Ronda Rousey Demolishes Feminist Reporters Pay Gap Question

submitted by Trancecoach

9 years 1 month 1 week ago

Smart response, and she can fight: "“I’m the highest paid fighter not because Dana and Lorenzo wanted to do something nice for the ladies — they do it because I bring in the highest numbers.”

Via: Even if you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, you’ve probably caught whispers of how freakin’ awesome Ronda Rousey is.

Thanks to her no-nonsense attitude — and wicked arm bar — the UFC women’s bantamweight champion become a cultural icon in 2015. Naturally, she’s been asked to weigh in on some of society’s most controversial issues, and her answers are as equally awesome as her Carl’s Jr. commercial.

Take for example, the press conference Rousey — the UFC’s highest-paid fighter — took part in over the weekend where a feminist reporter asked her to comment on gender income inequality in sports.

“I think that how much you get paid should have something to do with how much money you bring in,” Rousey said. “I’m the highest paid fighter not because Dana and Lorenzo wanted to do something nice for the ladies — they do it because I bring in the highest numbers.”

“They do it because I make them the most money, and I think that they make should be proportionate to the money they bring in,” she said.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I think that's a reasonable stance to have - but the unasked question is do women get paid the same proportion of what they bring in compared to male fighters - I don't know.

Well, people who get paid $15/HR are typically being paid more proportionally to what they bring in relative to MMA stars, do they not?

Anyway, you could do the research and find out the answer to your question, if you truly cared to know.

Moving this video to Trancecoach's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Daily Show - Sexism on the Soccer Field has been added as a related post - related requested by ChaosEngine on that post.
