Hahahaha,

"It might take more than a few years for the pay to parallel . . . "

Not a chance.

Any Professional League or Association that has the words "women's" or "ladies" in the title is lying to the public.

The LPGA is going backwards in terms of acceptance, the WBA is a drain on the NBA owners, the female version of Professional tennis has run head long into the "Tiger Syndrom" --

They will never reach an equal status as there is just too much competition for the sports viewing dollar.

The true version of "equality" is more likely reached at the lowest levels (Little League, etc.) where fewer and fewer boys are participating and those spots are being filled by girls that desire the same level of competition.

While there will always be the Sheryl Swopes's, Michelle Wie's and the Williams's sisters types . . . sadly, women's sports will never become equal to men's.

Ask Jimmy the Greek.
