Pay Inequality in Women's Sports - a podcast by Andrew, Ed, and Zak

This week on the Bill Bradley Collective, women are rightly at the forefront, as your hosts present something akin to a “state of the union” on the condition of the top women’s sports in the U.S. and abroad. Three unique situations: the 21st century achievement of women in professional tennis finally garnering equality in prize and sponsorship compensation, the present fight of top female American soccer players for similarly deserved recompense, and the now quarter century-old WNBA and what’s kept their athletes below a compensatory curve befitting their quality and what appears to be behind what may bring them closer to something more merited. The state of women’s golf and the superstardom a very notable few have achieved in the combat world round out the conversation. Tune in to a women’s event, because if not for a lack of requisite promotion, you just may have found yourself there in the first place. First, we depart from the regularly scheduled airing of grievances from three white males with an ashamed dispatch from Andrew on the abhorrent efforts of two of golf’s grandest figures to undermine the long overdue tribute to and celebration of Lee Elder’s great life’s work and perseverance at this year’s Masters Tournament opening ceremony, and Ed presents “Requiem for a Jets Quarterback,” the first (and hopefully last for at least this decade) remembrance of a failed NYJ signal-caller, specifically Sam Darnold following his trade to Carolina after three inglorious, though complicated years taking the snaps for Gang Green. Zak facing a live microphone in the wake of yet another in his lifetime full of premature Jets postmortems? It’s all coming to you this week on the Bill Bradley Collective.
