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

Even when it's about percentages it doesn't make sense, WNBA generated negative money. And in sports that generate money women get more percentage.
