If you watched the women’s champions league final..chealsea v Barcelona then you’d know the answer.

They obviously don't atm, male football is by far the bigger draw. As with all sports the wages are relative to the level of sponsorship and branding opportunity, but tbh no one on earth deserves the level of pay male footballers earn lol

In the early 20th century though, after WW1, women's football was actually more popular and in some cases was getting 50,000+ spectators. But the FA banned women's football in 1921 because of good old-fashioned prejudice 😀

What there should be is equal opportunity and funding at a grass roots level so the women's game can improve and gain more attention.

They'll never be as good as male players for obvious physical reasons, nor could they fully bridge the popularity gap, but I see no reason the game couldn't become as entertaining with its own unique style of play.

I beg to differ. there are so many people that do way better things for the world that need to be paid more than them. Willy Wonka, Waldo from wheres waldo, The guy who killed hitler, you get the idea.

When I said no one deserves that pay I was absolutely including footballers lol. Apologies for my poor phrasing

They dont deserve equal pay because they have less fans which = less pay. also they arent as exiting to watch as men now this is all my oipinion
