I don't question your ability to say the comparison is ridiculous, I want to understand why you do.
Example: If a young person who has been kart racing and who has been seriously involved in ballet, and is exceptionally good at both, but now has to commit to one or the others, asks you for guidance - what do you say:
"I can not help you because a comparison of the two is ridiculous?"
I have to be honest here. I often reply to posts in a cynical or sarcastic manner because I think people are just screwing around with me regarding things that to me seem pretty obvious. As with our exchange on this issue, my initial reaction was to think that you are just screwing around with me. So tell me, if you are honestly willing, are you really saying that we can not compare and contrast NASCAR to ballet and take lessons from one and apply it to the other, to look at both and see their similarities rather than just focusing in on the differences, give a serious evaluation of one compared to the other, look at both as they reflect socioeconomic trends including the governing topic in this thread?
Oh, to my fans, I will return to being an a$$ for a number of other reasons shortly - there is nothing to be concerned about.

No government subsidies, but costs $$$$$
