Oh, those manly Indy car drivers.

Prior to the Indy 500 on Sunday, driver Robby Gordon started a whine-fest. Gordon and several others are complaining that female driver Danica Patrick (who finished fourth and became the first woman to ever lead the Indy 500) has an unfair advantage because she does not weigh as much as the men, and they want the rules changed.

What are they going to do if male jockeys--who are hardcore athletes, by the way--decide to start racing cars? You don't hear Patrick complaining that because of her size she is not as strong as the other drivers. Also, I don't remember anyone making this complaint about Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James, or Sarah Fisher. Then again, none of them finished fourth.

Listen up, boys. Quit your crying and try to find your gonads. Seriously.
