SE SEI UOMO GUADAGNI DI PIU’… ANCHE NEL 30% DEGLI SPORT
Novak Djocovich ha affermato che gli uomini tennisti dovrebbero essere pagati più delle donne… (vediamo già il sopracciglio alzato di molti di voi), non perchè le donne non se lo meritino ma semplicemente perchè i tornei maschili attraggono un numero maggiore di spettatori. Può sembrare un’affermazione provocatoria o addirittura di cattivo gusto ma le cose non sono molto diverse nella realtà.
A dir la verità il tennis è stato il primo sport ad uniformare i compensi negli US Open del 1973, in seguito alle grandi pressioni di Billie Jean King, anche se effettivamente Wimbledon ha seguito solo nel 2007. Ma cosa succede negli altri sport?
La ricerca è stata condotta da BBC sport che ha contattato comitati di 56 sport di cui 51 hanno fornito i dati sotto riportati. Lo studio ha evidenziato che su 35 sport che riconoscono premi a livello mondiale, 25 riconoscono un premio uguale, ma 10 no.
Vi riportiamo prima uno schemino realizzato dal Guardian e dopo l’intera ricerca della BBC.
