My sense has been that this has been the anything you can do I can do better Olympics with the over coverage of women’s events.
Besides, eventually the transgenders will take over women’s sports and make it meaningless.
Male athletes earn more because sports is entertainment and they are entertainers. The more entertaining you are, the more profitable as well. Most female sports are boring.
Because the demand to see male athletics (in most sports) is exponentially higher. Simple economics.
“Male athletes earn more money as well, which also irks the feminists.”
Rush responded to a complaint that major athletes make a lot more than carpenters.
Rush said that if the carpenter were to build a house in a stadium where 100,000 people came to watch, he should get the athlete’s pay.
Because people enjoying watching slower, less-skilled versions of basketball, volleyball, running, etc...
I felt the same way in that most TV coverage seemed to be female diving, rowing, Volleyball etc.
In fairness they did show a bit of discus throwing male rowing. However it was mainly female.
“.” Male athletes earn more money as well, which also irks the feminists.”
Then I would strongly advice the feminists to find another line of work.
Seems simple to me.
.
Women’s Gymnastic’s get massive coverage, and swimming too, are these folks ever happy?
Probably Title XIX at work here too. ‘There must be as many women athletes as men.’ So cancel men’s competitions til the women balance is achieved.
Same reason we like woman’s mud wrestling, only cleaner.
There are really only 3 sports anyway. Prize fighting, Mountain Climbing and Motor Racing - everything else is just a dumb game

Sports was invented to give males something to do besides chase women and fight.
Women don’t watch women’s athletics. Men don’t watch women’s athletics. No onw watches women’s athletics. There’s no market for them, even for the BEST of them. I can go watch Pee Wee League sports if I want to see mediocre performances. But just like I wouldn’t pay top dollar to attend my brother-in-law’s accordian concert, I wouldn’t pay much to see average athletes compete against other average athletes.
Unless they were wearing thong bikinis and wrestling in cherry Jello.
These games have been unwatchable.
Womans wrestling?
Womans weightlifting?
Really?
Last Sunday 90% of the coverage was womans sports.
Unwatchable.
I was just thinking that same thing as I walked by the break room at work and caught about 10 seconds of the Spain vs. Serbia women’s basketball game. Now, there are a few sports where the differences between men and women are accentuated, thus separate sports for them is justified; gymnastics, women’s track and field, synchronized swimming and diving come to mind. The rest? Meh. I would rather watch paint dry than watch women’s basketball or tennis, where it is the same as the men, just not nearly as fast or strong.
Gee I’ll take Title 9 for $500 Alex:
