#9  For all sports, I tend to watch less in cases where the enjoyment is overcome by annoyance and distraction. PED scandals, labor disputes, domestic violence case, and athletes telling me what to think are not what I am looking for. I almost never watch ESPN these days. For the business of sports the trans-sports movement will be like the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man. It looks like the NCAA is headed for the trash heap regardless. On a lower level maybe kid sports will get moved out of schools where parents have more control.

#8  This is the correct action and every sport should follow suit.

When called transphobic they should push back by insisting that any trans-female athletes must have their penis removed at the very least. They must be committed to being a woman not just a tourist taking advantage of current PC trends.

#7  Tennis star Rafael Nadal claims his chest pain injury (that forced him to drop out of the Indian Wells tournament in March) is not another vaccine-induced heart injury, says it's a "stress fracture" on one of his ribs. Is this another cover story by a prominent COVID vaxx fanatic?

#6  They should also be protesting the vaxx mandates. 15 more vaxxed athletes bite the dust at one professional sports event.

#5  Finally. They did the sensible thing. Show some damn sisterhood and watch the wokists crumble. We men do it for each other all the time. I hope this becomes a trend and trannies and pervs of all types never get to play any sport at all.

#4  This is the only way they will stop this idiocy. Just don't compete. These events depend heavily on corporate sponsors and if there are no riders, there will be no eyeballs on the ads.

#3  If I were 14 again, I would register as transgender so I could take showers with the girls. I wonder if these types of girls get a “Bo.er” when they do. Any info on this would be interesting.
