The female athlete compensation meme

https://old.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/comments/1i437uj/no_money_for_the_female_winner_got_shower_gel/

								

								

Slowly, the real story emerges in the comments

It reports that compared to the 10,000 fans who watched Swiss jumper Gregor Deschwanden and his team qualify on New Year's Eve, only 3,000 fans tuned in for the women's event.

There was no separate ticket sale. Admission was included in the ticket for the men's qualification. It's just that 7000 people left instead of sticking around for the women's event. It was the men's qualifications but the women's main event, for which the winner actually received more than the man who won that day (4300 francs). Doesn't make for a good headline though sadly.

Nobody gives a shit about female sports, but they still need to be paid the same as men, because EQUALITY!!!! :marseysoylentgrin:

Well, the interviewee only won the qualifying round (who cares?) and got shower gel as a compensation prize. The actual winner got 4300 CHF
