Leftists are slowly choking the life out of comedy.
Political correctness has run amok.
But one comedian just ripped a “woke” sports league to shreds.
Comedian Bill Burr may lean left, but he is certainly not on board with the far-left “woke” agenda.
For example, Burr took aim at the absurdity of female athletes complaining about the gender pay gap.
Some WNBA players have complained that they only make a fraction of what superstar NBA players get.
It’s an absurd proposition on its face, but feminists continue to trot out the ridiculous.
And Burr took aim at the feminists in his latest standup special.
Burr said, “If you could just support the WNBA the way you support a fat chick that’s proud of her body and is no longer a threat to you, that league would be doing better numbers than the NBA…I saw a woman a couple months back, professional soccer player, she goes onto one of these sports channels, and she starts bitching, going like, ‘I don’t understand, how come female athletes don’t make as much as male professional athletes?’ And all of these men had to sit there and act like they didn’t know what the answer was to that. I’m sitting at home, screaming at the TV: ‘Because you don’t sell any f*cking tickets!’ Nobody is going to women’s soccer games. You’re playing in a 20,000-seat arena, 1,500 people show up, that’s not a good night. The promoter lost his f*cking ass on that gig.”
This is basic supply and demand economics, but leftists hate economics, so they are willfully ignorant.
Instead they blame “the patriarchy” or the notion that men are socialized to enjoy sports, and women are not.
Their belief is rooted in socialism; wherever they find disparities, they act as if some form of unjust discrimination has taken place.
Burr continued, “None of you showed up…Where are all the feminists? That place should be packed with feminists — faces painted, wearing jerseys, going f*cking nuts like the guys do. None of you went to the f*cking games…You failed them. Not me. Not men. Women failed the WNBA…Ladies, name your top five WNBA players of all time. Name five WNBA teams. Name the WNBA team in your f*cking city. You can’t do it. You don’t give a f*ck about them.”
The Houston Comets, the team that won the first four WNBA titles, has been defunct for nearly 15 years, and nobody noticed.
The WNBA is completely subsidized by the NBA.
Burr added, “Meanwhile, you look at the Kardashians, they’re making billions…You look at those Real Housewives shows, they’re making money hand over fist. Because that’s what women are watching, and the money listens…That’s the message you send: We’d rather watch that than a bunch of women come together as a team and try to achieve a common goal. We would rather watch them absolutely f*cking destroy each other…And then in the end, you come back, and you f*cking yell at guys…So let me get this straight: I have to buy you a drink, stop the ax murderer from coming through the f*cking window, and I have to watch WNBA games for you?”
Burr nailed the absurdity of the entire feminist argument.
Unfortunately not of it will break through because leftists do not operate on logic.
