Sure that's fair enough and I do believe lots of women watch sports but this guy is saying it's women's fault that women's sports aren't more popular. Just women's fault. Surely it's "sports fans" not specifically women.

I'm not a sports fan and I don't know how you get more fans of women's sports but I think this guy blaming women is a joke

I think the point is that people complain about the disparity of income between pro women athletes and their male counterparts. The complaint comes from a place that there should be an inherent level of pay for women that is close to or equals the wages the men.

What they don’t advocate for, is for more people to watch and support women’s sports, just that women deserve the same level of wages as male athletes.

Pointing out how popular shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians is, with the demographic of viewers skewing heavily female, points out the fact that even women don’t wanna support women’s sports over other forms of entertainment. So why do female athletes exactly deserve the same pay as males, when there is way less of a demand for it?

Instead of people advocating for equal pay, why aren’t they advocating for people to watch and support women’s sports, as that is the real avenue for them to actually make/deserve equal pay?
