What feminists own Formula 1 or a dart tournament?

Exactly how can feminists force those owners to stop them from conducting business as they want to? They can't. Simple as that. I've already explained this in another post, but unless there's a financial argument (in which case you can hardly blame "feminism", you can't force neither advertisers nor viewers to accept their policies) or the owners themselves agreed with the viewpoint and made the call themselves, there's no way this would happen.

It was feminists who sparked the fire that caused the final decision. I've watched mainly videos and I can't be arsed pulling it up but there was a LOT of push back that caused both of these, a gamer gate but on a smaller level and more scattered. There has been years of controversies surrounding this and they finally gave in. Game companies never had to listen to Anita Sarkesian but they did, some still do but most don't. If companies perceive a threat to there image especially when they are having a hard time like F1 is, they will take action no matter where it is coming from. Also, a lot of models have spoke out of threats from feminists before and after. Your comment makes no since, Lads mags have a male audience too, they don't have to listen to female outrage but they have in recent years. Same with F1 and darts. 

If a company sees a perceived threat to their public image, then it's a fundamentally financial decision. Why shouldn't a company adapt to what will make them money? If enough people dislike this practice that the tournament organizers view it as a potential financial threat, then they can react as they want, as long as it's within the law.
