Ok then if you don’t want to care then don’t post? I’m not here to try to make you understand this and judging by your post, even you aren’t sure of who attracts more of the established women on the WTA and the unknown men on the ATP.
You called her vile awful things and mocked her mental health. Don’t act like her acknowledging the atrocities of Afghanistan and Haiti somehow justified your hateful posts attacking her. You were sick with what you said about her. Truly just disgusting things were said and you should be ashamed.We called her an ingrate months ago and you had a fit. Yesterday she came out and admitted that she had been desensitized and that she was ungrateful for being paid to play. This, after the spoiled child watched the victims in Haiti and Afghanistan.
So you got it all wrong and we have been vindicated!
"To go out there & play, to see fans that people come out & watch me play, that itself is an accomplishment.I'm not sure when along the way I started desensitizing that. I felt like I was very ungrateful about it."
Her exact words. Quoted for the truth. We had called her out as an ingrate long ago but we were viciously attacked by the coddling Bart. Now we have it straight from the horse's mouth!

Origin
Late Middle English (as an adjective): from Latin ingratus, from in- ‘not’ + gratus ‘grateful’.
Apparently this is what is most concerning for the citizen of a country which is becoming a medical dictatorship on steroids.
But if the sport itself is popular then it is kind of a meritocracy. People get paid for their entertainment and while there may be other factors like whether there are big names and whether matches are competitive, entertainment is still predominantly derived from skill. Men's snooker, basketball scores more heavily, men throw and hit the ball harder in baseball etc.
If you know so much about WTA tell us why the stands were empty for the Pliskova match. You know, Pliskova, the one you claim is a bigger draw than Ruud.

Really hard to justify this one.
Should wheelchair tennis players be paid the same prize money as able-bodied players?
So, you want disabled people to be paid less. Yet you claim to be a champion of equality?
Discrimination against disabled people is intellectual discernment? Chilling.
Compare any football/soccer men player in the world to any woman, and the difference in payment will be like day and night.The women's US national soccer team is paid more than the mens.
U.S. Soccer says the women's national team gets paid more than the men's team
U.S. Soccer says women's team players have been paid more than their male counterparts since 2010. A spokesperson for some women's players calls it "a ruse."

Their UTRs do not support what you are saying. I do love your intolerance and extreme generalizations. You just paint everyone you disagree with as a horrible person. You should look up the term BIGOT. Note it doesnt define the reason one is a bigot. Unless you are fine with the other side using any justification to be a bigot like you are.
As I said, it’s the least of my concerns. It is a private transaction and there could be a million reason to pay equally or not. I would be very happy for women to get equal pay, mind you. It’s just between them and the organizers.It is confusing because BNP Indian Wells Masters offers the same prize money to both women and men. But Cincy Masters does not. Why?
The BNP Paribas Open offers equal prize money for men and women. For each tour the singles draw size is 128, made up of 96 main draw singles and 48 qualifying singles.

I can think of several reasons, such as Cincinnati having less attendance for women’s matches, or Indian Wells having certain sponsorships that support women’s tennis, or simply having more attendance.
While possible as well, I like to think that organizers are professional business people, whose decisions are based on numbers not politics. I could be wrong though.
Maybe they can do both? Being politically generates good will and thus draws spectators?

Yup. Also, an inter-sport comparison (on the men's side) will highlight a similar 'unfairness'. You're paid what you're paid and money doesn't fall out of the sky.
If you want to say that Benoît Paire has had more attention than Naomi Osaka this year than go for it. No idiot believes that. Even the women of Barty or Krejcikova just outrank the nobodies like Ruud or Felix. You think Hurkacz and Felix are outviewing Barty, Osaka and Pliskova?
Who do you think will be more watched this year? Barty and Kvitova and Kerber or the barrage of non slam champs on the men’s side who nobody knows. Reckon everyone is watching Paire and Felix on the men’s sized over the established women? I mean genuinely?
I would love to see general attendance and viewership numbers at both events and maybe it would be clear to us where this disparity comes from. It’s not all conspiracies as some want to believe. There could be a perfectly logical and financially sound explanation.
