No Matter The Sport, Women Athletes Are Always Paid Less
Source: http://www.wbur.org
Based on the article, I argue that over the years Womens pay in professional sports hasn't changed and still continue to be payed less than men in professsional sports. If women are not willing to walk away then theirs nothing that can be done about this.
The article published in Wbur, ¨No Matter The Sport, Women Athletes Are Always Paid Less,¨ informs us that Jazmine Reeves, who played for the Boston Breakers in 2014, had what I would call a breakout rookie year and after quit and got a job at Amazon. She could´ve been the star of the league and get called up to a national camp, but her and her teammates figure they were getting underpayed. The authot is knowledgeable about the topic because he mentions how the US womens national team is currently suing U.S soccer for more money.
According to the article the author believes womens sports are getting away with low pay, he says, "women have not gone on strike or threatened to go on strike." The author compares it back to Billie Jean King, because,¨when she fought for — and won — equal pay at the US Open in 1973, she didn't just say, "pretty, please." If women are not willing to walk away from their job they cannot change their wages.
Future question: Do you think women will step up and go on strike to walk away from their job if wages don´t go up?
