It's not rocket science. If women want equal pay as the men then the womens game needs to generate the same gates, sponsorship and global audience in the form of TV rights as the mens game does. What is equal pay anyways? What is it judged against as there's a huge disparity actually within the mens game, not just between the sexes. There was a time in the Manchester United dressing room when Brandon Williams was on £800 a week, McTominay was on £10k a week and Martial was on £350k a week, 1st team players playing in the same team at the same time. So that are the women indexing it against?!.
Great points, especially around wage disparity in the men’s game that doesn’t get talked about. The men’s game is subsidising the women’s game. Two main areas being stadia provision (which in 99% of cases is loss making - clubs are losing money hand over fist putting on women’s games where the gate receipts don’t cover the costs of running the game) and media coverage. Media networks are losing out on ad revenue and subscriptions/viewership because audience figures for the women’s game are lower than the men’s. In most cases substantially.
Women’s football has a few good players, but it’s so boring to watch the majority of the time.. the gaffes highlights reel is pretty good tho each season 😂
Joey Barton puts glasses on and starts talking like the most well round person on earth. Take em off and get your shirt back on 🤣 big up! Love this chat
Being a non football following Aussie.I had not heard of Joey. I really thought this was an interesting interview. I have even listened to him on other platforms.
Former players will have anecdotes, and lets face it the audience is majority male, through years of playing that female commentators will not have. Woke only caters to a very small audience and the majority are sick of it.
It's not just about revenue it's also about who's better. In any other field it would be unlawful to split men and women. Look at Wimbledon the 1000th best player in the world earns as much as the best or second best just because she's a woman.

If it’s equal pay that’s an issue then why doesn’t a Sunday league player get the same as ronaldo gets?

Well done mate people don't like the truth anymore.
Good interview, I think joey talks a lot of sense
The last anecdote about the anonymous ex pro footballer woman getting player names wrong on Gillette Soccer Saturday is quite funny.
Yes, the BT sports equivalent. It’s Ellen White.
Who is it?

Completely agree with Joey. As do 90% of us
Fully agree joey
