Thoughts on Lawmaker wants equal winnings at Wimbledon
Jun 21, 2006 | 1:12PM | report this
A response to Lawmaker wants equal winnings at Wimbledon:

The solution here is simple. When women play 5-set matches, they get equal winnings. It's called equal pay for equal work. I can't believe this is even an issue. To me not making women play 5 sets is insulting to them. It's saying "We don't think you've got it in you to play at the men's level." If women can play football (uneducated Americans call it soccer, unlike the rest of the world) for an hour and a half, I think women can play 5 sets of tennis. And if they can do that, then they have the right to say, "Show me the money!"

ABOUT ME

I will always be respectful in my opinions - but that doesn't mean I'm going to agree with everyone. In all that we do we should glorify the Lord and not make such a big deal of this transient world we live in. Mark 12:30-31: "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like it; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
