President Biden FTW on the subject of women in sports





President Biden
@POTUS

Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all.

But right now we're seeing that even if you're the best, women are not paid their fair share.

It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve.

The WNBA is still not self sufficient and requires subsidies from the NBA to stay afloat.

Hopefully, with the interest that college tournament generated, the ratings and attendance will increase so that advertisers will pay more.

Ratings drive tv revenue which in turn drives salaries.
