So yeah, all 4 of those things are the same.
So you'd put the Professional Darts Championship, World Series of Poker and the World Cup of Baking up there?

Yeah, that's kinda the point...we've raised Title IX sports in the media to the equivalent of the highest level of sport in human endeavor.
...The pinnacle of socially engineered, government subsidized athletics is not in the same realm, galaxy, Universe of sport that is the height of human athletics.
....otherwise, there'd be no Women's World Cup...just a World Cup (which is gender-neutral btw, anyone can try out for the team.). But when you lose to average 14-year old boys on the pitch, I guess the Women's World Cup is the pinnacle...and equal to winning the Masters.

Those aren't the dream for very many people. Also aren't team sports.
Whereas Little League players dream of playing in the World Series. Kids on the frozen ponds dream of lifting the Stanley Cup. Young golfers want a green jacket.
When we brought home the 2015 World Cup, Sophia Smith was playing high school soccer and Trinity Rodman was playing club soccer. They were watching and thinking about 2023 and 2027.
I'm not going to expect them to pass up the opportunity on the grounds of Rap being an idiot, any more that I would expect players in another sport to give up their dreams.

Golf is barely a sport, and soccer is infinitely more physically demanding a sport. Baseball doesn't match a Title IX sport like wrestling or the martial arts. You are making a bad point and equating what is popular to Americans to what is the highest level of sport.
