So, I am just catching up on this. To be clear:
- Football Ferns get the same amount of funding from NZF as the AWs.
- Both teams have a mix of (technically) amateur and professional players, although obviously more of the men are pro.
- NZF received more money in the last financial year from a crazy opera singing philanthropist who isn't even a kiwi than they did from any one of their sponsors.
- NZF wanted age group players to pay for their own trips to an international tournament
Is that correct? If so, what is she trying to achieve? I get that it might reach a point where you have to make a tough call about your priorities. I get that you might be pissed off about the lack of professional opportunities compared to men. I get that you would be pissed off at the general incompetence of NZF.
I don't get the feeling of injustice at this specific issue. How much money does she think NZF has?
