Any other guys (ones that were born male) want their reparations?
If this stuff had been available back in the day we could have all been cheerleaders, and stuff!!
I really want my reparations as I was totally banned from the girls locker room.

Just think of what would have happened if a white player had said they did not want to visit Obama but would visit Bush?

Tim Thomas, formerly of the Boston Bruins, decided not to visit the white house in 2011 after the Bruins won the Stanley Cup,and he wrote a very well thought out, articulate dissertation on his issues with government in general. He did not personally insult anyone. He didn't direct any vitriol at anyone or mention any political parties or politicians by name. He also did not send out a tweet in broken English stating, "we not coming".

Needless to say he was excoriated in the media for "disrespecting" the first (1/2) black president. Same formula and hypocritical double-standard every time.

Women are not competing against men, they are competing against other women.They are not equal in strength to men, but thats not the issue when women compete against each other. If their sport gives them the fan base ( in which we just saw in the women’s national championship) they have a right to compete. Just because men are stronger doesn’t mean women cannot compete . I find women’s gymnastics, swimming, diving, ice skating much more interesting than watching men. Actually, the most watched sports in the Olympics are women’s ice skating and gymnastics.
You are a misogynist.

I also want to add. I am a woman. I pay property taxes, the latest levy was paying for more recreational activities for the schools. That means sports. As a taxpayer, why ( if I had a daughter) should that money only go to paying for boys sports?
Lets take the issue of college. Female students, who are now the majority sex in college, pay for intercollegiate sports through their tuition. They have a right to a piece of that pie.
Lets move on to pro sports . Who pays for the baseball, football, basketball stadiums? Taxpayers do. Half of those taxpayers are women.

When I was a kid, some years all I watched in Olympics was figure skating and gymnastics.

No one has a “right to compete” in anything. You can try out for a sports team — and if you aren’t good enough to make the team, you figure out how to work harder to make it next year. You don’t sit there and whine that you are entitled to play on the school basketball team just because your parents are taxpayers.

For what it’s worth … I post this as someone who doesn’t think government-run and taxpayer-funded schools should even exist.

It’s no coincidence that these sports are all scored by judges — not won or lost based on objective performance in the competition — most goals, fastest time, heaviest weight lifted, etc. I guess women love that kind of judging crap with the emotional drama, the controversy, and the totally subjective nature of the scoring. No offense, but that’s the kind of attitude that leads to a shelf full of participation trophies instead of real winners and losers.

“We fought so hard, right”. We fought so hard”

The party of chaos, protesting, fighting, and division. In all my life, I can not remember a time when Democrats didn’t create turmoil.

No more men’s and women’s only non-binary where all “genders” are allowed to play according to their ability. Women are free to try out and join the football teem and men are free to compete and play in woman’s softball.

What I am saying is there are two separate teams, one women and one men. A woman can try out for the women's team, the men can try out for the men. If a woman cannot make it onto a woman's team, then they are not good enough.
What you are saying is women should compete against men. You know that women don't have the same strength as men. The end result will be no women in sports. I am sure there are many Freepers here who have daughters that competed in sports and were supported in that endeavor by their family .
Half the population of women in this country are funding sports through their tax dollars, they should have a share. Or lets just take recreation, and sports stadiums of our taxes, and only men should pay.
My issue is women should refuse to compete against mentally ill men. That would stop this nonsense completely.

Three teams - men, women and trans... >

Trans compete against each other whether they're man to woman or woman to man... and normal men competes with men and normal women with women.

That sounds good to me. The only problem is no one wants to see trans compete, so they would have no spectators. No one wants to watch a bunch of mentally ill people compete.
Men who think they are women don’t like women. They infantilize women ( for example Mulvaney wearing little girls clothes as an example of how a woman comports herself), calls vaginas Barbie pouches, claim they have menstrual periods when they don’t even know what that is like, steal our sports and honors away .
Participating in women’s sports is a way they can put down women.

The 'gay community' will watch their sports events - and Corporate American - the idiots at Budweiser and Nike and other sexists groups that hate real women and love the giggling 15 year old stereotypes of real women will support them...

Woman-face like black-face is insulting and demeaning. But I can assure you, sexists and racists will be there with bells on to watch.

And if not, it's NOT our problem.

Sports: Men's teams. Women's teams. and Trans Teams. Period.

Women had a huge hand in putting this POS into office.

Yes, they did. That's exactly why Pedo Joe and his advisors know he'll get away with this. And he will.

That's the thing about protected classes. A government that can create them can take them away.

I have said no such thing. What I HAVE said is that feminists can’t have it both ways — and that being treated equally with men means they have to take the bad with the good. If they aren’t good enough to compete equally in sports, then perhaps they don’t belong in the CEO’s office.

In our current legal climate, gender-segregated sports are no different than having different bathrooms for black and white people.
