The USGA told Davidson on the same day that he had met the organization’s Gender Policy eligibility requirements and could now participate in the group’s championships.

Plans to join LPGA

Davidson, a 28-year-old social media employee for NBC’s Peacock division, which is part of the Golf Channel, wants the LPGA to make the same decision.

No sh*t. The Russians and Chinese had the gymnasts. The Koreans have cornered the LPGA

Now this is serious business. School sports doesn’t involve much money in the athlete’s pocket, but top tier golfers are playing for big cash and sponsorships.

Will pro golf cave to the madness?

It looks like all our blogging, posting and videoing didn’t stop this nonsense. The foolishness continues. Men play against women and win.

A few sensible people complain, but it does no good. The results are predetermined: trans always wins and normal people are forced to bow down and accept the loss.

Collectively, the country has gone insane.

Have a Tranni division

At which point they'll shriek about segregation, separate is not equal, drinking fountains, Jim Crow, lynch mobs, back of the bus, not to mention a truckload of "ists" to spew out.

I hope we can have a discussion without anger being injected into this.

I (and a lot of other people) think that certain women's sports are a joke, such as the WNBA and women's soccer to name two.

Most people watch sports to see the best players and the highest level of physical competition, but it is obvious some people watch women's sports to see the best female players, which isn't sports or competition, it is some kind of gender advocacy or need to pump themselves up. The fact that women have to compete as hard as they can against other women is certainly competition, but it isn't the highest level of competition that people are willing to lay out money for.

It is why people pay money to watch college or professional sports rather than high school sports. Two high school teams might compete quite hard against each other, but nobody will argue it is the highest form of competition and sports accomplishment. And they certainly won't pay $100 a head to go see a high school game.

At the professional level, there are people who might pay $20 to watch two professional women's basketball teams compete, but they would balk at $100 because it simply isn't worth it. Unless someone has a relative competing, or wants to say that men are only better at physical sports because they have more opportunities that women lack...there is no reason people want to watch women's sports in general. Most people, even honest women, see it as a pandering endeavor outside the obvious draw of direct relatives in competition.

Some sports that females compete in such as Figure skating and gymnastics can compel men to watch because in those sports, females can bring a sense of grace and artistry that men sometimes either lack or it doesn't come across.

I find it both sad and funny at the same time hearing athletes in women's sports demanding the same pay as the male competitors in the same sport.

Nothing here is any knock on women except for one thing: They physically cannot in any way, shape or form compete against men in physical sports. That is a fact, not a vestigal organ of male supremacy from a less enlightened age. That is a fact.

There was an author of a paper titled "Women in Combat:The Question of Standards" by Jude Eden, a female Marine. It is well worth reading, and her summary says it well:

"...Meanwhile, the argument to maintain the combat exclusion makes itself easily in every aspect. Including women in combat units is bad for combat, bad for women, bad for men, bad for children, and bad for the country. The argument for the combat exclusion is provable all the time, every time.

Political correctness has no chance against Nature. Her victories are staring us in the face at all times.

The men just keep being able to lift more and to run faster, harder, and longer with more weight on their backs while suffering fewer injuries.

They just keep never getting pregnant.

The combat units have needs that women cannot meet. Women have needs that life in a combat unit cannot accommodate without accepting significant disadvantage and much greater expense.

Where 99 percent of men can do the heavy-lifting tasks typical of gunners, but 85 percent of women cannot, there is no gap women need to fill.

She also explains in the same article why this is so:

"...Sex differences in physical performance are here to stay. As Constance Holden observed in Science magazine, the male advantage in athletics will endure, due to men’s 'steady supply of a performance-enhancing drug that will never be banned: endogenous testosterone'..."

Again...this is no knock on women. They have no control over something like endogenous testosterone which is present in all men and normally missing (or present in miniscule amounts) in all women. That is biology, and that is a fact.

And it is why there are no women in Special Forces combat teams.

And why, after nearly half a century of women running in marathons head to head with men, the fastest woman in the Boston Marathon each April will still finish about 15 minutes behind the fastest man, and behind hundreds of other men less talented than the winner.

I agree....

My two girls swam competitively,,was good for them...Physically and mentally.

Of course they could win against many older out of shape men...

I was a swimmer, surfer..etc. In my day...I could hold my breath for 3-4 minutes...

My oldest wanted to swim 50 yds against me. She was fast and smooth....She was maybe 14 at the time.

I beat her...nearly killed me. LOL!!
