Wimbledon and Equality
The women's game, which has demanded and got equal money for winning titles, produced a final between the Williams sisters (again) of just two sets, and one hour 27 minutes length.
How exactly is this the worth the same as the men's game in value, or spectacle? I cite as an example the fact that one of the Williams sister wiped the "worlds number 1" (some Russian who has won nothing) in 19 minutes 6 -1, 6 - 0 in the semi finals.
In what other sport could a worlds number one be obliterated, in less time than the men take to warm up?
I think its time to make the women's games best of five sets, and give us all a larf, watching the fat and lazy women players huffing, puffing, and collapsing under the strain of trying to actually justify the ridiculous money they hardly earn at present.
