So, slow, heavy and unexciting?

You are exaggerating. Gas cars aren’t making the rich social pariahs. I mean every year they each produce 12 years of your carbon footprint flying out to their eco-party on Davos. They don’t care about such things.  You switching to electric means more gas for them.

lol

Eh. I mean it’s a nice idea that the world would get together and “go green”, buts it’s about as likely to happen as world peace. At this point it’s too late, and it would still require countries like China to care even in the slightest. I honestly don’t care anymore. I don’t have kids with my wife so I won’t be here

So nobody else except for her is talking about this? Is that correct? 

Bingo!

The US has reduced their carbon emissions by nearly 20% since 2000, yet India and China have more than doubled. Why is she complaining to American leaders when we’re nowhere near the biggest contributor? When she starts talking to China, I’ll take her seriously. Until then, shes just parroting what the adults tell her

Unfortunately, in the world of motorsports, there aren’t enough women racers to get an accurate metric as to how they compete in the sport. Funneling money into their racing budgets, especially at earlier stages of their careers [karts, FF, etc.], might entice more younger girls to give it a go. Also, encourage

Lance stroll won a ton of lower formula championships and nearly put a modern williams in P2.   Throw around pay driver/rich kid insults all you want, but he would run rings around anyone in the W series.   Money gets you in the door, but without results you are shown it quickly.  Ask Sergei Sirotkin.

You’re severely underestimating the skill level discrepancy between top-level W Series driver and Kevin Magnussen & Romain Grosjean. As in, the W Series winner would really struggle to make the 107% rule in F1, even in a Haas which usually is a top 10 capable car in qualy.

Yes they can, and they do. But the painful reality is that there hasn’t been a woman who’s managed to really compete with top level feeder-series talent. Which is why they created the W Series: to get these ladies some exposure, and probably hope that more girls will get into the sport.

It’s bittersweet to imagine the W Series, which says the heart of its operation is “the firm belief that women can compete equally with men in motorsport,” as a support race for F1. The setup benefits the women driving by pairing them with such major racing events, but it also places the women’s division as a support

Thank you.  It’s absurd to argue that because the NBA partially owns the WNBA, the female athletes should earn the exact same as the male athletes.  I’m all about equal pay in the “normal” workforce, where women truly do the same exact work as men (and attain similar sales numbers, revenue for the company, etc).  But

Chris Paul makes $40 Million a year. That’s more than the WNBA brings in. I’m all for WNBA players being treated fairly because they work hard and are great athletes, but the NBA is irrelevant to that argument. It actually does the WNBA players a disservice to compare the two because it makes people just dismiss their

If you are arguing for pay equality, don’t bring up the fame thing and mention you know nothing about the women sports. It undercuts your argument. Do basic research and pretend you know if you have to

It’s the media fault though. If only they talked about it more so people like Shannon can know star players and WNBA players can magically get millions. No need to actually watch, take interest in the league, and contribute your own money for WNBA success through things like buying tickets. Media coverage will

You could argue that men are overpaid and should be brought down to WNBA pay scales, but then there is that peskyowners are hugely and unfairly profiting off their players’ thing.

Who are the star players on the WNBA’s Washington Mystics? Couldn’t list any without a Google search first.

The WNBA brings in $25 million in revenue. The NBA brings in $7.4 BILLION in revenue. How on earth are you going to make the argument that the players in the WNBA should be paid anywhere near what NBA players make? Making the argument that they should be paid more is fine, but using the word equity and comparing the

The wNBA is still around? Well good for them if their numbers were the same as the NBA maybe they would get that 50/50 split. Right now, seems like they have a loooooooong way to go.....
