They can’t stop grievance mongering for one second.
First, the Washington Post:
Monobob is one of the newest Olympic sports. Compared with two- and four-person sleds, the pilots are busier, the ride is bouncier and the team’s wealth — or lack of it — makes little difference.
Also, one woman does the jobs of four men. https://t.co/R3dLrNLKWg pic.twitter.com/gSLqqUNKLV

Next, Vox:
It’s a new Olympic sport.
It’s just for women.
It’s more internationally equitable because it doesn’t require gobs of money to win.
But….
Somehow its still sexist and not fair and women have to do the job of four men… blah blah blah…
And America is actually favored to win the Gold.
I just found out about Monobob and these people already made me hate it by bitching about how it’s not perfect.
Whatever funding they are getting is too much.
Why? Because no one wants to be the passenger.
Don’t fret. Next time the Winter Olympics roll ‘round, we’ll field a transgender woman to compete. So that one man can do the work of one woman doing the work of four men.
👍🏻👍🏿👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾
That convoluted word salad made me laugh so much
Oh yay. Another sport I never heard of at a sporting event I’ve come to care nothing about.
Well, not quite true. I will watch biathlon. (shocking, I know.)
Note to self: Never try to watch a VOX Video again.
Have these idiots never heard of a Luge, or a Skeleton? They are tiny little frames that a person lie on and either go down the icy twisting track feet first (luge) or headfirst (skeleton). Yes, even women do those sports too.
Did they know there are even Black American Woman Skeleton Athletes?
Although NBC, the Media, and the IOC must still believe in the one-Drop Rule.

Beautiful Woman Athlete from the Air Force. Although she isn’t even the First Olympic Black Woman Skeleton Athlete. That was Simidele Adeagbo, from the Nordic country of Nigeria.
Oh geez!!!
I thought it said “monoboob!!!!”
Guilty here too.
Which would have made me slightly interested !!!
Does that make the driver an Amazon? (obscure greek mythological reference here… 🙂 )
At this point, I’m honestly surprised they haven’t tried to rename the Bobsled to something else because mUh SeXiSm . . .
Ah, removing sexism by… sexism.
Love this world.
It’s the same brilliant, highly credentialed minds who think they can remove Racism by returning black people to the days of Jim Crow and Segregation- but a polite, apologetic version.
It’s only for women, because no one in their right mind would get in with a woman driving, including other women.
Unconfirmed rumor has it that they do eliminations for the medal round by telling them to gas up the sled before the run. Anyone who tries is asked to leave the Olympics.
