So recently ive been seeing alot of new female riders popping up and for some reason, within a year of them starting or so they get picked up by teams. My question is, why are all these non-experienced riders being put on well known/respected teams?
I understand that they're girls, and we dont have many of them on scooters but sponsoring a rider basically just because said rider is a female is sexist. Towards the community and the rider.
I can think of 3 girls who ride scooters, who are on prominent teams, that could be easily replaced by your everyday TIC rat if those girls were sponsored because of their skill.
The only reason i could see fit for sponsoring those in-experienced riders is maybe for sales purposes like attracting more attention from potential girls interested in riding scooters but otherwise, i dont really see whats the point of almost every girl stepping on a scooter getting put on.
I dunno. Just a thought.
