Should women tennis players get the same prize money as the men?

[Will]

Following the decision to give equal prize money to male and female winners at Wimbledon the same prize money (link), what does the forum think on the subject?

Personally I reckon they should only get it if they start playing best of 5 sets - doesn't seem particularly fair that they get the same for playing less.

Yes, sex sells.

No, because they're women. When a woman gets raped it's always her own fault.

I say they get paid more, but have to wear less.



It's a win-win situation.

In my experience, no comment silences everyone around you in a bar quicker than that one

US Open, French Open and the Aussie Open all do this, and it's taken until now for Wimbledon to do it.

How English is that

 

[Áļéאָ]

yes. I like watching women play tennis more/ and I generally like women more. So I think there should be 1 more option. "Women Should be getting more"

yes if they start playing in see through underwear.

The world needs a good dose of sweaty camel toes.

The big french lesbo need not apply.

Unless they are wearing very revealing outfits OR are stunningly HOTT, I find women's tennis to be downright pathetic. I can't stand to watch it...it is the inferior brand and the reward should reflect that fact. ggh

The sport is like Kim Clijsters....the epitome of all that is dull and mundane.
