A discussion sparked by a listener's complaint about having to watch a women's cricket match before a men's game. The hosts analyse comedian Bill Burr's response to this sentiment, which included downplaying women's sports viewership and making objectifying comments about female athletes. Their conversation unpacks societal biases that devalue women's sports, the historical lack of investment and exposure, and the problematic comparison to men's sports. Ultimately, they advocate for greater support and recognition of female athletes, challenging harmful stereotypes and encouraging active engagement with women's sporting events.
