Whose words was I parroting?

Look at the statistics. Who is watching sports? Who is encouraged to be in sports as a career? Who is given funding? Who isn't? If women consistently make less and their sports is not watched and they make less because of this, do you think it has the same effect as male sports on men?

I love how you're telling someone to look at the statistics when they're the ones actually citing statistics and you're just spouting broad assertions. Why don't we take a look at the statistics? The WNBA makes 0.76% of the revenue of the NBA (despite its operating costs being subsidized by the NBA). Do you think that only 0.76% of women participate or are interested in sports? Well, 50-70% of women watch sports regularly depending on the country, according to last year's Global Sports Survey.

For one, their stats were behind a paywall and it wasn't just about sports but anything aerobic or strength gaining related. People who go to the gym do not equal people who are involved in or interested in sports. People who go on walks or do yoga does not equal people who watch sports.
