Hingis Talks of Possible Boycott. Comparing her greed to human rights protests doesn’t exactly generate sympathy from me. Neither does pointing out that taxes can subtract almost half of her more than $3 million earned last year. We all know that $1.5 mil doesn’t go far these days.
I do sympathize with women athletes in general, but for their salaries to match male athlete’s salaries the ticket prices, media coverage, advertising prices, and, most of all, audience viewing habits will all have to change. I hope they do, but until then I think young Hingis is in for some education in big business and economics.
