Ibrahimovic: Men Deserve More Respect Than Women by naijasofamerica(f): 11:12pm On Dec 26, 2013 |
Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes male players deserve to get more recognition than their female counterparts in Sweden and people should stop whipping up a gender storm about it. Swedish FA sparks gender row after Svensson car gift. Record-holder Svensson calls time on Sweden career. Ibrahimovic escapes ban for gun gesture. The Sweden captain spoke out after his country's FA was slammed for presenting midfielder Anders Svensson with a new Volvo for breaking Thomas Ravelli's record of 143 international caps. However, when women's midfielder Therese Sjogran failed to get similar recognition at the same football gala despite earning a record 187 caps, the move was widely criticised. "With all respect for what the ladies have done, and they've done it fantastically well, you can't compare men's and women's football. Give it up, it's not even funny," the Paris Saint Germain striker said in an interview with the Expressen newspaper published on Wednesday. "When I come out in Europe they compare me to (Lionel) Messi and (Cristiano) Ronaldo. When I come home they compare me to a female player. "With all respect for the ladies, they should be rewarded in relation to what they generate (financially). "I was asked (by Swedish media) in the summer who was the better player, me or (Sweden striker) Lotta Schelin. "You're joking with me, right? When I've broken all these records, this goal record, the goals in the national team, who shall I compare it to? Shall I compare it to whoever has the record, or the ladies?" Sweden prides itself on gender equality but, while the women's national team is more successful than the male equivalent, men's football gets bigger crowds and support.

Reverse is the case here in Nigeria. In soccer,men are more respected and recognised than women. |

I think i disagree with Zlatan. This is a sport most people sees as a man's game & if the women are playing football as highly recognized as Female football is today, i think Women deserves better as well & they should be respected. |

Cooldude001: I think i disagree with Zlatan.

Football like any other sport is a BUSINESS. The more money you generate, the more returns for u. Money is generated by gate fees for stadiums, selling jerseys i.e merchandising, and getting sponsorships . Stop being sentimental. |

I agree with Ibrahamovic. People should earn based on what they generate. That's why i find it strange that the ladies earn the same as the men in Tennis even when the men play more games and attract more money to the sports. |

As much as i feel ladies should be respected. I think a player should be paid based on the efforts he or she gives into his or her team irrespective of the gender. |
