<p>In professional sports pay is directly related to how much the fans are willing to spend to see you compete. From that standpoint professional athletes are really just entertainers, the ones that draw the best crowds get paid the most, so in that sense as long as a woman athlete can draw the big crowd she should get the big bucks. Whether it’s right or wrong that she does or doesn’t get paid as much as a male counterpart doesn’t come into play until she draws the same crowds paying the same ticket prices and then still doesn’t get paid as much as a male counterpart.</p>
<p>Now as far as women in combat… Last night my daughter told me she doesn’t mind the male officers getting paid as much as she does as long as they pull their own weight and are pointing their weapon in the same direction as she is! :)</p>
