Gender inequality in college sports

Women's tennis has been viewed for decades though. Its way older than the WNBA. Truth is I can only see a few women's sports actually do well for entertainment purposes at a high scale.This shit is stupid as fuck. The NCAA is a non-profit so the women's players should have the same facilities etc. as the men regardless of how little their tournament makes. As for the pros, they are delusional as fuck. G league plays the same 12 minute quarters as the NBA but they travel by bus and commercial flights/don't have the same lodging as the NBA teams. Is this some sinister plot or the fact that nobody is paying 4 figures to see the Westchester Knicks et al ?
Tennis has equal prize money because people actually watch women's tennis. A random HS tennis player isn't about to embarrass Halep, Osaka, Serena like they would a WNBA player or women's soccer player. The "Lebron" of frisbee golf isn't making "Lebron" money despite probably having better tv numbers than the WNBA
The women's soccer players are on that shit too. They earn more than the men but it still isn't fair because they negotiated a bad contract and the men didn't?
Tennis, Soccer and MMA. I do feel as though I will see a female place kicker in the NFL in my lifetime and possibly even a major league pitcher if she has control and can throw a change up that is 10 mph slower than her fastball eg (82 mph and 92mph) with the same deceptive motion.
Don't shoot the messenger, I was just presenting both sides of the conversation.
I don't think she's perfect-- she's no Jemele Hill-- but I think she's well-intentioned. More likely to stand up for black women than half the men on this site.
My momma did it, so they can pull themselves up by Dey own boot straps
funny how whites complain about blacks on welfare but NO problems having black athletes subsidies all their other sports on campus.
What? So black women don't count as black people now?
Black women athletes area very small part of that group and btw track and field does make money for schools, hockey and golf not so much.
Malika Andrews had an excellent assessment:
Oh well. This the type of ish that makes men say f it. You got it. I will just let you fight the fight. Too much headache trying to help a group that is not fully committed to helping us.

This is why Jemele Hill is right that black men are the white people of black people.
First, don't edit my quote to create some false narrative.
Second, do black men earn more than white women in the workplace? Do black men earn more than Asian women in the workplace? Are black women on pace to surpass black men's earnings in the next few years? Black men earn less than most women in the workplace.
White women want black men to fight for their causes. However, "Karen" is out here pulling guns on us, falsely calling the police on us, and staying silent on most of our causes.
Black men could never be the "white man" of anything because we do not control anything. We could never be the "white man" of anything because in most things the black man is being taken advantage of, including sports.
Most of all we could never be the white man of black people because, unlike the white man, black men are attacked and feared by everyone including black women and black LGBTQ.
Bro, I've got time today. This is not the conversation you want.
