Yes. This is why it seems to me to be one of those "nothing to see here" stories.

It was always looked upon as being an honour and a privilege to represent your country where any payment was minimal, amounting to little more than expenses.

This decision will not impact too much on the man's pocket, given their huge salaries, but will mean that the women will need to get bigger purses.

This announcement hasn't really changed a thing apart from perhaps people's perception of the women's game and I doubt the interest in the men's/women's game will change much either.
