She wants to play on a TEAM OF MEN? That would mean NOTHING!


I've never watched this stupid show, but I've been reading about it to try to understand its premise.

From what I understand, the premise is that the woman wants to play on a TEAM OF MEN. Is this correct?

If so, that means absolutely nothing. Any "wins" she receives under that premise would be solely because she is unevenly yoked with men who are really, really, really good - and therefore the men pick up the slack caused by having her presence handicap their team, and the men carry her to victory time after time.

This show seems to be implying that having a woman player would be impressive for women. But under the condition of a woman playing on a team of men, that is not at all the case. Only the men would be impressive.

In order for women players to be impressive, they would have to form a team of all women, who compete against and beat teams of all men.

In simpler terms, if I've understood this stupid show's premise correctly, then it's actually a male empowerment show, and it's pretensions of being a female empowerment show are a ridiculous non-sequitur.

"In simpler terms..."

Hahaha!


Hahahahahahaha!!

I don't think you meant to imply the terms are simple. Maybe you meant you are simpler?
