WNBA players had Title IX to succeed, but are in season nine of extreme failure. Danica Patrick—the rookiette race-car driver who came in forth at Sunday’s Indy 500—didn’t have Title IX. They don’t have it in racing. The IRL only has that amazing non-governmental program, called, “The Free Market.” And unlike the WNBA, Patrick competes against the men on their own turf. And succeeding.Yep...that is absolutely correct, Debbie. She's got more to say on the subject...read the whole thing.
That’s the lesson of the last week in sports: Feminism is phony. Sports are showbiz. Good-looking women get endorsements. Women who look and act like men don’t. Women who succeed against men on their own turf get respect. Women who constantly whine about equality—yet need their own, separate, unequal league to succeed—don’t get respect.
Mark's Remarks
Ms. Patrick is far cuter than anyone in the WNBA, which helps( though I think Sue Bird and a handful of others are quite good looking as well). However, the premise remains--subsidized "equity" leads to mediocrity and less interest. Somoene fighting up in the free market showing she is just as good as a man in driving ability (did you see that spin, etc.?) invigorates people and shows hard work is the key to "equity." Now, you will have your whining babies like Robby (I must be Related to Jeff)Gordon, who gripe about Ms. Patrick's weight. But come on, be a man, not a girly-man, and compete, quit crying because she has a quality ride and you couldn't cut it in IRL or NASCAR!
