I can't get over how these news anchors don't understand why male pro athletes get paid more, even when someone tries to explain it to them ๐Ÿ˜‚

This really isn't that hard!

The ladies look at the guy trying to explain things like he's an evil member of the fascist white Patriarchy, when all he's doing is simply laying out the facts.

For those paying close attention, what they are really arguing about here is capitalism vs. communism.

But more on that in a minute.

Ultimatum: We want to support and celebrate female athletes. But the extra muscle mass and bone density provided by testosterone makes men's sports faster, harder-hitting, and perhaps more importantly for sport that makes money by entertaining, more dangerous.

That last element is one we tend to skip over nowadays.

We don't have gladiators anymore, but we'd be lying if we didn't say there was an element of danger and risk that makes the best sports so dang exciting.

Maybe that dude will get his jawbone broken by a punch to the face. Maybe that other guy will barrel into a wall at 250mph and explode. Maybe that bloke will get all his bones broken by a 350 lb linebacker who clotheslines him.

Heck, even in soccer there's a chance of real, instead of pretend, injury.

The danger puts butts in seats.

There are sports where women make more than men. But it comes down to skill.

When you try to artificially level the playing field (-cough- communism -cough cough-), you create a whole world of problems, as this gent astutely pointed out. Once you subjectively create rigid rules around one category in the name of "equity" instead of letting people compete in the free market with their skills, where does it end?

 

I'll tell you where it ends:
