Still trying to figure out why Men's beach volleyball exists.
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.
Because people enjoying watching slower, less-skilled versions of basketball, volleyball, running, etc...
“.” 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.

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.
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:

A co worker yesterday asked me, yesterday, if I was ever curious whether the men in our capacity were making more hourly than we were, speaking in a victim tone. In decades at my job, no. I had never considered it myself.
A little later I questioned her on how we might proceed in the case of a a co worker, a woman, with an anger problem, til then, unchecked by administration, but now addressed by me. She said, well, you know she’s pregnant. Maybe that’s getting to her
I said she can’t have it both ways. You can’t whine about not getting treated the same as men while giving women excuses for unprofessional non dependable performance
Crickets
Women’s MMA is definitely watchable.
Like good libtards, they want their own version of the unearned, the undeserved, and something for nothing.
Same reason men’s sports do: some people want to do them and watch it done. Maybe not as many, but that’s OK. And some of the coverage has been pretty pathetic, there is a certain crowd of people who just can’t seem to not condescend to women.
