them not playing as many sets is a fair one.

How is tennis gay? It keeps me fit; from what I remember about you saying you were "heavy-set", you could do well to play a sport like that.

Not to mention when you're good, all the girls want you to give them lessons. (That's not my case, because I'm not good, but just saying, it's really not gay.)

Ryan has some popsicles in his cellar freezer Brandon...

Why don't male tennis players make that loud grunt when they swing their rackets?
