This isn't a social program or a constitutional right ... this is a business. And women going overseas for any reason are imprisoned for carrying illegal drugs ... the same result as anyone else regardless of sex of occupation. They don't go to prison for playing sports.
Less people (and therefore less $$) are interested in women's sports. That's a fact. And, if there is less money from sponsors and others, the prize pool is smaller.
Bill Gates and I were in the same profession ... software development. Why is he a billionaire and I'm not? Who do I complain to in order to level the playing field (pun intended)?
