  Instead of worrying about the pay of a bunch of loud-mouth overpaid athletes, why doesn't he concentrate on WV's citizens?pic.twitter.com/5Hr8qpkE3Y

  Can we add a few clauses that mandate appropriate behavior from the players in order to be eligible for said funds? Just a thought.

  Pay them the same percentage of revenue. The only fair thing to do.

  Should pay be put on what a person produces?

  The most fair thing anybody can do is base pay on ratings and viewership, end of discussion, all else is futile. Men don’t even get equal pay among themselves in sports. Scrap this idiotic false idea of equal pay.

  What’s next equal pay for ping-pong players because after all it is a sport, it’s not fair that football players make more… Even though the sport brings in thousands times over, the same point applies to women's sports.

  No government funds should go to any adult participation sport only for kids sports.

  They’ll just use the socialism thing, take all the money the men make and put it with the women’s money and split it evenly, and then all the men will go join professional teams and there won’t be a men’s team anymore. Back to square 1.
