So are professional sports a meritocracy or not?
You're asking the wrong question. The answer to the right question is "they probably should be more meritocratic, yes." Something needs to be done to make their efforts be valued as highly as the men's team's efforts. Because they certainly are not yet, and continuing to undervalue them is only going to cost future talent.
