Question 13:

2018-04-17 07:16:45 UTC

Do you like to play with men or play separatly ?
When Kathrine PLouffe, was Young, she played with boys and girls, and on her opinion, on a certain point, it's better to be separated at the professional level.For her, men become physicly : bigger, stronger, faster. She played with men on training and thats helped her to be better , she said : "They were okay with me playing because I was good as them..... or better."
She think, professionally they need to be separated.
For KB Sharp, this is the same point of view.

Question 15: (Elora)

2018-04-17 07:16:53 UTC

Do you prefer a male ou a female coach?
Answer: I like both, we have both, for me it doesn't matter, I like having a man coach and a women coach, for me it's the same.
Yes I have also both, my head coach of team Canada is a women and her staff there're male and female.So For me i do apraciate having a women coach as a leader (...) to show that there are great female coaches to the rest of Canada. So for me i apreciate that but also the coaches what we have are male and female, there are both, great coaches, if they're good, I'm good.

Hugo Question 12:Do you want female basketball to be more popular ?

2018-04-17 07:18:01 UTC

1srt Women: Yes of course, I think they have a lot of talent, especialy as the years go by, women can do more things, there is more women who can dunk now, like the men. This is good because people like to see people when they dunk, so this is good for women basketball. When they have a lot of skills it's maybe be not good as the boys because not everybody can dunk but we can do other things like that are really nice to watch, there is Marine Joanas but she plays in my team andn she is a future star of France and how she plays it's really really really nice to watch. And I think there is a lot of others women they are like this and it will be nice if they have more exposure.

Question 1(clement):

Are you underpaid compared to men - should women be paid like men or men paid like women ?

Answer:"Are we underpaid? ...oh yes that not even the question...Big time.
That hard question too because obviously we were like to be paid like the men but like... like out it's talking about before about business it's ... base about the business because they bring Spectator...[...] It's a big business" moreover KB Sharp would like to see the days of equality between men and women arrived but she not sure he's gonna happen.
Katherine Plouff think women they should be more paid but she asked to herself where the moneys come and she think men can be less paid even if they are not gonna like that but if the same things women does the same job as the men should she get paid less. In sport she would thing it's the same but like KB said thezy have a hudge business she don't think she need to wait the day when equal be real so equal attent audience at the match were then they get paid the same. They has to be some of first step in salary for exemple but it's true that men sport get paid out ragousn now.

Question 10 (Justin)

2018-04-17 07:41:10 UTC

answer: That a top question! I believe so Yes because for me It's important to encourage girls and women and standing alone. I read a book by Brené Brown, It's called Braving the Wilderness and this is a great book. Sometimes you have to stand alone (like...) and when Billie Jean KINg dead. That important to you and so, for me my values are to encourage women and in some situations in my life now. I would have to the same and stading alone and to speak my values and to say "eh that not real" or what you doing as well, and I think It sould be doing that. Or be in différents position why will have to be brave and courageous and all situations.

For me: She have a good mantallity because she is a profesional player but she does not forget that she play a team sport and her first reaction is to encourage her teammate in all situation.
She is a exemple for everyone.
