Venus, Serena Williams join Billie Jean King equal pay push

Venus, Serena Williams join Billie Jean King equal pay push:

Serena and Venus Williams are the 6th and 10th highest payed tennis players on the planet, respectively. That is despite the fact that there are around 1000 people out there that could beat them on the tennis court, but are paid less than the Williams sisters. And why are those 1000 people paid less than Serena and Venus Williams? It is because they are men. Now, we have no problem with that. The Williams’ are of a far greater value to the tennis world than any of the people they are being paid more than. What we do have a problem with is being lectured to by people that don’t understand that any pay gap is rooted in a productivity gap. We are also bothered by -possibly accidental- hypocrites that will take the money, but not the point.
