Im going to put a question out there for discussion:-

Do women in the afl deserve the same pay as the men in the afl?

They'll only be getting $20k each not $150k+

But in answer to your question my personal view is no

For the same reasons i dont believe women tennis players should get the same prize money at grand slams as men. They wont be doing the same amount of work.

Womens AFL season is only going for 8-10 weeks so just based on that they cant be paid the same IMHO

What if they played 22 games a year?

In regard to women's tennis I think the argument put forward is about which gender creates the most revenue as opposed to the length of the matches.

Ok I'll dumb it down for u

Women are rubbish at sport

Compared to men

For example. A d4 Ammos side would destroy an AA women's team

even allowing for the physical superiority men have over women, generally, I doubt this.

any link for the fanciful claim re soccer?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Regarding the Matildas v u15 Newcastle Jets side?

Who really gives a poo. It is hard enough watching so called elite ffoty now days yet alone 10th rate females running around wishing they had balls.
What a joke. After the novelty has worn how many are going to watch this.

You're a clown
Agreed but im a realistic one.

whats the difference between women wanting to play aussie rules or any other sport, say for instance, rowing?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Is there consensus on this?

Doubt it borderline sexist

A repetitious station like fox footy would love this womens league.  This will simply replace the now defunct foxtel cup.....and I suspect will be about as popular.
