PhilsFanDrew Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The reality is the vast majority of athletes (male or female) that train on a full time basis for sports don't get a steady living wage paycheck directly from their work in their sport or athletic field. Professional athletes in major sports leagues are the exception not the rule. Unfortunately for the ladies, women's hockey is not viable as a money making enterprise and because of that it is hard to justify employing them as full time paid employees earning a living wage.
