They should be watching the premier league, bundesliga and other top leagues where the best players in the world play, why would you want them watching women’s soccer where the skill level is a fraction of where it is in the men’s game, unless your goal is empowerment and boosting self esteem and not making them…

She’s playing in Europe because nobody gives a fuck about women’s sports here or anywhere else, not because “murica” you pretentious twat.

Can we agree that the topheavy margarita glass\martini glass is an awful design? I feel like they designed it knowing that there would be a good chance that the drinker would knock it over, thus needing to buy more booze.

Assault charges for that?! Suck it the fuck up, man. You don’t walk into the bear den and then act surprised when you get clawed.

Lol, if having a bunch of coaches hired away for bigger jobs makes you a powerhouse conference, then the MAC is apparently better at football than the SEC.

Butler should block his transfer.

“He alluded to the fact that something happened, and Coach D had a sense that it involved some sort of sexual allegation, and he immediately said ‘Don’t say anything more.’”

“...no other public school can stand up to Berkeley’s combination of elite academics and big-time sporting success.”

Gee...wouldn’t having a penis or having a vagina be considered a dividing line? Asking for a friend...

“There’s no neat line biologically.” Seriously?

In the women’s 800M, there are 3 women who are intersex and they have only lost to each other in the last two years. In every race. Including Olympics and world championships. They haven’t even lost to the Russian dopers. That’s how wide the gulf is.

I think your second paragraph is really the key. People have this general idea that men are better at sports, but they don’t understand how much better. Other examples include the USWNT losing to a U15 regional prep boys team and the Williams sisters getting smashed by the 160+ rated mens player.

One thing that is pretty straightforward is that male athletes destroy female athletes in almost every competitive category. The USWNT regularly loses scrimmages against boys U17 teams, and most woman’s track and field records are comparable with boys middle school records.

Yes. Yes it is.

That’s a shit take

There is precedent for this

the good part is no one really cares about women’s sports that much. So this will never become a large issue.

It’s because she is a woman by gender identity only, which in 99% of the cases, is all that matters, but in sports, she is biologically a man with all the advantages that conveys.

This is tricky. I support trans rights, but I also support the right of cis girls to compete in sports against a level playing field. I don’t know the perfect answer, but I don’t think that allowing a 15-year-old girl to compete with what is still, essentially, a boy’s body, is it.
