Good luck to the Welsh women against England, c'mon you Dragonesses.

A stat read out on the Welsh news today, apparently 88% of women footballers in England earn less than 80k per year.
Now I've watched womens games and the quality is really poor by comparison but, you can't fault their heart, desire and determination. Even better they don't roll around like a bunch of wimps when fouled, they don't go down (like a sniper got them) at the merest touch and some of the tackling is vicious.
My point is, at 50-80k per year, are they underpaid or paid just about right? When you look at people like Ronaldo and Messi, they get about that much per day, which is ridiculous, right?

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Going by the atrocious standard they aren’t worth £50-£80 a year.

Professional football is an entertainment business. How much they earn depends on how many people are willing to pay to watch them. Sponsorship deals and TV money also depends on the size of the audience.

It's that simple.

If they're not talented enough to draw large audiences, therefore generating more sponsorship money and gate receipts, then no it isn't ridiculous.
