See, that's why I admire Billie Jean King so much. When she got fed up by the hypocrisy of the world tennis association giving men 10x more price money then women, whilst women were 50% of the spectators she just created her own association, tour and sponsors, and persuaded all of her colleagues to go with her. Even when they told them they cannot participate in any grand slam. In the end she won, and it was a huge victory. There's a lot of shady corruption going on with these tournaments there. They should just create their own association.
