For today I have the following statements and I am curious what you think of it:
1️⃣ If women sporters play for their country (for example in the Olympic games or world tournaments) they should earn the same as male sporters.
2️⃣ There should be a maximum salary that football players can earn in a year and maybe also other sporters.
By the way: I just make the statements or take them from our class or online. So it is not that I always agree with them! 😛 But I will tell later also what I think. And I hope that others will share what they think too. 😊 🙏🙏
Oh, these are not so simple theories. The salaries of athletes, especially footballers, are completely stupid. But that is based on market value. And that reflects what the athlete brings to the club. That is of course completely absurd, but it explains why CR7 earns around 200 million euros. Women do not earn as much because they do not generate as much money. Fun fact: When the women's national football team won the European Championship in 1989, the bonus was a coffee set. It is similar for employers. To put it very simply: If you are pregnant, you can work less or go on maternity leave and therefore cannot generate any money for the employer. For me it is quite clear: same education, same qualifications, same work -> same pay, basta! Everything else is a structure from our grandfathers, but we live in completely different circumstances.
