The pay gap in sports is super easy to explain I dont even understand how its an ongoing conversation. Professional sports and the players of those sports are paid millions of dollars because it SELLS if people aren't watching women's sports for whatever reason they may have its simply not selling nearly as much hence why they get paid less, its not real rocket science

And it's easier to explain if you remember that there is also a huge pay gap between men. Stephen Curry is not paid the same as a random NBA player.

Yep. Apex fallacy. The foundation for a lot of feminist thought.
