How do empty-skulled dunces — like the NCAA's gender-discriminating March Madness administrative folk — still exist in America?

If you missed it . . .

 

. . . the following bit of highly indicative American cultural news:

 

 

Still in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this week, Connecticut women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma told reporters that his team gets a different COVID-19 test than the men's team.

 

He said that his team receives daily antigen tests while the men's team gets a daily PCR test creating an outcry on social media as to why the men's and women's teams are not given the same tests.

 

According to the Food and Drug Administration, antigen tests — the type administered to women's teams — have a quick turnaround time for results but, "have a higher chance of missing an active infection."

 

A PCR test — the type administered to men's teams — is considered the "gold standard" by Memorial Healthcare, a hospital in Michigan, as it, "actually detects RNA (or genetic material) that is specific to the virus and can detect the virus within days of infection, even those who have no symptoms." They have a longer turnaround time for results but they can be delivered in 24 hours.

 

NCAA President Mark Emmert told three news outlets, including USA TODAY Sports, there are no different risks from either test.

In sum

 

March Madness men's and women's COVID tests were different — admit authorities — but, still, they were the same, they quickly add.

 

Kind'a like the NCAA's gender-discriminating March Madness weight rooms, huh?

. . . Sedona Prince, masterfully rammed Mark Emmert's category-representing BS up his prominently displayed vacuity.

 

She tweeted a video showing the laughably huge difference in quality between the women's March Madness weight room and the men's.

 

 

The moral? — America never runs out of its bottomless supply of authority-wielding dumbshits

 

In this highly representative case, for instance:

 

 

We'll make our female athletes weak — and then we'll feed them to undetected COVID?

 

 

There's a policy for national societal success.
