A well known race car driver has his nose out of joint because Danica Patrick, the only woman to qualify for this years INDY 500, has what he calls an unfair advantage because she only weighs 100lbs. Lets ignore her skill in driving and the fact that it's the cars' weight that is the qualifying factor.
The Indy Racing League does not consider the weight of the driver in its race specifications. The car has to weigh at least 1,525 pounds before the fuel and driver are added, and teams in Indy have estimated that Patrick will gain close to 1 mph in speed because of her small stature.
Would this big burly macho man have said the same thing if it had been a "Daniel Patrick" weighing in at 100lbs? Probably not,as there have been lightweight male drivers before without this fuss. He is also threatening to boycott the race. Fine, stay home you misogynistic POS. Bets if he and his other knuckledraggers refuse to race, and she wins, they will say it was only because they weren't there?
I wish these neanderthals would get make up their minds:
Either women aren't good enough to compete with men.
Or they have too big an advantage.
NOT BOTH!
