Y'all spend so much time thinking about whether or not 20 kids can play sports. It's super weird.
Clown post
It's happening everyday in high schools around the country. Women just got beat up by men in the damn Olympics. It's happening in ncaa volleyball, swimming, etc. You keep pretending this is some obscure issue though. Makes you look very smart and like a very serious person.
Just a reminder that the Fox News reporter, Sandra Smith, participated in track for LSU. She knows more about this issue than your typical journalism major.
That video pisses me off beyond belief. Will she go to a California college and get beat out by another guy...?
She's absolutely right. The word "discouraging" in that context sums it up as simply as possible. I would be discouraged playing on an uneven playing field, knowing that you lost because someone had an advantage that is literally not possible for any other participant to match. Talk about a kick to the pants, even though you knew it was going to happen, but still gave it everything you had. The consequence of this scenario no doubt takes its toll on girls' confidence and pride, and people don't think about this being harmful to them mentally going forward. Every participating girl has had a negative influence on their lives, none of this "it's only like 20 kids" bull**** that gets spewed. It is far far more harmful than that and you know it.
It's almost like competing for a job and losing out because you're a white male against a black trans guy, hired only because of what they are or pretend to be, not who they are or what they provide to the company. Or literally anyone other than an asian male. Oh wait...
