The comment, “Onlyfans pays better,” in response to a female footballer calling out wage disparity, is dismissive and degrading. Instead of addressing the serious issue of gender pay inequality in sports, the comment trivializes her concerns and undermines her professionalism by suggesting she leave football for a platform like OnlyFans.
Such statements perpetuate harmful stereotypes about women, implying that their worth is tied to their appearance or sexual appeal rather than their skills or talent. It’s crucial to highlight the importance of addressing gender pay gaps in sports without reducing female athletes to irrelevant or objectifying alternatives.
