So instead of just trying to solve a very-manageable problem, the woke culture acts like they have never done anything wrong, and that the oversight was intentional, cruel, vicious, misogynist, and probably racist and sexist. And the NCAA leaders respond as though they themselves had just pushed Mother Teresa off a 5,000-foot cliff. Pathetic.

Stop groveling. Fix the oversight and stop tying everything to some societal injustice. It never ends and the failures are never called out.

There’s no such thing as a ‘woman’ so how can there be a women’s weight room? Problem solved.

Yep, it becomes a parody after a while, doesn’t it?

Also in the article, complaints that the women’s gift bags were unequal in some way. It didn’t say, but I bet there were some different items in men’s and women’s gift bags. And that right there would be outrageous to the social justice warrior types.

How did we ever get to a point, where absolutely everything is somehow tied to some societal injustice? I wonder how this all happened?

There should be equity in college sports. All teams must be made up of a representative sample of each race and sex of the population. 65% white, 14% Hispanic, 13% black, 6.5% Asian and 50-50 male to female. Signing up the best players is racist against groups that historically aren’t as athletic.

Usually the coach rules the budget for the team in regards to training, uniforms, transportation and so on, so isn’t it the COACH’S fault?

THE DEMON-O-CRAT LABEL VOTED FOR THESE TWO ISSUES
ABORTION FUNDING SUPPORT AND THIS. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE USED IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RACES BUT WAS NOT

FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports...Any Dem congressman who didn’t support this got kicked out by holding their primary in remapped districts.This effort by those in control of the demo party shpould have been used to demonstrate where that party is coming from. Why weren’t those votes an issue in this 2020 campaign by the Republicans ? Not just where this occurred but nationally?

.. Democratic candidate for America’s Vice President California and likely presidential replacement Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would that would force funding public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams.

In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls

I was going through the channels and came across some sport that was beach foot volleyball.

Professional sport.

I think they should combine it with archery.

Shouldn’t networks and advertisers pay the same amount for both the men’s and women’s tournaments?

Don’t see the sarc tag... but...

Don’t see the country flocking to watch the Woman’s tournaments. Always a Men’s bracket/office pool going. No interest in Women’s Basketball.

Same nonsense as women’s soccer. Sure it’s played. But I guess it’s the lesbo crowd which are it’s biggest fans.
