When I’ve tried to use the affirmative actions argument against them by using sports I’ve always been told “that’s different” and they never explain why
You don't even have to go as far out there as sports to point out their hypocrisy. What about teaching? Men have been all but driven out of teaching until you get to the high school level, it's massively effecting our sons, and the imbeciles on the left do absolutely nothing to address it. If they were serious about making sure everyone was being represented in all careers, where are the programs (I.E., discriminating on behalf of men - hand out scholarships to get them teaching credentials, and then discriminating in the hiring process to land them jobs) to change it?
What about college degrees? They have advantaged women to such a degree that colleges are now something like 2/3 women, and what have these righteous crusaders for "equality" done to help boys/men? We aren't even talking about creating programs to help boys. They won't even drop the programs to bias everything towards girls, when it's girls that are in the majority now.
They don't explain why, because they don't have to. The left owns the media (traditional/internet). They decide what the narrative is. They - by and large - decide what the public is enraged about. The media will never point out that they are assholes and hypocrites, and - most importantly - knowing that, and being called that wouldn't move them in the slightest. They just wanted power. It's that simple. They have zero ideological problems with discrimination; they just wanted to be the ones in charge of who is doing the discrimination.
The argument I've heard is they believe professional sports are like dogfighting.
Sure, the players do it voluntarily (but the dogs want to fight!), get paid millions, and become famous, but actually they're exploited and abused. And of course the teams are mostly black because they're so much easier to trick into being players.
It's different because to them white people aren't dumb enough to be in sports so it's good that they aren't.
I'm making my confused Jackie Chan face listening to them literally compare blacks to savage dogs while they claim they are anti-racists.
Also, I’ve always hated how a black athlete making millions is taken seriously when he whines about being oppressed or racism. Who do you think buys the most tickets?
I’ve never heard that rationalization but it doesn’t surprise me. Would make for a great comedy if sports leagues were forced to have affirmative action

Cognitive dissonance. They know they can't answer so try to dismiss it with weasel words and insults if you don't drop the subject.
When it's the NBA, somehow it's suddenly possible to measure quantitative merit

Great point. I didn’t have a male teacher until middle school. I do wonder how boys would develop if you had male elementary school teachers

It's self explanatory.
And especially white men.
