ORIGINAL: JVoV The rights of the athletes have nothing to do with the preferences of the viewers. That preference may be what is holding things back. True. But legally, athletes have ZERO rights when it comes to the amount of their compensation. They are independent contractors and are not entitled under any law to have pay equal to anyone else, regardless of sex. It is truly a free market. They can negotiate, through their agents, as much as they can get.
