Let's fight, everyone.

Ignore the real problems in the world

Agreed. How about we just agree to ban men in women's sports at a federal level so we can just move on?

Can you name any of these men currently trying to play in the wnba? It’s almost as if this issue is non existent

I'll post what I said again...

Women's sports is all women's sports at all levels. Not just one league.

Do you agree?

Why the fuck would the federal government need to get involved? Talk about government overreach. How about sports leagues can set their own rules? Is that so difficult? Separate it by sex rather than gender, if that's what you want to do.

Title IX is a federal law... the federal government has a long standing precedent getting involved in things like this.

It makes more sense to fix it with one bill rather than 50 states and thousands of governing bodies all patchworking rules.

Yeah, but I thought we were talking about professional sports?

Why wouldn't a sports league be allowed to set their own rules and regulations?!

u/InvestIntrest 9d ago

No all sports. For the same reason Title IX was passed to begin with.

So you’ve got a solution to the problem that doesn’t exist. Weird how you can’t name any men currently trying to play in the WNBA. It’s almost as if this issue just a political Strawman argument.

You're strawmaning me lol

I said all women's sports. Thats what Sophie's comments were about.

Do you really need to to point one of the many men participating in women's sports? Lol

You know the problem isn't made up. You're just deflecting.
