i used to be a collegiate sports photographer. In my last few years the colleges introduced Women’s Hockey. I have to admit laughing out loud when I heard the first 2 minute penalty for “checking.”

Women’s hockey is different from men’s in a similar way that college basketball is different between the teams. The women’s game is not as fast and is more “technical.”

Nothing in the world is worse than women’s lacrosse. Ha Ha.

Good idea, but I’d have my “hitman” aim a little higher than the knee ... go for the hidden tackle.

We have a large Pacific Island population in our state. They play intramural rugby at this university. The Poly women could give the men a rough game.

Exactly right. DNA and chromosomes don’t care what parts someone lops off or grafts on. A person is what he or she is born to be.

I have a problem with males playing on women’s teams in women’s sports. On the other hand, I also have a problem with women who tolerate that crap.

If there’s a female out there somewhere who can keep up with males, then fine. In my long life, I’ve seen only two such anomalies. But on behalf of the 99.99975% who aren’t physically able to compete with males, it’s too great of a risk to take, just to achieve a trendy novelty.

she is asking why the Dutch Rugby Association allows transgender athletes to compete against women. ... Why do people continue to tolerate this nonsense?

Sadly, most people have a very strong desire to be a part of the "in-crowd" and this often drives people's actions, especially when the media pushes over and over that being "transgender" is hip, modern, and cool.

Who did you vote for, Elena? Or did you even bother to vote?

Leave the contact sports to men.

Why do women insist on doing everything men do?

The girls need to find ways of subtly delivering a knee to the crotch as a preemptive move.

I realize that I’m an old man and that society has passed me by in a lot of ways. I just can’t get my head around boys playing in girl’s sports. I can’t believe the schools and parents would allow it, but the main reason is peer pressure. In my day those ‘girls’ would have been chased out of town. By laughter.

Every team had a ‘goon’ who was on the team for just that purpose.

That is certainly true in ice hockey. Never the Frenchies…guys with names like Dave Schulz and Terry O’Reilly protected players like Guy Lafleur and Marcel Dione.

This is career ending. In a sane world the man would be charged with assault and jailed.

Elena, you, and all your teammates, should have refused to go on the pitch with a man.

Bingo. These girls have got to refuse to play against the sicko men who want to play on girls’ teams.

Agree, every girl needs to be part of this nutty wacko nonsense and refuse to participate when a man is involved.

You have to be out of your mind as a woman to get on any field against a man let alone a rugby field.

These injuries are happening repeatedly when men are allowed to play women’s sports:

“A high school volleyball player suffered severe head and neck injuries resulting in long-term concussion symptoms after a transgender spiked a ball in her face.”

The only solution is for women to refuse to play any sport against men pretending to be women. ALL of them need to do this until the entire system collapses.

Had a similar injury as a 16 year old high school wrestler, wrong angle on a single leg takedown in practice and knee joint completely dislocated, foot extended at 90% to my right. Was a shock but the actual pain was delayed.

The reconstructive surgery, rebuilding the entire joint, and long rehab were the worst part. This young woman's road ahead will be difficult and she will never be able to perform or likely even participate in any contact sports. All to satisfy a male athlete of inferior talent. If this happened in the US she could and should sue the MF and his team into bankruptcy.

Woman beating used to be a crime. Now it’s called “sport”.
