You should really watch this particular stand up show, and you'll see he's not as alt-right as you think.

Considering the first 10 minutes is him ragging on anti-vaxxers.

We've discussed this particular clip, and the Men vs Women sport wage gap on this site already, but...

Instead of discussing NBA vs WNBA, let's have the same discussion about Major League vs Minor League Baseball.

It's pretty obvious that, despite both of them being professional levels of baseball, MLB is MUCH more popular and much more lucrative than MiLB.

So the tickets are more expensive, the stadiums are larger, they generate more money, the TV deal is better, so the players are more well compensated. And it obviously has nothing to do with the sex or gender of the athletes, as they are all men.

This is the same metrics to measure. The average paid attendance of an NBA game is 17,184. The average paid attendance of a WNBA game was 2,636. The last NBA TV National contract was a 9 year deal that averages $2.7 BILLION a year. WNBA's is a 5 year deal for $27 Million a year.

It's simple math. The NBA generates more money because it is a more entertaining product. People want to see athletes dominate a sport. NBA and WNBA may be the same sport, but it sure as shit isn't the same game.

Look at women's Tennis. It's as popular as it's ever been. Why? Because when you watch it, on the surface, there really isn't that much of a drop off of what a women's match looks like when compared to a men's match.

Bill Burr is a garbage-tier comedian who just happens to be a slightly funny regular dude.

If you've lived or worked with any men over a certain age, all their banter is nearly-identical to Bill Burr's. He says nothing interesting or unique.

I thought the womens soccer team had benefits and salaries that the men didnt. So while the men made more money per win. The women had more money gauranteed.

Didn't the women's team agree to a shittier contract? Where everyone was guaranteed a set amount instead of taking in a (at times fluctuating but often still larger) percentage of whatever total they brought in.

The women's team's case was thrown out because 1: they actually made MORE money than the men's team, and 2: they were initially offered the exact same contract as the men and negotiated one with a higher base pay for benched players and better benefits in exchange for a smaller bonus. THEN, after bitching about sexism, and AFTER having their case thrown out, they were offered the men's contract again and turned it down AGAIN. Eventually they settled on a "profit sharing' system with the men's team which, in practice, means the men's team loses like half of their bonus to the women.

So let's not talk about "inequality" when it comes to Women's soccer.

The comparison to the Khardashians is critical as it implies there's a market for women that exists (as in they have money and are willing to spend) but it's absolutely damning to see who's commandeering that market.

Exactly. The comedians that tend to get in the most "trouble" tend to be the ones that just sit on stage and put up the proverbial "mirror" to the crowd.

The "safe" comics, like Gaffigan and Brian Regan, usually use themselves as the punchline. They're funny, mostly, but history often forgets them.

FWIW I think having a POC wife is far stronger an argument than "I have a POC friend/friends" for an "I'm not racist" defence and I feel there's a false equivalency being drawn there

Wouldn't a racist person detest the idea of being married to a non white person and having non white kids? If it's just a front to fool people, he's going pretty far with it
