the NCAA asked women to cough into a handkerchief and whisper ‘it’s nothing.’ (that’s all-hole)

March 2021

“It’s no secret that the NCAA is mistreating its female athletes at the March Madness college basketball tournament. After being criticized by some players for vast discrepancies in weight rooms between the men and women, the NCAA apologized but their real message had already been sent. Women athletes are worth less than men. The NCAA also provided the women with less opulent swag bags, lower-quality food and less accurate Covid tests. Basically, while the men got the gold standard of virus testing, the NCAA asked women to cough into a handkerchief and whisper ‘it’s nothing.’” —Samantha Bee

“It’s a stark manifestation of larger inequalities: the NCAA pays men’s conferences hundreds of thousands of dollars, but provides no payouts at all to women’s teams. The 1972 measure known as Title IX bars sex discrimination in college athletics for schools that receive federal aid, but many schools don’t comply, and the NCAA is not subject to it. That’s not a loophole, that’s all-hole.” —Samantha Bee
