"It has crossed my mind that I would like to run or help to run a pro women's tournament, although I really don't know much about organizing an event (it seems overwhelming actually)"
About this Quote
The subtext is structural. Pro women's tournaments don't fail to exist because athletes lack passion; they fail because event management, sponsorship networks, venue logistics, and governing-body buy-in are specialized, gatekept forms of power. Wyatt's "help to run" is telling: she's already imagining coalition and mentorship, even as she recognizes how the labor behind "just putting on an event" is routinely invisible until you're the one asked to do it for free or on vibes.
"Overwhelming" is the quiet indictment. It's a word that carries the weight of unpaid hours, thin budgets, and the emotional tax of being expected to pioneer while still performing. In a single parenthetical, she captures the bind women athletes often face: if you want a stage, you're expected to build it yourself, without the institutional scaffolding men can take for granted. The intent isn't self-pity; it's a realistic flare shot into the air, signaling both readiness and the need for a system that meets that readiness halfway.
