> “We were watching the final of the World Cup in 2019 from our rented house in Wimbledon,” Ohanian remembered. “Olympia was running around in her Alex Morgan jersey, and I said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if she played on a national team one day?'”
> “And Serena was like, ‘Not until they pay her what she’s worth.’ And I was like, ‘Touché, okay, challenge accepted.’ And that’s what motivated me to buy a team and help be a part of the change.”

The value of your labor is what someone is willing to pay for it, like a cheeseburger or a 2004 Toyota Camry

Isn’t this the reddit man? I wonder what the pay scale is at reddit inc.

Wouldn’t want her to be taken advantage of like her poor mother who only earned $94,816,730 in prize money, plus an estimated $350 million in endorsements during her career.

They have that luxury to make that choice for her since they’re both loaded.

I love how Ohanian pops up every year to say some sort of Annoying Rich Person thing like this. I’m sure the daughter of Serena Williams is going to have no problem being a great athlete and getting paid way more than her dad ever made at Reddit.
I wonder if he’s as concerned if the people trimming the hedges at his mansion are getting paid well? Probably not, because that doesn’t affect him or his family.

So he and Serena are basically saying, this is the barrier to their daughter entering the world of professional sports. Not whether, you know, she wants to, or is good at it, or has the work ethic to succeed.
And co-opting the language of feminism while buying sports teams to live out some fantasy? Rich people are so out of touch.

This is the same dude who went on Rogan even after Joe claimed his wife was “definitely” on steroids. It’s all an act.
