It’s freaky Friday and a time to delve in a little bit into the growing trend for demand of equal pay in sports by some women rights activists.
In as much as “equal pay for equal work” might sounds exciting on the fundamental right level but these activists must consider some underlying complexities in the sporting industry and business model as even in contemporary society, people are paid just beyond working together or same industry.
We must come to terms to demand for a better and healthy workplace and welfare rather than the lazy exploitation of the fundamental rights phenomena.
Women cannot earn equal pay with men as long as the sporting industry is concerned unless certain conditions of the sporting business dynamic has changed.
Besides, even in men sports- not all men earn equal pay na why Enyimba player go play 90minutes collect weekly wages of 200k while a Plymouth player go collect pass em for same 90minutes or less self.
To him with knowledge; ask of wisdom!!
Cheers 🥂
