There is no such thing as pay equality in sport

The absurd new deal the Matildas have gotten leads me to a politically incorrect assertion.

In sport, as opposed to the office, there is male sport and female sport.Please note if equality was here there would be no male or female sport just sport. The reason there is obvious. Females cannot compete with males.
Take the Matildas. they had a practice game against a team of teenagers some years ago and were THRASHED!
Female football  players simply do not have the balance or skill of their male counterparts.  In cricket the female spinners bowl pies and no female seems to be able to bowl side on thus they cannot swing the ball as l;ate or as much as their male counterparts. Please not they never ever have a speed gun on the female 'fast' bowlers. Why? Because they are not fast.

Let us go further. I know of no sport where attendances or TV ratings are as high for female sports as it is for male sports.
Again take the Matildas against the Socceroos. They play in stadiums mostly well away from the major cities in an attempt to make the crowds seem larger.

Let us take tennis. Females get as much money as males yet they only play against females. play less sets and have much lower ratings.

Let us face it.There is simply no such thing as equal pay in sport for females because they do not do EQUAL work.
