This is true, but I was responding more the the title of the shared video, which claims the text mesage caused him to commit suicide.
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. It is not a normal behaviour.

Gymnastics definitely requires an abnormal level of physical ability and skill, as does ice dancing.
I wouldn’t really call them sports though, as the winner is determine by a process that is too subjective for my liking (maybe competative art would be a better term, I don’t know).

So let assume that men’s tenis generates more revenue from advertising because more people watch it. To pay men and women the same you either have to pay women more than they earn, which wouldn’t happen because it’s operating at a loss. Or you pay the men less, where would you suggest the leftover money goes?

Sport is a context of physical ability and skill, that is inherantly masquline.

Prize money should be equal to how many people watch the event, that’s where the money that is awarded comes from. If one gender or the other is unable to attract viewership then they are worth less (within the context of the sport) and should be paid accordingly.
No two people are equal

Snooker, pool, and darts are sports that I would expect women would be able to play equally as well as men, but they are things that women don’t seem to have much interest in playing so it would be hard to find numbers for this.

Olympic events for gymnastics are different for each gender, so it’s hard to make a comparison that way. But I don’t think there are many women who can do this:

Men also have faster reaction times, and better reflective instincts, and threat assessment than women do on average, all of which are of benifit in sports.

Nobody used Forum 1 currently, so if you are going to create something like this you might as well re-purpose F1.
