A 6th grade girls team from Kentucky was set to go for the year-end championship tournament, but was told they were banned due to fears boys teams might ‘retaliate’ if they lost to the girls team.

    Just another reminder that sports are segregated by gender because men got upset at women beating them, not because of “muh muscle mass” or “muh bone density”.

    It’s why Chess is fucking segregated by gender. The most “giga brained chess grandmasters” didn’t like being beaten by women.

      I noticed a long time ago that there is “basketball” and “women’s basketball” and have considered so much of sports machismo being about male fragility ever since.

            It’s not exciting. It’s boring to watch, at the end of the day that is all it is. I don’t watch men’s basketball either, but I can very clearly see the difference in the game, they’re actually different games entirely.
