Sponsors sponsor what is popular and what is not and pay the price to sponsor - the higher the level of popularity the higher the price of sponsorship. It is why multi national companies sponsor PL teams and why the local corner shop sponsors 4th Division sides.Then it is down to the international federation to make sure all incomes, from both male and female is pooled and then divided accordingly.
Sponsors are not worried where the money goes, as long as they get 5he end product.
If the male teams can’t compromise then deselect all against and select athletes that only want to represent their nation.
again this is my opinion! You have a different opinion, that’s the beauty of a forum.
If we follow your logic, male players for City, Forest, Rotherham and Macclesfield should all be on the same wages and should pool sponsorship together.....
This isnt about a male / female thing but about a level of popularity and sale-ability.
It is why The Beatles are mega billionaires and A Flock Of Seagulls are not. And why Madonna is, while Sonia isnt.....
