The Swedish captain is now in hot soup in his own country
after speaking out that people has no right to criticize his country's FA for
not giving a new Volvo to women's midfielder Therese Sjogran for earning a
record 187 caps. Male midfielder Anders Svensson was granted one for breaking
Thomas Ravelli's record of 143 international caps.
Ibrahimovic say it’s only fair that male footballers get
more rewards as they faced a higher level of competition and bring in more
money. It is a statement that’s totally politically incorrect in Sweden which prides
itself on gender equality.
Amazingly, I find myself agreeing with the loudmouth here.
Come on Sweden, the fact that male world football is much tougher than women
world football is a certainty. Even in obsessive gender equality country like
Sweden, men's football gets bigger crowds and support. This means they bring in
more sponsorship, money and eyeballs.
Does this means they should get more? Hell yes! I take no
pleasure in this but in this case, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is totally right.

Well. wonder if he dare to say this..if he is not a swede..or famous.
Just boycott him..
He said it because he and the men are bringing in the money and the women want a 50% cut of it when they don't bring in as much. He said it not because he's a Swede or famous; he said it because he's pissed.
