Barry's supposed to be the face of an organization that has a mission statement of breaking down barriers in triathlon for all person's in the sport. Bit sad, especially when you look at USAT has done with the ITU program and generating a far stronger female field for Rio.
For what it's worth, the prize money in Western Australia was $50,000. For most of those based out of North America, unless you won, it wasn't worth the trip. But hey, let's blame the women who had to A.) overrace to try to qualify for Kona in the first place and B.) might be more savvy with their race choices than men.

Also to be fair everybody says stupid shit on twitter at some point.
Also, in his position, he really should be able to filter the stupid shit he says on Twitter.
Fattest BQ on record--- *allegedly
2016 (and last) Rev3 Cedar Point champ- don't google the time though
5 women at IMWA out of # total women pros = % participation
x men at IMWA out of # total men pros = % participation
# women DNF IMWA / total (5) = ?
# men DNF IMWA / total at race = ?
guessing #s might reflect a different version of "professionalism" (with the disclaimer that I understand pros have a lot of reasons for DNF-ing, including future earning potential, esp w/ payout being 6 deep).

National Funding plan, which supercedes anything from the above list: http://m.usatriathlon.org/~/media/20467a68baf540cf9704479135a5e833.ashx
There may also be some other grants and such here and there outside of these, and it's possible it could go towards a non-Olympic pathway athlete, but probably not super likely.

For what it's worth, USAT could wind up withholding sanctioning of WTC events if they so chose. Wonder if that would cause enough of a shitstorm (no WTC race would then count toward USAT rankings, which some AGers do covet) to get WTC to finally do something about it.
