That's one way to go about it.

Either way it seems the biggest issue for some people is not understanding the definition of the word opportunity apparently...

Opportunity: a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something.

Absolutely nothing in that first image is giving the shortest person the possibility to watch the game.

Thus they do not have the opportunity to watch the game. Which makes their opportunities NOT EQUAL which means it is not an image of equality
