Does anyone else find it troubling that the men and women are receiving equal prize purse distributions dispite the fact that women only make up 28% of the field? If you ask me, the $650,000 should be split $182,000 to the women and $468,000 to the pro men (28% vs. 72%). It stands up to reason that the men are responsible for a big majority share of the viewership, the consuming or products and media, the fanfare, etc., so why should they also not command a equitable share of the profits. I just do not get it. This is not a public company where a woman CEO adds just as much to the company as the male CEO. Here, the male has 72% impact. Daniela deserves a 40% pay cut, if you ask me. What do you think?

Am I reading this correctly? Are you seriously suggesting in equality? I really hope I have misunderstood.I think what we are all confused with in reading this, was that I/we didn't know that the internet was around in 1919 before they adopted the 19th Amendment and how this post just showed up nearly 100 years late

What do you think?Quoted so that if you make any edits we have a history of the stupidest post ever on Slowtwitch. Why would anyone believe that women shouldn’t get equal pay in a sport that is declining in participation?
We need to attract more women to the sport. Your post is disgusting.

The pro men might make up 72% of the pro field but they don't make up 72% of the impact.

Wow I thought Ironman had priced itself out of the white trash market. Guess I was wrong.

I feel like if one our pros raced for the Ironman Foundation they'd get much closer to 100k than she did.

Awww.... You got me, you little rascal! I was reading away getting hotter and hotter as one assholery followed another, thinking "Are there still social idiots like this running around loose? Voting, driving cars and breeding?" And then it hit me - this is a troll, right? And I fell for it totally. A brilliant exercise in pretending to be a complete idiot just to have a little fun with the Twitchers. Well done, my man!

Should female police officers earn less because they make up less of the police force? I don’t think so.

is sponsorship money equal? i would probably think no...and these athletes make more off sponsorship/endorsements than anything else.

I'm against gender inequality, and it is your post that I find troubling.

I don't know the right answer, but there has to be a more equitable distribution that's in line with relative financial impact than a simple 50 / 50 split.

0% agree with you.
No aswering question, just my opinion, your ideas come from a male chauvinist mentality.
Also I´d like to add that is seems that you don´t know nothing about female sport, and nothing about the right for women´s right in last century (maybe I´m wrong)
