Wimbledon Unfair to Men
« on: 24 June 2008, 17:36:15 »

We are living in a time now where women get equal pay for doing the same work as a man, broadly speaking I agree with that.

But political correctness has reared its ugly head at Wimbledon. There is a minority butch, hairy armpitted ex Wimbledon Champions (Billie Jean King and Martina Navratalova), who have been asking for equality in prize money at Wimbledon. OK

So put it another way, a man works for 6 hours on a Tesco checkout at say £6 an hour. He gets £36. A woman does the same and she gets £36.

So how is it fair that the mens Champion will be working far longer hours, up to 5 sets in order to get the same pay.

Either the men should play 3 sets, or the women should play 5 sets.

There is no equality at Wimbledon.
