There are a couple women's sports worth watching-women's tennis is pretty good-they often have better tactics than the men. Same with women's table tennis. Their footwork is amazing. Basketball-nah its a snoozer.
Sadly, I find most sports to be dull to watch. I also hate it when people get hurt. Being older, I realize now that injuries tend to linger. I would watch a child of mine play sports, though, as that's what a good dad would do.
I cannot argue with what you find entertaining.
Glad you're happy but it has absolutely nothing to do with RW and everything to do with fairness.
Speaking of melodrama
Trans folks have the right to be who they are. They do not have the right to dominate female sports due to their specific physical makeup that gives them an unfair advantage.
She may think and behave female, I don't much care about how she thinks or behaves regarding sporting events. I do care about how she performs, and if she performs like the natural born male that she is/was, then she should be banned from competing against females.
you mean waiting almost a month to post such a lame-ass reply?Speaking of melodrama
Should be like pro archery-OPEN and Women classes. Women at the big Vegas shoot can enter the OPEN division where the purses are higher. Men cannot enter the women's division
I didn't notice when you wrote the comment. I just noticed that in it you complained about drama while claiming that trans women "destroy" women's sports.
they do. the CT girls track and the Ivy league women's swim meet
Women's sports doesn't have an audience from any demographic, including trans women. By your logic, trans women shouldn't have an opinion on this issue since they don't watch women's sports either.
maybe only one sprinter doped in the 1988 men's 100 meter dash but he "won". I'd say that impacted the field rather significantly. The sanctity of sport and the interests of real women trump the feelings of men who want to compete as girls. They should compete in an open class, not against girlsView attachment 67384563

Why some states are sending transgender athletes to the sidelines
As another school year begins, more student-athletes than ever before are being denied opportunities by their own state legislatures. What's going on? And why?www.espn.com

A) Transgender youth participating in high school sports represent just 0.44% of all student athletes - the real question is to WHY this has suddenly emerged as a "HOT BUTTON" issue with the American public and State Legislatures across the nation - WHO has the most to gain from exploiting it during an election year!
B) Given that transgender student athletes are already few and far between, most fearing for their personal safety should their "gender identity" be exposed - most politicians voting to exclude them from sports would be hard pressed to provide documented examples, within their state, where it resulted in an "unfair" advantage!
C) Transgender students are already a very high risk group - confusion as to their gender identity, isolation, fear of being discovered, trust issues, nobody in which to confide, isolation, verbal and physical abuse, isolation, feelings of worthlessness, depression, suicides!
D) Recent studies have indicated that participating in high school sports can have a positive impact on the mental health of transgender youth - responsible educators, politicians and members of the general public should all be encouraging LGBTQ students to play sports, not using "gender identity" to erect barriers to relegate them to 2nd class citizens!
E) Given that sexual orientation has never been a conscious decision, it is highly unlike that anyone would deliberately identify as "transgender" by choice - there should be a special place in Hell reserved for those politicians who are actively promoting their careers, at the expense of these young student athletes living in a society where "THE ODDS HAVE ALREADY STACKED AGAINST THEM!"
I didn't look up CT track, but the swim meet was held on Feb. 16. Not "destroyed".
The problem with professional women's sports is that the skill levels typically aren't very high. People watch professional sports to see people doing extraordinary things. Watching a professional women's team that would lose to a high school boys team isn't as interesting as watching the higher-performing men. That said, I did enjoy watching the US women's soccer team on occasion. And, I'm not particularly interested in watching sports as a whole.
