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.

    Did you read the article (and linked statements) or not? The league stated the reason the girls couldn’t play and that reason that a boy might not be able to handle avoiding hitting a girl if they lose. None of this would be an issue if the girls weren’t winning. I don’t buy for a second that nobody noticed all season that they were losing to girls.

      You mean the blog post on “comicsands.com”?

      And this erudite take by “Prez, a social media user on X (Formerly Twitter)”, who “didn’t buy it”?

      Yes, I did! Multiple times, unfortunately!

      It’s ridiculous to be so ready to fall for populist propaganda when you just happen to be on the self-congratulatory team, but the mode of thinking is the exact same as employed by MAGA freaks.

      Your lack of critical thinking makes you just as bad as them.

        I already told you that I clicked through to other posts as well as the statement from the league. What else is there to parse. If you don’t like the blog that is linked, feel free to post a different one. People like you are interesting to me, so quick to insult people online, arrogantly making judgements. I bet you’d be really nice to me in person. https://www.swohiosports.com/
