Watch what gets the lead segment on a slow sports day: a male quarterback's 300th touchdown pass, a manager's 1,000th win, a trade rumor. Then watch an actual world record in a women's event land in the briefs. The gap is not about audience size, it is about what editors have been trained to treat as important. FIFA expanded the Women's World Cup to 32 teams in 2023 because the game kept growing into bigger stages, yet coverage habits still act like women's milestones are the undercard. The proposition asks for one consistent test: is this a genuine milestone? If yes, it leads, whoever set it. Anything else is editors grading achievements on a curve and calling it judgment. FIFA
