Serena Williams proved how absurd the sports worlds gender pay-gap is with a powerful punchline.

During her opening monologue at Thursday nights ESPY Awards, the tennis legend poked fun at one of the craziest stories in sports this year: when an investigation found Dodgers baseball star Shohei Ohtani had been fleeced of over $16 million dollars by his translator, Ippei Mizuhara, over two years.

After calling the scandal one of the craziest stories in sports this year, Williams said, Yall, male athletes get paid so much more than female athletes that they dont even notice losing $16 million.
