I said that what they are being paid is what is making a mockery of their calling it a professional league. If you can't see how an abomination of a pay-scale would make something a mockery of what it espouses itself to be in that way - you're just plain short on reading comprehension.The whole statement is worse bud.
What they should be paid, we agree on.
What they are and what they call themselves is a professional soccer league. You calling that a mockery is you mocking them, and not respecting them as professional athletes.
I am sorry that I didn't pull your full quote, I figured you would be able to see the error in your ways, but your opinion seems to be the only one that matters.
As was stated earlier referring to baseball or football in the 1930s/1950s - When much of your league is composed of people who can not put their entire focus on their craft, and instead is stuck working side gigs like house cleaning or packing up Amazon boxes, and stuck competing against people who can spend their entire year training: that is not a league composed entirely of professional athletes. That statement is not misogynistic, misogynistic would be saying that that is how it should be. Misogynistic would be saying that these women DESERVE to be paid like something less than professionals. They compose themselves to the extent they can as professionals, but their pay scale simply does not allow it. Calling attention to the way that a league LIES about what it is so that the problem can be solved is not misogyny.
