Gender Inequality In Sporting
Gender Inequality in Sporting
A growing issue in Sporting history and an issue that is still around today is about the gender inequality between the competitors and judges/referees. To this day there is a growing gap in the amount that a Male Athlete is paid to what a Female Athlete is paid. An example of this is, the top paid male athlete is Cristiano Ronaldo and he is paid $93million per year and this is compared to Serena Williams, who is the top paid female athlete in the world and only earns $27million per year. Yes they both play different sports but the top paid male tennis player is Roger Federer and he is paid $64million per year. This is a $37million pay gap.
Another example of gender inequality is the major gap in funding
