Feminists would normally ridicule this beautiful rich white trophy wife with impeccable makeup.

I thought Limbaugh was dead. What's he doing posting?

You can’t see her privilege?

And yet to "Matt Couch" whoever the heck he is, she's a horrible liberal

And evidently a feminist

Everything written above is demonstrably true. Men skate much faster. Everything happens more quickly. It requires a higher level of skill. The game is significantly more violent. Have you not watched hockey?

There isn’t a player on the USA women’s team that could make a men’s college roster at Michigan State or North Dakota.

+1. PS. It's the same with women's basketball and softball. Sure, it's fun to watch your daughters play, but don't expect complete strangers to get excited about watching the games.

It must be nice for you to have a topic on the Politics Forum you can fully participate in unlike say pesky economic numbers or world politics

Swing and a miss, but thanks for playing.

Doesn't seem like it

This one's easy for you. No need to address Trump's actual performance

Keep trying. You can do it. I’m here to encourage females to succeed.

It’s a chicken and egg problem though. A big factor in generating excitement is how the game is presented. I’ve been riveted by obscure events like bullriding and surfing where I get totally invested in the outcome, because the commentators take the time to explain the fine points of the sport and make us care about the athletes. It doesn’t have to be the highest level of the sport to be worth covering. Lots of people tune in to the LLWS every year. If women’s sports were broadcast as exciting and worthwhile, fans would feed off of that.

Follow the money. There is the NBA and the WNBA. They both have a fan base and they both generate income, but more of the fans seem to prefer watching the NBA and that is fine. It is an entertainment choice.

One person wants to watch Disney, another wants to watch Star wars and another wants to watch John wick. There's a market for all of them but the markets are different sizes.

No one is minimizing their grit and achievement. If they chose to attend the State of the Union, they would have been celebrated just as much. Also, remember that a reason the men's team has received a lot of media attention is because they haven't won a gold since 1980. Women's has won 3 golds, 4 silvers, and 1 bronze since just 1998.

So the women, who have to hold other jobs due to low pay, should be celebrated and not just with an afterthought incitation because T thinks he will be impeached.

The men are lame if this was their first medial and they get paid north of $775k per year. The women just recently had their first six-figure salary and have to have other jobs.

Men rewarded for mediocrity as usual.

Perhaps the men should play the women. You know, equal rights and all. Everyone could throw their salaries in escrow and the winner takes all.

Men get paid more because their league generates significantly more revenue.

Are you actually that stupid that you don't realize all the sexist reasons they currently generate more revenue?

Would you list the "sexist reasons?"

No. MAGA should learn to Google and think critically. You always want welfare.

It isn’t real without links. Nice try bot.

Yes. PP doesn't know any "sexist reasons."

Here's one: the men's hockey game is more exciting. Is that sexist? We enjoyed both games at my house, but the men's was definitely much more exciting.

It's just dumb. To center men all the time. To think that women playing the same sport aren't as exciting. But, I guess Americans wanting to be entertained to death shows exactly why bread and circuses work.

I am as pro-women sports as can be. But people are entitled to watch whatever sports they want to watch and if they prefer to watch men's ice hockey then go ahead. There is no requirement for anyone to watch any particular sport.

A lot of Republican women do not watch women’s sports because there are too many lesbians in it waving their Sodom flag in the face of Americans.

Now the mask is off. So much for being The Party Who Cares So Deeply About Women’s Sports.

The NBA had a 50 year head start. The WNBA has room to grow. Our town follows the WNBA because one of our former high school stars just got drafted.

Ok. If the fans decide they would prefer to watch the WNBA. There's nothing wrong with that. But if they would rather watch the NBA, there's nothing wrong with that either.

It’s not either/or. The women’s gold medal team shouldn’t be treated as an afterthought because of a popularity contest. Trump had the opportunity to graciously bring them into the spotlight too, and went for the tired comedy routine.

Absolutely. My comment was about the fan base for a pro level income producing sports.

The men's hockey team got special attention because of politics. The US won a dozen gold medals, but none of the others were as politically useful.

I am not a sports fan in general - of either gender. But what I see playing out in these comments is that some people think that men's sports are better, more interesting, more exciting (although puke that violence is what makes someone get more excited) and therefore more people watch and follow men's sports. But the other side says, hey why don't women's sports and their accomplishments get treated the same way. And I think this comes down to the fact that traditionally sports were an arena more for boys and men and those sports and teams are well developed in our culture and they get the attention, money, advertising, and therefore the fans. Whereas women's sports are considered to be second class and therefore get less attention, money, advertising, and therefore get fewer fans. But realistically playing any sport at a competitive level is the same amount of effort and work for either men or women and when they perform well it is equally exciting and an achievement. But because our society is set up to view women as second class (and the current republican party reinforces this constantly), anything that women do is inherently viewed as less. Just like traditional "women's" careers are values less and compensated less. It all boils down to living in a society that is ruled by the patriarchy (primarily white). And we are all conditioned to think this way which is why what men do is "more exciting".

You are missing the point from the left wing of the D party: if more people like men’a sports it is unfair, sexist, and misogynist. Laws will need to be passed to make sure men’s sports are given less broadcast time to make it more inclusive and equitable.

A lot of Republican women do not watch women’s sports because there are too many lesbians in it waving their Sodom flag in the face of Americans.

MAGA is really insufferable. But, because you really have no intellectual curiousity or the ability to Google, it is inherently sexist to say that men's hockey is more skillful than women's. There IS sexism involved with the promotion and coverage of women's sports, leading to less interest. And, as you suggested, many men and women in this country hate women. For your edification:

"Women’s hockey, on the other hand, often emphasizes skillful maneuvering and coordinated team play, reflecting a different approach to success on the ice that
focuses on tactical superiority rather than physical dominance."

The NHL has toned down the heavy hitting in the men's games. From the non-Olympic women's games I have seen, the women are still pretty chippy. I even saw figghting. If there's fighting, men will watch.

It's not exactly an entertainment choice. Remember that speech in the Devil Wears Prada...well, your preference to watch men's sports is more of the same. You are being spoon-fed by the billionaire team owners, the media, the sponsors, and on.

So then it’s money. Again. Money ruins everything.
