And why should mens leagues provide financial support to womens leagues?

Yeah sperate the sexes completly in sports and that should include womens sports leaching funds from mens sports...Your strong independent women...raise your own funds...

I think it's incredibly stupid. But I also don't really care. I'd probably care more if I was a professional sports player.

The women are like "it's unfair we cant make as much money as the men's team".

And you know, I'm inclined to agree. It is unfair. So? Life is unfair. We could go and argue it's unfair to take the men's money to pay your equal salary as well. But it is the leagues perrogative to decide how they want to pay their players.

The women are like "it's unfair we cant make as much money as the men's team".

This reminds me of the issue with the US women's soccer team whining about their pay. Turns out that there was a veritable mountain of documentation showing that they not only refused the same pay scheme that the men's team was getting, but that the pay scheme they were getting was (alongside the benefits that only they were getting) was actually more lucrative than what the men were getting.

The only actual benefit that the men were getting--and that women wanted on top of everything else they already received--was, IIRC, some sort of performance or appearance bonus.
